It is difficult to think of a more urgent question for Buddhism in the late twentieth century than human rights. The political, ethical and philosophical questions surrounding human rights are debated vigorously in political and intellectual circles throughout the world and now in this volume.

Damien Keown (Goldsmiths College, University of London) and Charles S. Prebish (State University of Pennsylvania) are the founding editors of the Journal of Buddhist Ethics which sponsored the conference on human rights at which the papers published herein were first presented. Wayne Husted (State University of Pennsylvania) is Technical Editor of the Journal.
