The question applies both to the violation of basic rights in Buddhist countries and to the defence of those rights which are well-grounded in Buddhist teachings. The volume provides academic essays that reflect this up to now rather neglected issue from the point of view of the three main Buddhist traditions, Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. It provides multi-faceted and surprising insights into a rather unlikely relationship. 330 1 $a»[The] transdisciplinary, transcultural, and transreligious approach is the strong point of this book.« Gudula Linck, Internationales Asienforum, 3-4 (2011) 410 4$aDer Mensch Im Netz der Kulturen - Humanismus in der Epoche der Globalisierung / Being Human: Caught in the Web of Cultures - Humanism in the Age of Globalization 606 $aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism 610 $aBuddhism 610 $aHuman Rights 610 $aIntercultural Studies 610 $aCultural Clash 610 $aBurma 610 $aThailand 610 $aChina 610 $aTibet 610 $aHuman 610 $aReligion 610 $aReligious Studies 610 $aSociology of Religion 610 $aAsia 615 0$aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xBuddhism. 676 $a294.337 700 $aMeinert$b Carmen$4edt$01168326 702 $aMeinert$b Carmen 702 $aZo?llner$b Hans-Bernd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308826903316 996 $aBuddhist approaches to human rights$93583228 997 $aUNISA
