Buddhist peaceful means for resolving current social conflicts

Abstract

This article aims to examine the significance, context, and key aspects of Santivādhi Ways, which are contemporary conflict resolution strategies in Thai society grounded in Buddhist principles. Thought-provoking points will be deliberated upon—a set of Buddhist Peace Method principles that adhere to coexistence and mutual dependence tenets. Society exists in harmony when conflict is absent. Integrated dhamma principles include: 1) An examination of The Four Noble Truths to identify the underlying causes of conflict, conflict resolution techniques and two additional dhamma principles to supplement the analysis. 2) Brahmavihrdhamma 4 and 3) Saraṇiyadhamma 6 contribute to resolving disputes in pursuit of the sustainable and harmonious cohabitation of society.
