What is/are major Buddhist view(s) on euthanasia, as well as other similar ethical subjects?
Answer Hi Daniel, Thank you for asking me. I must apologize for the delayed response as I am still having the virus problem in my PC. I must first comment on the Buddhist perspective of the type of “religion” that the Buddha introduced. Once this is done, your questions will all be considered answered. The Buddha encouraged his followers to analyze his teachings before accepting them. He advised them not to accept anything in blind faith. Only if it is wholesome and good, for the benefit of all, and conducive to the spiritual welfare of all, do we accept and follow. Buddhists are always reminded that before accepting any instruction, they must carefully observe and analyze, by using their human intelligence and common sense. From the above premise, you can agree that Buddhists are encouraged to think for themselves. We are not slaves to our religion. We are masters of our religion. Buddhism can withstand the “progress” of new scientific discoveries because Buddhist teachings are based
