What Are the Virtues of Hinduism and Buddhism? 6-26-2010

 I am completely at sea here. I assume justice and charity are recognized as virtues, like with western religions. No idea how they define these virtues. No guesses at other virtues.

[And Google negates and highlights my ignorance.

Buddhist ethics (Wikipedia) :

 Buddhist ethics are traditionally based on what Buddhists view as the enlightened perspective of the Buddha.[1] The term for ethics or morality used in Buddhism is Śīla or sīla (Pāli). Śīla in Buddhism is one of three sections of the Noble Eightfold Path, and is a code of conduct that embraces a commitment to harmony and self-restraint with the principal motivation being nonviolence, or freedom from causing harm. It has been variously described as virtue,[2] moral discipline[3] and precept

I also found, and may come back later, the following: Ethics in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism and Buddhist Ethics: Ten Virtues and Non-Virtues.

As for Hinduism: Upholding virtues and Hindu Ethics.

The queeries used were "Hinduism virtue ethics"  and "Buddhism virtue ethics". sch 12/19/22.]
