Sommario/riassunto |
|
This thesis examines the doctrinal grounds and different approaches to working out this ""new Buddhist tradition,"" a startling contrast to the teachings of non-violence and compassion which have made Buddhism known as a religion of peace. In scores of articles as war approached in 1936-37, new monks searched and reinterpreted scripture, making controversial arguments for ideas like ""compassionate killing"" which would justify participating in war. |
