The abduction and non-return of the schoolgirls provides a poignant illustration of the pervasive, global problem of discrimination and violence against girls and women, including abductions and trafficking, in every region of the world (Save the Children, 2013).

It offers a Buddhist perspective on the causes of human suffering, conflict, and violence, and the contributions Buddhism can make to their solution. Commonalities between Buddhism and peace psychology are found in the realm of engaged Buddhism with its focus on reforming our relationship with each other and with the ecological world.

In combination, pursuing self-enlightenment and taking social responsibility for the well-being of others and for the world are essential aspects of the Buddhist path to peace. The Lotus Sutra, one of the most widely read and revered of the Mahayana Buddhist teachings, contains the essence of the Buddha’s lifetime teachings and will likely become an important guide in the 21st Century for a peaceful coexistence. Nichiren stated, “The heart of the Lotus Sutra is the revelation that one may attain supreme enlightenment in one’s present form without altering one’s status as an ordinary person. This means that without casting aside one’s karmic impediments, one can still attain the Buddha way” (p. 410). This presentation examines the wisdom of the three main messages of the Lotus Sutra: (1) the dignity of all life, (2) the diversity of all life, and (3) the profound interdependence of all life. From the perspective of Buddhism and psychological science, these principles offer an alternative view of self and other that hold promise for bringing humanity together and contributing to a peaceful world.

It takes a sweeping, broad-brush approach to the extremely complex subject of Buddhism’s history, emphasizing the growth of theories with shared commonalities between the two disciplines. The chapter presents Buddhist doctrine, practice, and a short review of the most well known Buddhist systems including Theravada and Mahayana, and Vipassana, Tibetan, Zen, and Nichiren. Practices such as mindfulness meditation, Tara Ropka therapy and chanting are also reviewed. Finally, an analysis of Buddhism as it is practiced in the West today is presented, with its implications for psychological praxis.

Two independent stratified random samples (N = 801 and N = 241) consisting of undergraduate and graduate women (61%) and men (39%)—predominantly of color—averaging 29 years of age completed the Sense of Community Index (SCI; Perkins, Florin, Rich, Wandersman, & Chavis, 1990). During the first assessment there was an external threat to the university community that was not present 20 months later during the second assessment. In this cross-sectional design, an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed support for the hypothesis that SOC would be higher when a threat was present than when it was absent ( p < .01). © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
