Whenever we learn about the relationship between X and Y, is an interesting idea to think in advance about X, then Y opinions about finally see the relationship is appropriate or conflict, instability or peaceful or not the relationship is different. I will follow this pattern present, but with an opposite sequence title, because I started with the subject of peace, and then discuss Buddhism. And now I go on a rather abstract domains belong to a range of social philosophy rather than specific issues in contemporary politics.
For that reason, I do not intend to discuss the theory of balance of power is particularly dominant in the West or the central power theory was influential in the East. In a larger-scale level, both theories peace belongs elite, reflecting their concerns are, and monopolize power usage. These theories do not necessarily reflect the theory of peace. Rather, I will present a simple awareness to the starting point: peace is something related to a trend change, but here understood to mean chaos.
However, chaos is something totally disorderly and inappropriate to refer to the idea of peace. But the main point of confusion not to be mean, but due to the extreme complexity of the system and there were some common elements and differences caused connection elements interact together. The main idea is to have a point system that tend to clump together and create a more stable, from which a number of social stereotypes (eg, countries, block links and alliances) becomes small better. When focusing on a topic of stereotypes, this interaction does not provide a comprehensive range or enabler, but only tend to combine certain patterned and usually in a way opposite and negative. On this point, the new system stabilization at first glance, but actually cause a destructive war.

In conflict theory, this could of been known as a state of decomposition, when the two allies committed to fight each other. Most impacts occur between the superpowers and indeed between the supreme leader of the superpower. Summit meeting is a good example of the result of a mistaken view of society, even if this meeting brings an agreement on disarmament. Structure agreements have brought to the point of making mistakes we have reason to suspect the results - though there are changes direction at a low level - Could it be a disarmament agreement cloaking screen, a kind of daydreaming for a treaty on arms?
First a picture of this uncertainty I want to sketch a similar picture. This image is subject to an unwanted problem we need to bring peace to discuss and learn, but this is not peace between nations, but also between the social, human and natural. We must understand that there are four main areas: natural, human, and social world. In four ranges mentioned, there are two elements essential condition for peace: differences (between the parts, molds and agents) and symbiotic (between the interactive link).
In nature, symbiotic diversity and will lead to ecological balance. For humans, symbiotic differences and will make life rich and mature, people will be more likely to promote virtue and talent to make this interaction together. In the social sphere, and symbiotic differences will lead to pluralism, giving more social attraction, not as social differentiation of the parts differences, which interact in continuous development. In the world scene, and symbiotic differences lead to peaceful coexistence between systems positive sense, not only as the two systems mentioned Soviet theory.
Moreover, both not doing it is giving a perfect theories of his own society, just tested in a social patterns as socialist, even if this means we look at all aspects dynamic edge in the renovation period. Let these features combined together that we default or symbiotic interdependence together in a balanced level of impact each other horizontally, not any department whose role is to control or exploitation. This is not always necessarily true in the case of nature, because the relationship also benefits the weak and strong resonances, but not necessarily equal. Thus, no pattern is ideal for human scale, and social world.
Pictures of peace in the fact there are now many differences, this is easy to recognize. Even at the level of theory, both the East and the West in general are thinking about peace as a war against nature, destroying the ecological balance, which is symbiotic differences and basis points version, but at the same time bringing human thought alone, usually toward teachers or materialistic things, trying to create a system to control their own world.
So do not be happy to see that others have many differences, not to praise the value of diversity, little difference is felt essential, but also the harm, if there is a pattern of social dominance and the world. Society and the world will be better developed through symbiosis between the differences, such as Socialism and Capitalists cooperation and symbiosis together, but also should not assume that either all guessing This would mean the triumph of the period. But since this is not an ideological mainstream heyday, not of the East nor of the West.
As the differences become prominent and symbiotic several deficiencies that our world becomes a system like being at war, from which there are efforts to control violence through exclusive egalitarian policies right violence. However, when such a strategy based on offensive weapons (weapons not only to defend the country that can fight and kill the enemy). Consequently, there is an arms race, because the enemy does not believe the weapon used to ensure that the aim of protecting the country. Arms race leads only to war, if not directly between the two competitors also indirectly using the medial third or fourth.
And that is our situation - say briefly - what a dilemma. We all know that war with weapons of mass destruction, whether used in any proportion, should not happen, simple things. So our prospects are not too bright, if said gently. We are building the structure for war, not for peace, diversity and community level too low born, navigation level is too low to change. It is the general tendency at present.
