Bangkok – Amid growing global conflicts, rapid technological change, and the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), Buddhist scholars have highlighted the Āneñjasappāya Sutta, found in the Majjhima Nikāya of the Pali Canon, as a profound framework for cultivating lasting world peace through inner transformation.
The discourse teaches practitioners to transcend sensual pleasures and attachment to both material and mental phenomena, recognizing that all conditioned things are impermanent. The Buddha explains progressive meditative attainments that stabilize the mind, enabling it to remain unshaken by greed, hatred, and delusion—the fundamental causes of human conflict.
At the heart of the teaching lies deep contemplation of non-self and emptiness, leading to liberation (vimokkha) from attachment. Through wisdom, practitioners learn to understand consciousness and its tendency to cling to various states of existence, eventually realizing Nibbāna, the complete cessation of suffering.
Scholars suggest that these principles can be applied to modern leadership, public policy, and AI ethics by encouraging decision-makers to overcome attachment to power, prejudice, and personal gain. Such an approach promotes compassion, fairness, and peaceful conflict resolution.
The Sutta also offers guidance for developing resilient leaders capable of withstanding the pressures of consumerism, misinformation, and ideological polarization in today's digital society.
Ultimately, the Āneñjasappāya Sutta presents not only a path for individual liberation but also a universal model of wisdom-based peace, beginning with inner stability and extending outward to families, communities, nations, and the entire world.
