佛教与社会福祉
那些认为佛教只对高超的思想,高尚的道德和哲学思想感兴趣,而忽视了任何人的社会和经济利益是极大的错误!佛十分关心人的幸福和安康。依他看来,离开了以道德、精神原则为基础的纯生活方式,人的幸福和快乐就无从谈起。可是他也知道,在不良的物质和社会环境下,要引导这样的生活是困难的。——罗睺罗《佛陀的启示》
Buddhism and social
welfare
Those who think
that Buddhism is interested only in lofty ideals,high moral and
philosophical thought,and ignores any social and economic welfare
of people,are wrong. The Buddha was interested in the happiness
of men. To him happiness was not possible without leading a pure
life based on moral and spiritual principles,But he knew that leading
such a life was hard in unfavourable material and social conditions. ~Ven.
