Buddhism, Human Rights and Social Renewal

by Nalin Swaris

The radical elements of early Buddhism have now been submerged by dominant social values... Yet canonical works clearly indicate that the first Buddhists raised a banner of revolt against caste, priestcraft, tyranny and social injustice. This submerged tradition can be recovered and revivified. It can provide inspiration for Buddhists and others who are committed to social renewal and creation of just and humane society.
