The rights to satisfy one's desire without violating another's rights is a paradigm of symbiosis which is essential to mankind living together. So education should establish the harmonious relationship between human and nature and this kind of education should be started in early childhood. Life-oriented education is dedicated to helping young children experience their oneness and harmony with all 'Life'. So, this study proposed the 'Lifeism' of Buddhism as rights to live together, namely, a principle of ‘the links in the chain of existence(Pratitya- samutpa ̄da)’, 'self-profit profit others(A ̄tmahitan)' and 'the commandment against killing'. This study also proposed concrete practical methods which can promote the early childhood education program for the development of awareness about Life-Community.
