Buddhist socialism

Buddhist socialism is a political ideology which advocates socialism based on the principles of Buddhism. Both Buddhism and socialism seek to provide an end to suffering by analyzing its conditions and removing its main causes through praxis. Both also seek to provide a transformation of personal consciousness (respectively, spiritual and political) to bring an end to human alienation and selfishness.[1]

People who have been described as Buddhist socialists include Buddhadasa Bhikkhu,[2] B. R. Ambedkar,[3] S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike[citation needed], Han Yong-un,[4] Girō Senoo,[5] U Nu[citation needed], Uchiyama Gudō,[6] Inoue Shūten, Norodom Sihanouk,[7][8] Takagi Kenmyo[9] and Peljidiin Genden.[10]
