Abstract
The concepts of pacifism and nonviolence, though found throughout the prominent sacred texts and teachings of Christianity and Buddhism, tend to be viewed in modern religious expression as optional at best. Most adherents of Christianity and Buddhism do not hold to the concept of pacifism and nonviolence. Firstly, this dissertation will look at both Christianity and Buddhism to see if the concepts of pacifism and nonviolence are optional fringe supererogatory concepts, or if they are actually neglected obligatory core concepts of the faith, that have simply been abandoned due to the deemed impracticality and deemed ineffectiveness of such beliefs and practices. Secondly, besides simply suggesting that pacifism and nonviolence are core obligatory concepts in both Buddhism and Christianity, this dissertation goes further, in intending to see how the religions could work together in developing a robust collective understanding of the concepts. Historically both religions have had some difficulty finding common ground, therefore pacifism and nonviolence could be a bridge which could create more cooperation, interreligious dialogue, as well as potentially assisting with filling in potential blind spots in the respective theories of nonviolence.Finally, the scope of the dissertation will be narrowed into applying theresearch and findings into the Thai contemporary context, attempting to find avenues to practically apply the combined theories of pacifism and nonviolence.
