ABOUT THE VIDEO

What is ethics for? The answer could vary depending on one’s worldview. In simple terms, we can define ethics as human efforts to construct environments that enable all beings to flourish and lead a decent life. What defines decency, though, and how do we resolve the inevitable conflicts that arise on the path of creating decent living environments? This presentation considers the minimal factors that can aid us in conceptualizing and practicing ethics in our times, drawing from foundational Buddhist teachings.
