This paper first explores the conceptual foundation of business ethics as defined currently in the mainstream western business world. In the second section, an ethical system comprising meta-ethical values and pragmatic ethical practices is constructed from the perspective of Humanistic Buddhism. Business ethics are then discussed as an integral part of this Humanistic Buddhism's interpretation of ethics. Finally, the paper addresses the possibility of constructing universal business ethics from the aforementioned conceptual framework of Buddhist ethics.
