?Nobody Can Separate One Another? - Implementing the Buddhist Theory of Dependent Origination for a Peaceful Co-existence

Samantha Ilangakoon

Abstract: In the modern world one of the main issues that require urgent and complete answers is the conflict among nationals and religions. This has become the main threat to the global peaceful environment and co-existence. There is no question of loving ones own religion or nationality because they represent ones identity among the others. One becomes so special among the others because of his/her particular language or faith. To view this position from anthropologically, the human culture is a production of both nationality and religion. Even in modern culture both of them play very important parts to integrate individuals. However the problem arises when keeping the identities among diversities. To understand the reality of this question and to have a right view on this there should be an intellectual as well as a rational outlook. Unlike in the past the modern youth is well equipped with the knowledge of science, technology and rational thinking. This is the time to enlighten them for a global co-existence. In other word to show the world the way to keep the identity while accepting diversity.
