Abstract

This paper explores the ethical foundations of animal rights from a Buddhist perspective, focusing on the fundamental teaching of non-violence (ahiṃsā), lovingkindness (mettā) and compassion (karuṇā). Grounded in the Buddha's teaching as reflected in the Pāli Canon and its commentaries, Buddhism advocates non-violence, lovingkindness and compassion to all living beings, including animal. The principle of Ahiṃsā calls for abstention from causing harm or killing to animals. Mettā promotes the cultivation of lovingkindness, an active intention and action for the welfare of others, to all living beings. Karuṇā encourages a compassionate action and active response to reduce the suffering of all living beings. Through these ethical principles, Buddhism provides a moral basis for advocating the respectful and compassionate treatment towards animals. Furthermore, it discusses the emergence of modern Buddhist movements who promote compassionate living through practices such as fang sheng (animal release), establishing animal sanctuaries, avoiding meat, rejecting products like leather and silk, and replacing animal labor with machines.

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of Buddhist ethics, particularly the Pañcasīla and the Five Mindfulness Trainings (FMT), as a moral and practical framework for addressing the global climate crisis. The research applies a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach, analyzing Buddhist texts, academic works, and prior studies on mindfulness and ecology. The findings highlight that Buddhist teachings stress the transformation of greed, hatred, and ignorance as the roots of ecological degradation. Five operational indicators are identified: ecological awareness through mindfulness, universal compassion, restraint of greed through simple living, intergenerational responsibility, and inner transformation toward sustainable behavior. The FMT reinforces these indicators with practical applications such as mindful consumption, nonviolent lifestyles, responsible communication, and ecological solidarity. The study concludes that Buddhism can be operationalized as a global ethic that guides lifestyle changes at both individual and community levels toward sustainability.

Abstract

In the modern era, marked by technological advancements, globalization, and increasing life pressures, human beings often experience a disorientation of values and a loss of life’s meaning. Progress in science and technology has indeed made life easier, but it has also brought negative effects such as stress, anxiety, social alienation, and existential crises. In such circumstances, spiritual awareness becomes essential as a tool to balance the inner needs of human beings with worldly achievements. Spiritual awareness is not only related to religion, but also encompasses human relationships with noble values such as compassion, peace, self-awareness, and a deeper sense of meaning in life. It is closely connected with the awareness of life’s purpose and the relationship with something greater than oneself. Cultivating spiritual awareness helps individuals become more reflective, more resilient to stress, and more caring toward others.

Abstract

Pilgrimage is the center of Buddhist Doctrine. Walking on an outer pilgrimage also reflects an inner pilgrimage; it brings out a new identity and connects through the Buddhist doctrine. Dr. Ambedkar completed the Spiritual Pilgrimage one week before his death, as said by Buddha in the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta, clearly showing how important pilgrimage is, and it connects with an important chapter in the revival of the Buddhist Culture of India. Here, the missing link of Dr. Ambedkar being unwell, still with the zeal, compassion, mindfulness, and energy, completed the spiritual journey at four major places associated with the Life of Buddha, which has not been known by followers and admirers on a larger scale in the present generation. This incredible and transformative journey is highlighted in this study. The methodology used in this research is based on Pali Literature and Travelogue details, which define the importance of Buddhist pilgrimage. The exclusive result is to walk on the path of the Buddha prescribed through his teachings by taking a lifetime initiative to attend the mindful pilgrimage, which leads to spiritual self-development and self-actualization. Through this Cultural Study, more people who have faith in Dr. Ambedkar's contribution will walk on the path and get connected to the teachings of Buddha. Such a pristine and transforming Pilgrimage by an esteemed personality who has uplifted the masses carries history along with him, which needs to be re-understood with the help of Pāli literature and Buddhist Culture.

Abstract

As religious traditions are called to address the climate crisis, the impact of food systems is often overlooked. A plant-based diet (vegetarianism) emerges as a critical ecological action, yet it requires deep spiritual grounding in Indonesia. This article argues that this grounding is found within Mahayana Buddhist ecotheology through the ideal of the Bodhisattva. Using a qualitative case study method, this research examines Keluarga Buddhayana Indonesia (KBI). Data were collected through in-depth interviews and digital observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis guided by the hermeneutic spiral. The findings reveal how the Bodhisattva path rooted in the principles of ahiṃsā (non-harming), paṭiccasamuppāda (dependent origination), and karuṇā (active compassion), provides a compelling ethical basis for vegetarianism. This study concludes that the practice can be framed as an authentic expression of faith and an embodiment of the Bodhisattva's vow to liberate all beings from suffering.

