Judeo-Christian and Buddhist Justice

Winston L. King

Abstract:

This article compares and contrasts the traditional Judeo- Christian and Buddhist notions of justice. It begins with an examination of some traditional biblical resources, such as the Job story, and moves ahead to trace Buddhist ideas about justice as developed in the Pali Canon. In the Conclusion, more recent Buddhist considerations are developed, such as those found in Zen and in modern socially engaged Buddhism.
