APPLICATION OF BUDDHA DHAMMA PRINCIPLES FOR ERADICATING CONFLICTS IN HUMAN SOCIETY

Abstract

The objectives of this academic article included: (1) to study the cause of conflicts; (2) to study the advantages and disadvantages of conflicts; and (3) to eradicate the conflicts by applying Buddha Dhamma principles. Humans are a social animal; they are parts of the society and parts of the product from mutual association of people in the society. Humans can survive in the society if only they depend on a biological factor and other factors for responding their own needs. Therefore, needs or requirements were directly related to conflicts. Benefits or needs were distinctly regarded as causal factors leading to an external conflict specially the method of limited resource management whereas there were a large number of people who need those resources. If the limited resources failed to be systematically managed, it could be the cause of the conflicts. Application of Buddha Dhamma principles for eradicating conflicts in human society is, thus, necessary and it is the most appropriate way to make the human society be peaceful.
