This paper is explored commonalities and differences by comparing thought of co‐existence of Unification Thought with theory of ideal society of Buddhism. In comparing the two ideas, I would like to compare them from an ontological difference and functional similarities. The subject of comparative research on the contact points between Unification Thought and Buddhism can have various dimensions, such as world view, theory of human beings, theory of the messiah, view of an ideal society, ethical beliefs, view of the economy, view of peace, view of the family, view of afterlife, view of world citizen, and view of meditation practice. This paper is concerned with the following issues from the perspective of Buddhism. First, what is the goal of joint ethics of world religions and theories of an ideal society? Second, what is the theoretical basis of the theory of an ideal society and the economic ethics of Buddhism and Unification Thought? Third, what is the socio‐ethical meaning of the idea of the great compassion based on sameness in essence implied in the Buddhist theory of dependent arising (緣起說, Pratītyasamuptpāda) of no‐self (anātman). Fourth, what are the characteristics of co‐existence (共生, symbiosis), the economic theory of the ideal society of Unification Thought? Fifth, what are the similarities and differences between the view of an ideal society and the co‐existence (symbiosis, concurrently produced) thought of Buddhism and the Unification Thought? Through critical exploration of these issues, I intend to reexamine the methodology for inter‐religious dialogue and to find a common direction toward establishing global ethics.
