LLet me repeat the words of the great Buddhist Philosopher, Aryadeva:

Svapakse vidyate ragah,
Parapakse tu te’priyah
Nirvanam nadhigacchasi
Na sivam dvandvacarinah

“If in you there is attachment to your doctrines and aversion to those of others,
you will never attain Nirvana; for happiness is not for him who upholds opposites, i.e., attachment and aversion.”

AAt a time when the world is being torn apart by sectarianism and narrow-mindedness, a growing number of Buddhists everywhere are beginning to break down the barriers which exist between the so-called Theravada and Mahayana Buddhist schools.

This article clearly explains that the division in Buddhism is by no means similar to that which occurs in other religions. The writer explains that the differences are merely cultural and it is quite conceivable that both groups can come together because they agree on almost all the important tenets of the religion.

In fact, the formation of the World Fellowship of Buddhists in 1950 and the World Sangha Council later have already shown that Buddhists can live together amicably, in the spirit of the gentle message taught by the Compassionate One.

Dr. Ananda Guruge, an eminent Sri Lankan Buddhist scholar, has contributed much to the cause of Buddhist Unity.
