Abstract
An integration of dispute mediation and resolution by Buddhist peaceful means aims to defend rights while also helping the public with legal aspects and law enforcement. Sārāṇīyadhamma (six states of conciliation) is aligned with dispute mediation and resolution, which can be used as a development framework or to foster the potential development of dispute mediators. In particular, in dispute mediation, one should create an atmosphere suitable for negotiation, acknowledge and listen to the other side of the conflicting party, propose solutions, exchange opinions on misunderstandings whether from sending or receiving information, help both sides of the conflicting party and all sides to come to a mutual agreement and restore good relations. Sārāṇīyadhamma is the Buddhist peaceful means of conflict resolution, designed to help people in society build affection and unity, and resolve conflicts and problems. It also cultivates the ability to maintain reason, accept diversity in cultures, views, and beliefs, and be prepared to live together peacefully. This is the source for happiness and prosperity in society. As a result, it serves as a constructive guideline for avoiding potential problems or disputes.
