Abstract

 

 

In this article, I intend to bring out the distinctive features of Buddhist forgiveness
and reconciliation, springing from the specific spirituality and the underlying worldview
of living Buddhism in India and Asia. While there are similarities in forgiveness and
reconciliation between Christianity and Buddhism, there are many distinctions arising
from the divergent world-views not only of Christianity but also of Theravada and Mahayana.
These differences are found not only with regard to the presuppositions, but also in
reference to the motivation as well as the expression of forgiveness and reconciliation.
