คำสำคัญ:
Loving-Kindness, Bodhisattvas, Mahayana Buddhismบทคัดย่อ
Loving-kindness (Maitrī) is a fundamental virtue in Mahayana Buddhism, particularly in the Bodhisattva path. The practice of loving-kindness is deeply rooted in the aspiration to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings, reflecting the selfless compassion that defines a Bodhisattva. This study explores the doctrinal foundations of loving-kindness in Mahayana texts, including the Lotus Sūtra, Avataṅsaka Sūtra, and Bodhisattvabhūmi, highlighting how the concept transcends mere emotional benevolence to encompass a profound commitment to universal liberation. The analysis also draws upon the teachings of influential Mahayana scholars such as Ācārya Śāntideva and Nagarjuna, who elaborated on the practical applications of loving-kindness in ethical conduct and meditative cultivation. Furthermore, this research examines contemporary interpretations and applications of loving-kindness in modern Buddhist practice. By synthesizing scriptural, philosophical, and practical perspectives, this study aims to deepen the understanding of loving-kindness as a transformative force in the Bodhisattva’s journey towards enlightenment.
