Abstract

It can be claimed that morality is the main pillar and a common foundation for all human beings’ nature. Therefore, it is considered a common language for dialogue and comparison of capacities in different religions, which is studied under the name of moral system. This moral system includes some components and elements, of which ethical codes are the most important. The ethical code of Ahimsa is one of the most important principles in the moral system of Buddhism. Based on this principle, people should avoid harming living creatures, and if this principle is not observed, they will be afflicted with bad karma, which, according to the belief in reincarnation, will have a negative effect in their next lives. It can be argued that the most important effect of this ethical code is peace in the world, which is known as a principle for all human beings worldwide. Using descriptive-analytical method as well as drawing on religious sources, this article sheds light on the ethical code of Ahimsa and explains its components, conflicts and solutions.
