Though Islam is the dominant force, Bangladesh is a multi-cultural and multi-religious country. It is shared by Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and some animists. The Buddhist community of Bangladesh consists of various ethnic communities, such as Barua, Chakma, Rakhaim, Marma, Tanchangya, Mro, Kheyang, Lusai etc. Except Barua, all other Buddhist communities live in Chittagong Hill Tracts (hereafter CHT), and known as Adivasi (aborigine). They have their own language, scripts, literature and folk culture. They follow Theravada Buddhism. CHT is adjacent to North Indian Boarder and Myanmar. From December 2011 to January 2012, I conducted an extensive field work jointly with Dr. Dilip Kumar Barua, Professor of the Department of Pali and Buddhist Studies, University of Dhaka, on Paritta rituals. It is noteworthy that foreigners are prohibited to enter CHT. It requires government permission. But I got the permission with the help of Rev. Pragyananda Thera, a famous monk of Chakma Community. As a result, I got the opportunity to collect the materials on Parittal Rituals observed by Buddhist ethnic groups of CHT. In this paper, through a case study, I will examine the method of Paritta ritual of these ethnic groups, and consider the belief that they hold for this rituals. Moreover, I will focus on the characteristics of there rituals comparing with those found in other Thearavada countries, especially in Thailand.
