Generally speaking, the world today is plagued by various kinds of conflicts: ethnic, racial, religious and ideological. Terrorism appears to reign supreme in many countries. War is not just a threat; it is a continuing actuality all over the globe. The use of nuclear power in war is a worldwide anxiety. Lawlessness and misappropriation of various kinds are prevalent today to an unprecedented degree. The mass media are replete with distressing news about pickpocketing, bribery, smuggling, organized robbery, blackmailing, hijacking, etc. Incest and rape, too, raise their ugly heads with unprecedented frequency. Sexual abuse of children within the family circle is so common. False speech, alcoholism and drug abuse are burning social problems of modern society. In this ugly scenario Buddhist practice of Sīla can be a helpful instrument to reduce these vices.
