This book explores dilemmas that Buddhism faces in relation to the
continuing ethnic conflict and violence in contemporary Sri Lanka.
Using an interdisciplinary approach, prominent scholars in the
fields of anthropology, history, Buddhist studies and Pali examine
multiple dimensions of the problem. Buddhist responses to the
crisis are discussed in detail, along with how Buddhism can help to
create peace in Sri Lanka. Evaluating the role of Buddhists and
their institutions in bringing about an end to war and violence as
well as possibly heightening the problem, this collection puts
forward a critical analysis of the religious conditions
contributing to continuing hostilities.
