Many many years ago, Catholics used to fight Protestants, Protestants used to bomb Catholics.
Now, Catholics no longer fight Protestants, Protestants no longer fight Catholics.
Buddhism has many variants. Theravada (Small Vehicle), Mahayana (Big Vehicle), Varijyana.
But Buddhism variants never fight one another - and the disciples of these variants visit one another with mutual respect and learn from one another.
So coming to the crutch :- Inclusiveness, Tolerance, Mutual Respect - will bring peace and prosperity.
Exclusiveness, Intolerance - will bring war, conflict, confrontation, killings and destruction.
