"This systemic introduction to Buddhist ethics is aimed at anyone interested in Buddhism, including students, scholars and general readers. At the same time it develops a careful, probing analysis of the nature and practical dynamics of Buddhist ethnics both in its unifying themes and in the particularities of different Buddhist traditions.