20 Advantages of Buddhism in contributing to peacemaking
Now I would like to share two steps are Buddhist . As I personally think if a comprehensive world view, Buddhism is an important faith, have a worldview closest to a theoretical model is extremely dynamic and complex peace. I tried to analyze this point by dividing into two parts: 20 strengths Buddhism entirely consistent with the pursuit of peace and weaknesses impede 6 that I will present in the following section. To conclude, I will compare the mutual relationship between the images presented on Peace and Buddhism.
1. Selflessness
The most basic Buddhist theory of selflessness is a spiritual ego but not permanent. I see this view does not mean to exclude unusual characteristics, always changing, if you can speak metaphorically, this is consistent with the view spirituality in the West in the collective spirit: empathy with other sentient beings in all ranges. But the point is to exclude individualism, a focal point of the West, when autistic individuals see themselves as unique, individual, non-binding, ensuring that a private life immortal in the sense of permanence. This theory is certainly not excluded Egolessness a sense of solidarity between people, in the best sense possible combinations of all human beings with other living things, where they are in any , not to mention the border, age, gender, type, nation, class, or in the natural environment, not necessarily in the same habitat, and also no difference with animals.
We can say Christianity is the best possible search uplifting properties, derived from individuals currently living here through then approached Jesus to God, (but not more or less right through the middle time of the Church , and this also depends on what kind of church). According to Buddhism, the most combined search can expand the space for each individual to give to the other categories of non-human (if we can express the way "down direction" such general) just regress and progress over time in accordance with the principles of karma and rebirth. This is a unique concept of Hindu spiritual transformation of individuals in often at.
Thus, the theory of selflessness to a great extent created sympathy for all categories from the past to the present and the future, even if this combination can best be regarded as something that the intrinsic nature. It is a trait that I have in others and others have in me. I am a process, the process associated with other processes in mind, body and same problem no matter where in the past, present and future, depending on the conditions which have caused or are causing problems for others. theory-self remove all borders, against all fertilizers, combined personal, if not, then they pitted together in the struggle to take interest and grace of God as look to Him, but more mundane requirements to see if he began to wane, a familiar phenomenon in the world of Christians. followers theistic Christianity and the associated search to raise up to God. In contrast, Buddhists expand links with all beings, all others are living in space and time. Can Christianity separated, while Buddhism, with selfless spirit, just combined.
2. Nonviolence
The consequences of the theory of nonviolence selflessness towards all beings, one thing is sure, including animals, (which is why Buddhists tend to be vegetarians). Nonviolence does not translate into thoughts or selfish altruism. These two concepts proposed that selfish attempt to maximize their benefits, even when others suffer costs, while altruistic attempt to maximize the benefits for others enjoy, even if must bear the cost themselves. extent of selflessness theory, nonviolence must be understood as a rule do not hurt others by hurting others as well as yourself hurt, we all together a category, and is part of the interactive process together, all contact with me in the same time and space.
According to Gandhi, this idea is extremely important, the best possible combination in humans and in life became his main theory on which to base. Obviously, the spirit of nonviolence important influence in peacebuilding, but the problem is that there are a few places in the world have the spirit of non-violence, there is no other place. Therefore, there is an argument for at least an intermediate strategy towards an enlightened world needs more: it is the concept of self-defense defense.
3. Compassion
Nonviolence is a way of expressing negative. Indeed, in the Sanskrit language nonviolent less negative content. The tone comes from the five precepts which are mostly not allowed to do (not suicide, killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying and alcohol use). Five Precepts must be interpreted with grammar, year to act in a positive sense. One of this year's Compassion grammar, which can be interpreted as sympathy. In other words, we not only renounce violence but also the compassion extended to all races anywhere. Four other action is not good direction including the trafficking of weapons and alcohol, controlled sexuality and passion, to tell the truth and awakening - in the sense that every careless abandon and heartless.
In view of peace theory, this important point. According to Buddhism, the focus of basis points is not negative in the sense of peace that positive, not only the absence of war that have good relations, not only that there are five precepts grammar.
4. Symbiosis.
Thought of Buddhism is that we have a common moral assets. Buddha nature is a common trait that we can achieve together. Our goal is not self-executing in constant spiritual individual, that self-realization of all, because we stick together in a causal relationship is conditional.
