That is the social nature of the world in not killing Buddhism, properly understood in its broad sense. regard the world not steal too.

The first is financial giving, ie help the needy of material goods such as clothing, food and drink, housing, medication, money, etc. ... appeared in the value of not in place for more or less that are mostly in place for use of the center, because compassion, true compassion, the compassion that is deeply sympathize with all the misery of fellow human beings of that commitment divide said. Besides love, empathy with the suffering and misfortune of all beings, of all people, Buddhists also hone petal heart attitude that is willing to share the joy with everyone they birth, people, and most do not mind letting go of clinging, no problems whatever. So even though the form of alms is how wealth is generosity, or legal alms (experimental approach), Buddhists only motive that inspires compassion that is, as said petal. Another factor promoting the Buddhist practice of giving not perform the mental fatigue. With the eyes of wisdom, Buddhists do not see the difference between her and the people, all living beings.

Whether ordained or in part, the Buddhist bodhisattva austerities will maintain that stance. Buddhist ideal of self-propelled Bodhisattva ideal society is a most beautiful, beyond all requirements social doctrine of the most progressive of all time. It is wrong, too wrong to criticize Buddhism advocates a passive lifestyle, personal and selfish. And so, the Buddhist virtue of social institutions mean huge. possible to mention here the moral precepts of Buddhism, has great social significance, and has been said to the Buddha during his lifetime in that, as is typical of the virtues of the Buddhists: A.
