Abstract: Buddha in its entirety consists of the Dhamma and Vinaya. In other words, the Dhamma, or the docrine, and the Vinaya , or the discipline make the whole of Buddhist ethics. The Dhamma deals with the ideals and principles, whereas the Vinaya deals with rules and circumstances in which these ideals and principles are practised and realised. Ethicization of human deed( karma), mental, vocal and bodily is the primary concern of the Buddha and his followers, because only through it man can favourably regulate the moral causality........
