But evil is an absolute term, and there are no absolutes in Buddhism.

What are Buddhism claims about evil?
The dichotomy of good and evil is not as pronounced in Buddhism as it is in many deity based religions where the god sets out what is right or wrong. As consequence the difference is in each person's ability to skillfully navigate the temptations that induce them to desire more than they require. This desire ultimately causes them pain and suffering and prolongs their cycling through death and rebirth.Many religions claim that people are inherently evil, or at least wrong headed and only the deity can lead them to "salvation". Buddhism sees each person as having an inherent Buddha nature capable of following the Buddha's Eightfold Path. This will, by their own efforts, lead them to enlightenment.
