This paper aims to discuss the implementation of social welfare policies based on Buddhist teachings, such as the symbiosis (living together) concept, for resolving modern society’s welfare issues. Contemporary social welfare was originally developed and institutionalized in accordance with Western principles; therefore, this paper also seeks to examine the potentiality of constructing a new welfare system based on Buddhist values.
One of the major characteristics of the Buddhist symbiosis (living together) concept is that it transcends the conventional idea according to which people belonging to the same era live together harmoniously. It embraces all creatures and living things, thus enabling life itself to be sustained from the past to the future. Using this concept as the foundation of its argument, this paper highlights social welfare ideals and views on charity according to Buddhist principles.
