Skybound Lights The Buddhist Festival of Prabāraṇā Pūrnīmā in Bangladesh - Buddhistdoor Global2023 •
rabāraṇā Pūrnīmā, also known as Aśbinī Pūrnīmā, is one of the most significant events in the South Asian Buddhist community. The term “prabāraṇā” entails the relinquishing of evils, whereas “pūrnīmā” signifies the day of the full moon. From the Buddhist perspective, Prabāraṇā Pūrnīmā refers to an auspicious full moon day for recalling one’s errors and committing to good deeds for all sentient beings. This day is recognized as a blessed day, commemorating the occasion when the historical Buddha intervened in a major monastic dispute and reasserted peace and harmony among the community. Buddhist monks observe this bright full moon day for successfully accomplishing their three months of religious retreat during the monsoon season (vassa). As a cultural hallmark beyond Buddhism, Aśbinī Pūrnīmā is celebrated by Bengalis of all races, religions, and communities through the beautiful sight of flying sky lanterns, or fanus, into the air.

Ritualistic Buddhism and Folk Belief in Bangladesh : A Case StudyInternational Ilamer Proceedings Symposium Book
Bangladeş’te Din Özgürlüğü, İnanç ve Dini Hoşgörü: Tasavvuf üzerine bir Vaka Çalışması (Freedom of Religion, Faith and Religious Tolerance in Bangladesh: A Case Study on the Sufism)A common concept in Bangladesh is that religious communities live together in peaceful coexistence, and this culture has come from ancient times. Generally, Bangladesh is a Muslim country with a majority in Islam. Nevertheless, according to the constitution of Bangladesh, all citizens have equal rights regardless of religion. There are 169 million people in Bangladesh. There is about 90 percent of Bangladesh’s population of Muslim, 9.5 percent of the people depend on Hindu religion, 0.6 percent of people belong to Buddhists religion, 0.3 percent are Christians. It has less than one percent is Ahmadi Muslims and Shi’ite as well. Every religion of People gets vacations for their celebrating on national holidays according to the constitution of Bangladesh. There is evidence of celebrating various religious ceremonies and festivals. There is all public participation in religious programs and festivals like Eid Ul Fitr and Eid Ul Azha for Muslims, Durga Puja for Hindus, Buddha Purnima for Buddhists and Christmas for Christians. It is a significant achievement in the country of such a religious majority. In similar circumstances, there is no such kind of behaviour in Bangladesh concerning religious diversity in other parts of the world. The common masses of Bangladesh deserve praise for this achievement. In the country’s constitution, there has been an assurance of all religions, which serves as a protector against intolerance. Bangladesh is recognized as a tolerant society for all these reasons. Religious intolerance and extremism are not yet common in Bangladesh society. Unfortunately, this is not the case in other parts of the world. The Middle East has seen the spread of extremist doctrines in the last few years. The worlds advanced continents like America and Europe; religious intolerance exists as well as there is widespread discrimination against Muslim men and women. To prevent Muslims from praying in the mosque, Muslim women were prevented from wearing the hijab and scarf as well. Even Muslims are not given vacation on the day of Eid festivals every year. Thus, the countries which were considered the ideal of tolerance could not be endurable like Bangladesh. The Religious communities in Bangladesh are the main reason for peaceful coexistence and religious tolerance: the significant influence of Islamic Mysticism, Bengali Unity, and Bengali language as well. The existence of countless ethnic groups, including Muslims, Hindus, Christian, and Buddhists, can be painted in the diluted blood of Bengalis. The Bengali nation was motivated by nationalism and fought for their mother tongue. The only nation in the world is the Bengali. They gave life for their language and the language that is currently being celebrated on International Mother Language Day. All the people regardless of every religion, participated in this movement. Therefore, February 21 is a glorious day of the people of Bangladesh. On this day of 1952, some youths were martyred in police firing on protesters demanding Bangla to become state language. February 21 was declared the International Mother Language Day by UNESCO on November 17 1999. According to the decisions taken by the United Nations in 2010, every year on February 21, International Mother Language Day is celebrated worldwide. That is why all religions play an equal role in protecting religious tolerance. On the other hand, Islamic Mysticism in Bangladesh depends directly on the beliefs, history, and culture of the Bangladeshi Muslims. This is because Sufism has a history of more than 1000 years in Bangladesh. Islamic Mysticism contributed to reducing the religious hatred, fanaticism, and fundamentalism among the people of Bangladesh. Therefore, the result of my study shows that how to Islamic Mysticism is establishing status equality, love, and brotherhood among the masses and taught people to respect each other’s religion, emotions, and practices in Bangladesh. The research tries to highlight that the influence of Sufism was investigated to promote religious cohesion and tolerance in Bangladesh from the 11th to the 21st century. Keywords: Freedom of religion, Belief, Tolerance, Religious development, Social Development, Islamic Mysticism, Bengali language.

Buddhist-Muslim Relations in Southeast Bangladesh in the Shadow of the Rohingya Crisis2019 •
Based on primary research conducted in the Bangladesh-Burma borderland, this briefing paper shows that during the height of the current Rohingya crisis, Buddhist-Muslim relations in Bangladesh territories that border Burma remained peaceful due to strategic measures taken by both Buddhist civil society and the Bangladeshi government to de-escalate communal tensions. These measures, ranging from community driven village peace committees to formal police protection for Buddhist temples and villages in the borderland, were instrumental in maintaining peaceful communal coexistence on the Bangladesh side of the border.
