Abstract
For more than 2000 years of presence in Vietnam, Buddhism has become one of the basic foundations of the national spiritual culture. With the teaching of compassion and wisdom, Buddhism was soon practiced and inclined to a good, compassionate, and altruistic lifestyle, contributing to establishing solidarity, consensus, stability, and progress in social life. Therefore, the author clarifies Buddhist ethical values in today’s social life in Vietnam, thereby proposing solutions to promote them to contribute to leading ethical, cultural, intellectual, and secure lifestyles for a good society.
