Buddhism is now a globalized religion in the world. It has been pluralized by Globalization
and is currently affected by this phenomenon. But some notes were pointed out the
principles of Buddhism and its relation to globalization. Buddhism points out the principle of
interdependence—essential belief of Buddhism—which is also the fundamental aspect of
globalization in economic interest; however, Buddhists practice self-limitation—non-
attachment to any worldly desires in order to become happy—which is contrary to pleasures
that acquire through globalization. Lastly, individual character of self-fulfillment, inner
spiritual liberty, private character of religiousness, and pluralism that are typical to Buddhist
tradition are not varied to some principles of global liberation in the form of ideas of
democracy, human rights and liberties, and post-modernism being cultivated now (Ulanov et
al.,2015). There are no clear studies that can say Buddhism is antiglobalism, all we know as of
now is the importance of some principles of Buddhism that is the same in the values of a
globalized world.
