Abstract

The paper elucidates some deep philosophical principles underlying the mechanism of formation of Buddhist ethics. The author demonstrates that the view of ethics in Buddhism is deeply connected with the understanding of the true nature of the being. This is due to the specific, ontological interpretation of the concept of suffering in Buddhism, the only way of overcoming which is the realization of philosophy of «emptiness» or «non-ego».