This approach can not be applied to the whole world. Welfare, growth and security of other countries are also welfare, growth and security for my country. If I do harm to another individual or group, we can not be together, common development, including the meet. I can win alone, but it is also for all. , in principle, this kind of thinking leads to the sale of that I tried to build with others through agreements to cooperate, rather than trying to maximize their own benefit in the short term. National accounting sense surplus or trade deficit and per capita income based on the national total output becomes meaningless, when we do not care about the future of the world. This is just a way to express the spirit of selfishness in the world, just think of their country is important and eternal. A collective moral properties would lead us to spiritual symbiosis and equality.
Another result was not the direction of the theory of collective security (eg Palme Commission) but also on security cooperation. This opinion can shape institutions such as international peacekeeping force of the United Nations. Today, perhaps more important is the effort to build its own security without reducing the security of other countries, for example through the system rather than defensive weapons attack.
In a nutshell, the theory of peace, collective mindset shaped for a form of "my security is my security, and vice versa", this thinking leads to a more conceptual combination is excluded. This view suggests to overcome reductionist goal is just worried about disarmament as the path to peace.
5. Disparities
Buddhism is basic tolerance, a famous motto in practice 84 thousand. History shows that there is not a place known as a center official to protect the Buddhist teachings , there is no inquisitions and religious wars. But Buddhist tolerance for other faiths, other religions have created for conditions associated with Buddhism in a broader level, or it at least can live with Buddhism. Follow Buddhist pluralism rather than alone, even with the religious ideas help you.
It is thought consolidation in diversity, but also diversity in consolidation is assumed. There is a symbiosis of differences as people witnessed Buddhist capabilities can combine different kinds of thoughts in my way of thinking. Given differences in the forms of society and human behavior, the theory of peace want it set to the conditions determined in the system. If the theory is applied in a symbiotic relationship, then it will not match the high level with Buddhist thought but also in practice, especially to avoid the opposite extreme way. It is the attempt to find the best fit theory and action.
6. Middle Theory
Middle Notes is a specific orientation for life. The main point of this theory is not too much or too little, a way to help Buddhists tend not extreme. In the range of attitudes and beliefs, this approach include a tendency to move away from any extreme, very useful for Buddhists as well as Christians who do Quakers became the bridge. Buddhists easy to intermediaries exposed to extreme elements, these elements give a perspective towards a more pragmatic Buddhism, which they perceive as extreme views are only partial awareness.
7. Discriminative middle
Practice is a concrete manifestation point middle just mentioned. In material life, practice this means when it can not be too insufficient to satisfy the basic needs, which can not accumulate too much in order to rich, it should be avoided. In the spiritual life, this means that torture should not torment yourself nor should self-extracting lung sloppy. The impact of this lifestyle makes social justice relatively little attention to the physical ideal enrichment by exploitation or acquisition, to be more cautious economic life, do not unto others lost opportunities achieve a moderate life. To keep the best possible combination principle, people will play a fundamental role in the relationship. Although we see here is a social theory, but can also be a theory applies to countries around the world: no one shall be subjected to national consumption of too little, but no country is consumed excessive. To be more specific, not country to consume too little, because other countries are consuming so much that there is nothing. Again, peace theory, this perspective provides a solid basis for active policy of peace based on justice and equality in all forms of exchange makes the principle of equality not compromised, because based on cooperative symbiosis. So based on the Buddhist philosophy that the theory also for righteousness need to expand the definition of theft, more consistent with the concept of exploitation, but in fact it is also necessary debate.
8. Performance with small-scale
If we accept the need to have a framework for cooperation toward Buddha nature, to human life in constant interaction, and mutual assistance, which only makes sense in the small scale units. Even a Buddhist mass movements such as Soka Gakkai, the frantic protests, seem to indicate that they succeed only in small groups of acquaintances. In general, this way of thinking is typical in Theravada Buddhism than Mahayana, the Soka Gakkai movement is one example.
According peace theory, the social unit in four small scope (nature, people. Social world) seems to be much calmer, because of which there is a navigation mechanism that one might say the wrong thing to each other, to endure the consequences of the disputed general and general enjoying the benefits brought by cooperation. In the mass society that individuals with severe dispersion, keeping the gender gap power, a mechanism is difficult to navigate so.
