Buddhism has had a more subtle global impact than the more aggressive religions of Christianity and Islam, or even Hinduism. Buddhism played a role in the recent civil war in Sri Lanka, between the Hindu Tamils and the Buddhist Sinhalese, if only to accentuate the differences between the two ethnic groups. Other than that, it has helped to popularize the idea of meditation, although many other religions also practice various forms of meditation. Buddhism is a significant contributing philosophical influence on the evolution of what we might describe as New Age spirituality.
