{"product_id":"1595","title":"Buddhism \u0026 Social Action","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn modern Western society, humanistic social action, in its bewildering variety of forms, is seen both as the characteristic way of relieving suffering and enhancing human well-being and, at the same time, as a noble ideal of service, of self-sacrifice, by humanists of all faiths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003co:p\u003eBuddhism, however, is a humanism in that it rejoices in the possibility of a true freedom as something inherent in human nature. For Buddhism, the ultimate freedom is to achieve full release from the root causes of all suffering: greed, hatred and delusion, which clearly are also the root causes of all social evils. Their grossest forms are those which are harmful to others. To weaken, and finally eliminate them in oneself, and, as far as possible, in society, is the basis of Buddhist ethics. And here Buddhist social action has its place.\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bps.lk\/library-search-select.php?id=wh285\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView eBook versions for free on the BPS site.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are a total of 447 Wheels published by the Buddhist Publication Society (BPS), with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.pariyatti.org\/Wheel-Publications_c_386.html\"\u003e222 titles listed on our website\u003c\/a\u003e.
