In Buddha religion household responsibilities
are to be equally split between the man and woman in marriage. Some of the
duties in Buddhism is running the family business or negotiating sales with
neighbors. Men role in Buddhism is to respect their wives as partners and
friends, not slaves to be commanded. Its with great love and respect that a man
should treat his wife, not with anger or hatred
Another role of men is to be
Buddhist monks. They engage in Buddhist way of life that they dedicate their
lives to following The Four Noble Truths and five precepts to the letter. They
also adopt additional code of conduct known as the Vinaya, which provides more
specific instructions on how to live rather than general philosophies. Another
role of men is to take a vow of celibacy upon entering into their agreement.
While this is taking place certain monks refuse to even have contact with women
at all.
I feel the role of men in Buddhism is just following rules as to how to
do thing. Also I feel in Buddhism you have to make commitments and sacrifices,
but I like that in the religion men and women are seen as equal and this is not
the case in other religions.
