Abstract

In the past, Thailand has always been through conflict crises, whether social conflicts, beliefs, religions, cultures, or political conflicts. This research aimed to study the approach to alleviating conflicts and creating reconciliation with Buddhist principles based on the concept of Phra Paisan Visalo by using qualitative research from document analysis and interviews with Phra Phaisan Visalo, as well as scholars with knowledge of Buddhist principles. The research results revealed that the concept of Phra Paisan Visalo is a concept that uses the method of “peaceful means” and the technique of “ahimsa” to be used in conjunction with the principles of dharma. Both are based on peaceful concepts of non-violence in problem-solving and are often used to consider reality using the three principles of morality, concentration, and wisdom. It also requires a passive vision, the principle of tolerance, patience, and the proactive concept of unity, and the basic idea of the 4th Brahma Vihara is benevolence.
