INTRODUCTION TO BUDDHIST ETHICS
by Peter Harvey
This systematic introduction to Buddhist ethics is aimed at anyone interested in Buddhism, including students, scholars, and general readers. Peter Harvey is the author of acclaimed Introduction to Buddhism (Cambridge, 1990), and his new book is written in a clear style, assuming no prior knowledge. At the same time it develops a careful probing analysis of the nature and practical dynamics of Buddhist ethics in both its unifying themes and in the particularities of different Buddhist traditions. The book applies Buddhist ethics to a range of issues of contemporary concern: humanity's relationship with the rest of nature; economics; war and peace; euthanasia; abortion; the status of women; and homosexuality. Professor Harvey draws on texts of the main Buddhist traditions, and on historical and contemporary accounts of the behavior of Buddhists, to describe existing Buddhist ethics, to assess different views within it, and to extend its application into new areas.

BUDDHIST ETHICS: A Very Short Introduction
by Damien Keown
The latter half of the twentieth century witnessed a growing interest in Buddhism, adn it continues to capture the imagination of many in the West who see it as either an alternative or a supplement to their own religious beliefs. Numerous introductory books have appeared in recent years to cater to this growing interest, but almost none devotes attention to the specifically ethical dimensions of the tradition. Fpr various complex cultural and hostorical reasons, ethics has not received as much attention in traditionan Buddhist thought as it has in the West. Written by Damien Keown, one of the few experts worldwide who specializes in the area, Buddhist Ethics illustrates how Buddhism might approach a range of contemporary morals ranging from abortion to euthanasia, sexuality to cloning, and even war and economics.

CHOOSING SIMPLICITY: A Commentary on the Bhikshuni Pratimoksha
by Venerable Bhikshuni Master Wu Yin, trans. by Bhikshuni Jendy, ed. by Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron
Choosing Simplicity discusses the precepts and lifestyle of fully ordained nuns within the Buddhist tradition. The ordination vows act as guidelines to promote harmony both within the individual and within the community by regulating and thereby simplifying one's relationships to other sangha members and laypeople, as well as to the needs of daily life. Observing these precepts and practicing the Buddhadharma brings incredible benefit to oneself and others. Since the nuns' precepts include those for monks and have additional rules for nuns, this book is useful for anyone interested in monastic life.

THE TIBETAN VINAYA: Guide to Buddhist Conduct
by Ven. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, trans. by Sonam Palden & Chojor Radha
The Buddha taught the Vinaya to monks and nuns so that they had a set of rules allowing them to devote their complete energy to reaching enlightenment. The Buddha did not simply give these rules all at once--he gave them in response to particular situations. In his discussion of vows, Thrangu Rinpoche explains how and why vows have changed over time in different Buddhist cultures.
