This section provides links to the works of a leading Buddhist monk, Venerable P.A. Payutto, which deal with society's ills within a Buddhist framework. There are Buddhist perspectives on other major issues such as globalisation, the constructive use of technology, Buddhism and the Echocrisis, and a contribution from His Holiness, the Dalai Lama on Universal Responsibility and the Environment. On a positive note, there is a article by the well-known Buddhist writer, Venerable Dr. Sri Dhammananda on Buddhism and the Future.
