Concept information
Preferred term
Buddhist law
Definition(s)
- Buddhist law is a multifaceted term that may be used in reference to a number of areas, including (a) the Buddha's doctrine (Dharma), (b) monastic codes of behavior and discipline (vinaya), and (c) legalistic characteristics in societies that have been influenced by Buddhist concepts of jurisprudence. Therefore, when discussing Buddhist law, a distinction can be made between purely legalistic forms and nonlegalistic forms. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Buddhist Law]
