Detachment and Compassion in Early Buddhism, by Elizabeth J. Harris (2005; 12pp./36KB) bl141_en.pdf (??pages/137KB)

The development of these twin emotions plays a central role in Buddhist practice. But are they truly compatible? How can one feel genuine compassion toward others while simultaneously remaining detached and “aloof” from the world? Citing examples from the Pali canon and its commentaries, the author demonstrates how the two are, in fact, mutually supportive.

Violence and Disruption in Society: A Study of the Early Buddhist Texts, by Elizabeth J. Harris (1994; 39pp./117KB)

This essay explores the roots of violence in human society, and reveals how the Buddhist teachings of non-violence are just as applicable today as they were in the Buddha's day.
