摘要
This research article aims to explore the prime causes of conflict and its resolution with special reference to Mahānidānasutta and other relevant discourses. The methodology of this research article is qualitative approach. Every human being faces with the problems in the life time. Here the problem refers to the conflicts or suffering which were included in part of life. The Mahānidānasutta came from dialogue between the Buddha and his disciple Ananda, in conversation, Ven. Ananda said that depentorigination is too easy to understand but the Buddha reply to him it was totally wrong, as dependent origination was not easy to understand because depend origination is a key principle of Buddhist teachings which states that all the Buddha teachings arise in dependence upon other “if this exists, that exists; if this ceases to exist, that also ceases to exist”. The Buddha used the principle of Dependent Origination to understand human suffering and how to bring that suffering to an end. According to the principle, if suffering depends on something, and that thing is eliminated, the suffering will come to an end. The Buddha understood the causes and conditions of suffering and how to remove them. It is with this insight that the Buddha could then teach a path to liberation. The study shows that five categories of areas mainly have occurred the conflicts as root causes and finds resolutions as much as possible.
