Meditation in Action
Buddhism
often appears to promote personal transformation at the expense of
social concern. Some Buddhist teachings claim that the mind does not
just affect the world, it actually creates and sustains it. According to
this view, cosmic harmony is most effectively preserved through an
individual's spiritual practice. Yet other Buddhists amend the notion
that mind is the primary or exclusive source of peace, contending that
inner serenity is fostered or impeded by external conditions. Buddhists
who place importance upon social factors and social action believe that
internal transformation cannot, by itself, quell the world's turbulence.
