Buddhism often appears to
promote personal transformation at the expense of social concern. Some Buddhist
teachings claim that the mind does not just affect the world, it actually
creates and sustains it. According to this view, cosmic harmony is most
effectively preserved through an individual's spiritual practice. Yet other
Buddhists amend the notion that mind is the primary or exclusive source of
peace, contending that inner serenity is fostered or impeded by external
conditions. Buddhists who place importance upon social factors and social action
believe that internal transformation cannot, by itself, quell the world's
turbulence.
