| 摘要 | Buddhist ethics are generally based on the principals of loving kindness and compassion towards all beings. Compassion is known as karuṇā in Pali and in Sanskrit. In fact, karuṇā is understood to cultivate compassionate emotional feeling towards other pitiable beings. The object of karuṇā is pitiable beings. When one feels pity towards others wishing them to be free from pain and suffering, it is known as the feeling of compassion. The nature of karuṇā will be explained in the section of the Nature of Karuṇā in this paper. It is a direct antidote to cruelty. It is said that ‘the direct enemy of metta is anger and that of karuṇā is cruelty’. These four principles are attitudes toward other beings. There is an interconnection among all these brahmanviharas. One should practice them extending them towards an immeasurable number of sentient beings. Therefore, it is also called the four immeasurable. Buddhist ethics are explained as developing one’s mental faculties of loving-kindness towards others. It is a sort of feeling of friendliness towards all beings, where one is wishing prosperity, happiness, success and sound health to others without any attachment. This is known as loving-kindness. In terms of the meaning of metta, Buddhagosha in Visuddhimagga states, ‘it comes about with respect to a friend or it is behavior towards a friend; thus, it is loving kindnesses. Buddha gave teachings of loving-kindness in the context of anger. Anger or hatred is recognized as one of the roots of dukkha or pain and of the suffering of all beings. Metta is a direct antidote to anger. In loving kindness meditation, it is stated that ‘the direct enemy of metta is anger’. |