Abstract

Buddhism has seven noble concepts of wealth that can lead its followers to true happiness. However, these seven noble riches are not only in the form of material or abundant possessions. This qualitative research using literature study will examine the seven noble riches in Buddhism. The data analysis technique uses content analysis by sorting things according to the focus and objectives of the research. This research resulted in the following findings of seven noble riches in Buddhism: (1) saddhā, namely belief in the Tiratana, namely Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha; (2) sīla, namely the signs of an action leading to liberation (nibbana); (3) hiri, namely being ashamed of doing evil things such as killing, stealing, committing immoral acts, lying, slandering, speaking harshly, speaking uselessly, and others; (4) ottapa, namely feeling horrified and afraid of the consequences of committing evil acts; (5) bāhusacca, namely remembering a lot of dhamma and understanding many useful things; (6) cāga, namely being willing to let go, abandon and share things with people who need them; and (7) paññā, namely wisdom resulting from experience, reasoning, and knowledge. Even though a person is poor in possessions or material things, if he has these seven noble riches, then he can be said to be a truly rich person.

Abstract

Cadre development for Buddhist lay leaders plays a crucial role in sustaining the transmission of the Dhamma; however, empirical studies integrating such programs with canonical Buddhist teachings remain limited. This study examines the Cadre development of prospective Upāsaka/Upāsikā Anu Pandita (U.A.P.) in the Indonesian Buddhayana Council (MBI) of West Java from the perspective of the Dutiyaupaṭṭhākasutta and the Maṅgalasutta. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving administrators, organizers, and participants. The findings indicate that participants’ engagement is driven not merely by instrumental motivations but by spiritual aspirations, reflected in viriya (diligent effort), sustained commitment, and active participation in practicing the Dhamma. The program also enhances participants’ ability to deliver Dhamma teachings in a structured and contextually relevant manner, while strengthening their role as upaṭṭhāka (lay attendants) characterized by service, responsibility, and ethical alignment. This study contributes to Buddhist studies by proposing a conceptual understanding of Cadre development as a process of lay spiritual cultivation grounded in canonical teachings, bridging empirical findings and normative doctrines within contemporary Buddhayana practice.

Abstract

In Buddhist religious practice, Javanese chanting is a manifestation of local cultural adaptation and an essential means of upholding Buddha Dharma within the community. In order to maintain the continuity of Buddha Dharma at Buddhayana Temple, this research seeks to investigate the function of Javanese Chanting as a legacy of the Buddhayana spirit. A case study methodology was used in the descriptive qualitative research. The interactive model of Miles and Huberman was used to analyze the data, which were gathered via interviews, observation, and documentation. This model consists of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results demonstrate that Javanese Chanting is more than just a ritual; it is also a cultural and spiritual means of promoting faith (saddhā), aiding in the comprehension of Buddhist teachings, maintaining the use of the Javanese language in religious practice, and promoting social cohesion among members of the Buddhist community. Additionally, the practice mirrors the Buddhayana spirit by being inclusive and flexible in response to local culture, serving as a kind of upāya-kauśalya in preserving the continuity and relevance of Buddha Dharma in today's world. By illustrating how local knowledge may aid in the preservation of religious customs in a diverse environment, this research advances the conversation about religion and culture.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of meditation, social association, and self-control (sīla) on Online Gambling Addiction Reduction in the digital era, drawing upon principles from the Sigalovada Sutta and the Visuddhimagga. A structural equation modeling approach is employed to examine the relationships among these variables. The findings indicate that meditation has a significant positive effect on Online Gambling Addiction Reduction, as reflected by a high beta coefficient. Furthermore, self-control serves as a strong mediating variable in the relationship between meditation and the reduction of gambling addiction, while social association also contributes positively, albeit to a lesser extent. These results support key Buddhist teachings that emphasize moral discipline and the importance of supportive social environments in mitigating addictive behaviors. Notably, the findings suggest that internal mechanisms particularly self-awareness and emotional regulation developed through meditation play a more critical role in resisting gambling impulses than external influences alone. Overall, this study highlights meditation and self-control as central pillars in Online Gambling Addiction Reduction and offers important theoretical and practical implications for developing more effective intervention strategies in the context of behavioral addiction.

Abstract

This study examines the religious meaning of the Chinese New Year (Imlek) tradition among the Chinese community in Pontianak from the perspective of the Siṅgāla Sutta and the Maṅgala Sutta. While Imlek is commonly understood as a cultural tradition, empirical studies that interpret it through canonical Buddhist teachings remain limited. This research aims to analyze how Imlek practices reflect ethical and spiritual values within Buddhist teachings. A qualitative ethnographic approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis involving community leaders, religious figures, and participants in Imlek celebrations. The findings indicate that, although Imlek is explicitly perceived as a cultural tradition, its practices embody implicit religious values. Social activities such as family gatherings, respect for elders, and communal participation reflect relational ethics consistent with the Siṅgāla Sutta. Meanwhile, practices such as almsgiving, sharing (angpao), and expressions of gratitude demonstrate moral and spiritual values aligned with the Maṅgala Sutta. The study reveals that Imlek can be understood as a form of culturally embedded religious practice, where Buddhist teachings are internalized through social and symbolic expressions rather than formal doctrinal articulation. This research contributes to Buddhist studies by proposing a sutta-based analytical framework to interpret local cultural practices, thereby bridging empirical traditions and canonical teachings in contemporary Buddhayana contexts.
