Abstract | Some years ago, Buddhism was growing and attracting many people across the world for the philosophy it had to offer. But such interest has been tarnished by the protracted ethnonational violence seen in many prominent Buddhist states. This short paper argues that Buddhist societies have fallen victim of the global trend of consumption and ownership. Such attachments are primarily expressed in Buddhist nationalism and ethnic protectionism. Paper urges for a transethnic identity amongst Buddhists that would enable Buddhism as an alternative worldview and working model for some of the urgent global issues beyond a given national or ethnic boundary. |
