Family Violence Management in Integrative Buddhist Perspective

Abstract

This article suggests that the management of family violence in terms of prevention, resolution and therapy through Buddhist integration is a desirable goal for families in today’s era of globalization. The study finds that families in the same global village can live together in peace, and with understanding, sympathy and the absence of physical and mental violence through: acceptance of personal responsibility according to individual family status; the cultivation of loving kindness, compassion, and tenderness; and mutual assistance based on good communication and the understanding of sexual needs and expectations. These techniques can contribute at least a partial resolution to one of today's urgent social problems.
