“…The word in ancient India and in the Buddhist canon means 'creatures that crawl on their bellies'. 44 It was also used to depict bestial conduct by the colonial rulers and by the retaliation by the local villagers who killed French Resident Bardez. 45 Such beasts, like fathers who rape their daughters, have no incest taboo and thus have sex with their offspring.…”

This article discusses the underpinnings of impunity and justice in Cambodia as the former Khmer Rouge leaders face trial in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). The extent to which the ECCC achieves its goal can only be assessed by understanding the concept of impunity from a Cambodian cultural perspective. In this ethnographic study, the cultural construction of justice is thus examined. The ECCC defendants and those who commit violence today seem to use a similar cultural framework to explain their crimes and expiate them from accountability. Any discussion of accountability, which is the Janus-face of impunitywhether at the ECCC trials or in the public arena todaywill show how perpetrators conform to certain embedded Cambodian beliefs while failing to conform to others. The findings add to our understanding of the cultural footprint of evil and impunity and have implications for attempts to respond to the call for a 'bespoke' form of transitional justice and for a culturally responsive approach to health and human rights.

Corporate Nirvana: The Buddhist way to social sustainability and business innovation

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Prevailing consumption‐based business models and capitalist practices place significant strain on the environment and society. Buddhism, as a practicing religion, may provide insights on practicing models as a solution to sustain society, the environment, and businesses. The present investigation adopts a structured literature review methodology to take stock of such prior studies and articulate its representation of Buddhism‐based business models, practices, ethical frameworks, and economic views. Based on the findings, it is clear that the prior studies have discussed the practitioner context of Buddhism religion in order to promote ethical and mindful business practices at the consumer, managerial, and business levels; to reduce the negative effects of identity politics in the workplace through spirituality; to introduce the idea of considering factors other than purely financial profitability; and to encourage the long‐term viability and genuine happiness of individuals, communities, and organizations. In relation to these topics, research avenues are proposed.

The Globalization of Knowledge in History

The Evolution of Knowledge

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This volume presents results of an interdisciplinary research project on the globalization of knowledge. The project is centered at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. It was launched in 2007 at the 97 th Dahlem Workshop on Globalization of Knowledge and its Consequences, a Dahlem Conference hosted by the Free University Berlin and supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The Dahlem Conferences, with their unique mode of scholarly interaction, have played a key role in fostering an interdisciplinary cooperation that covers a vast array of disciplines, cultures and historical periods. I am grateful to Katharina Ochse, as well as to my colleagues from the Advisory Board of the Dahlem Conferences, for initiating us into the procedures of this workshop model. The numerous documents, papers, commentaries, reviews and discussion statements that have been produced in the process have all turned out to be essential in producing this volume.The project is part of the research program of a historical epistemology whose aim is to contribute also to the reflexivity of present science and its institutions. It pursues a comparative history of knowledge in which present processes of globalization are conceived as the outcome of historical developments and their interactions. The four research foci of the project have been chosen such that theoretical claims can be validated with reference to outstanding historical phases in which knowledge production, transmission and transformation were critical for advancing processes of intercultural exchange. The theoretical framework developed in the course of the project comprises a core set of concepts which should be extended and revised in the course of further research.The scholarly network, established in 2007, has since been significantly expanded. The participating scholars have collaborated in a variety of meetings and exchanges dedicated to the production of this working group volume. In addition to the papers originally submitted at the Dahlem Conference, a number of invited contributions have been integrated. All contributions have been peer-reviewed and also partly revised by members of an internal board, which met on several occasions to discuss the overall results of the cooperation and their presentation in the introductory survey chapters to each of the four parts of this volume. The internal board comprised

Abstract: In spite of the modern idea that Buddhism is too rational a religion to have a conception of hell, the case is just the opposite. Th e Buddhists promoted this idea very early.
