AB - The ultimate goal of this study is to alleviate the attitudes of discrimination and hatred toward sexual minorities that appear in our society. To this end, we first look at the gender perception that appears in the Buddhism. It can be considered through a deterministic or compatibilist perspective on suffering. Next, we discuss perspectives on sexual minorities and attitudes toward them within Buddhism, that is, Buddhist ethics toward sexual minorities. Buddhist ethics cautions against committing sexual misconduct but does not deny sexual desire itself. Additionally, Buddhist sexual ethics are strictly applied to monks, while they are applied flexibly to laypeople. Furthermore, based on the fact that Buddhist ethics has a consequentialist nature, we propose that the modern significance of Buddhist ethics for sexual minorities is ‘equal consideration of suffering’ based on the ‘the principle of equal consideration of interests’.
