Abstract

In Buddhism there is no institute which establishes ethical code. On brain death and organ transplantation, we find various views in scholars and several doctrines in Buddhist sects, as they stress on special texts among Eighty-four thousand dharma-paryaya (Buddha's teachings). But philosophers or religious people today are, besides being absorbed in idea or dogma, expected to show realistic guiding principle on this problem. In this paper, after consulting the discussions in Japanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies (Committee Investigating the Organ-Transplant Problems) and movements in the traditional buddhist denomination, I tried to propose some concrete guide, such as "Ten Commandments for bio-ethics".
