The Buddhists put forth an alternative perspective on social inequalities and mechanisms to address conflicts within society. According to a myth found in the Sutta Pitaka, they proposed that in the beginning, humans did not possess fully developed physical bodies, and the plant world was also not fully mature. During this idyllic period, all beings lived in harmony, peacefully gathering only the necessary resources from nature for their sustenance.
