| Summary: | Religion makes individuals more social friendly as its teachings mainly focus on social responsibilities. So, it is clear that practical aspects of the religions are common and social friendly. Yet in the modern world, conflict among the devotees of different religions can be seen very commonly. Purpose of this research is to understand the Buddhist approach on other religious believes and believers. Documentary study on Pāli Tipitaka is the method of data collecting and content analysis is used for data analysing in this research. Religion of a person can be defined as ones’ point of view on self and the world. Buddhist teachings name these views as "Dhitthi"―viewpoints. Buddhist literature shows that Buddha and his disciples followed a unique approach on other religious believes and believers. This approach is having characteristics, such as: understanding how that believes occur, identifying the similarities and differences between other believes and Buddhist teachings, not to be emotional even being criticized, giving freedom to explain their point of view, encouraging to be open-minded, giving freedom to decide, and giving interpretations to the concepts other believer knows. Buddhist approach on other religious believes and believers is having a unique characteristics. It never discriminates the other religious believes and believers, and condemns them. It has a clear vision. That is helping individuals to overcome suffering. For that identity is not needed. |
