Buddhism and Pluralism

&nbsp;&nbsp;In the present world, the renewed trend of philosophy that we may call Pluralism has successively occurred in various fields. As we have already seen that our globe has many different cultures, religions and political institutions through the medium of lots of developed mass-medias, it seems to be rather natural.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, what is the stance of Buddhism, one of major world religions, to the Pluralism? Can we find Pluralistic, Dualistic or Monistic thought in Buddhism? What should we say for people of present time in the very midst of Chaos, standing on Buddhism? In this paper, the author tries to answer these serious questions through surveying Buddhism from the philosophical point of view and propose the theory of &quot;Developing Network&quot; for the peace of mankind of the future as a scholar of Buddhism.