In general, Buddhism tends interested in small-scale units in social organizations, and small units against each other are less than large organizations, not to mention if there are other reasons the small units have little means of the destructive activities. Small groups to create a better basis for promoting brotherhood as is the condition for humanity - the path to Buddhahood, good role model for the peaceful combines theory and practice of Buddhism.
9. Overall
Buddhism has no difficulty in thinking and action as appropriate under the four mentioned range, not acceptable fertilizers, artificial, artificial combination of the most vast of living beings. However, in four ranges, I find it necessary to explain again that Buddhist teachings as well as in practice most convincing in both scope and human nature, and rarely deployed as a handbook of ideas and practices for the social sphere and the world. Though Buddhism has a relative lack of theory to the world and society, but this difficulty is overcome easily thanks to the contribution of the Buddhists and even today's philosophers. Although basic conditions have been achieved, but on the redirected merge may not give a limit in principle between the range to say: "This is not my concern."
Indeed, there is no characteristic Buddhist metaphysics is a philosophy that morality is experienced, there is no scope for a divine revelation to distinguish people. Buddha achieved a profound awakening, but he is also a man. When the deployment Western religions theology as a divine science, the philosophy of Buddhism (if known contrasted the Buddhist theology) are freer to focus on this world in the most viewpoints may. For fields of philosophy, psychology, medicine and nutrition, the most powerful principles, while in the field of sociology, economics and international relations, the weaker principles. But nothing obstructing Buddhist thinkers in the field to move forward on this principle.
10. Mass
In terms of history, Buddhism tends to become a mass religion, or a belief system of the people, a movement for the crowd, not the religious elite or power. Indeed, Buddhism was brought from India as incompatible with aspects of the Indian caste Brahmanism. In Japan, world leaders have adapted to Shinto, the national religion a neo-colored and ethnic antagonism, seen as a basic navigation plus with Christianity. In Korea, and also have a part in China, leaders clung Catholic youths later also acquire attitudes Freedom, Conservative and Marxist.
In Korea today, it was also found in people under the leadership of Christian extremists in the south and Marxist extremists in the North, and Buddhist influence spread in the population - can also be in the North. This represents an enormous potential for a policy of peace if the leader himself is in favor of reconciliation step or impulse of most people on the unified Korea. Get Buddhism as a guideline, a policy of peace conjugate of both sides based on Buddhist teachings to create a solid foundation under conditions of mass participation.
But in Korean Buddhism weakened, could also be because of the corruption and against the Japanese conquest of Shintoism. That may be the reason why the leadership to respond to the situation by sticking under the rigid thinking of the West. thinking of the West tend to rely less on an individual basis, autoantibodies according to their beliefs of the Christian faithful, according to liberalism or Marxist theory of class.
11. Creator and peace
According to Buddhism there is no distinction between the Creator and the creature - a key point in Buddhism is the unity between all individuals (and not only the image of a single man of the world) . From a theoretical point of peace, this means that we must rely on ourselves alone. Buddhists do not hope to achieve the return of peace by obedience to the Almighty, sees this as a part of His grace by giving. When efforts ideals, Buddhists and unimpeded like 'If the Creator wanted peace, he will give peace'. Peace is the action of our own, as part of the creative process of the world is created by sentient creatures in the past, present and future. Peace is not a gift, which is the result of a possible collective action deeply conscious.
12. Attachment relationships
In Buddhism, there is little distinction between subject and object. Not only have we observe the world but also the world we observe. We're located in the world, but also belongs to a part of the world. To be specific, this means that there is a dialectical relationship going on when we affect the world and affect our world. Peace is not something that we create by shaping the world, peace is something that shaped the world we are in process. 's mission is to use our This dialectic a positive way. And this is not done by the West as the set of questions such as: "We begin to change the world or to change ourselves?" Buddhists do not do so, but by cheering for everyone in the process of changing all four ranges of natural, human society and the world in motion.
 |
13. Impermanence
According to Buddhist thought, there is the impermanence of all things. The world and all things rise and fall extent, not always in a form of a rigid overall structure - but rather like a process based on differences in symbiotic interactions to. When she tried to leave the world in a unique morphology and eternal, meaningless effort. Either any plans to peacebuilding, this plan is a process, not be a plan of the structure. From the theoretical point peace plan in accordance with the actual process rather than structure, as set out long term thing, but peace can imagine, not only on account of the characteristics of the four ranges in general and also in the interaction of each specific domain.
14. Interactive
According to Buddhist thought, the interaction is always coming from two directions. My consciousness is towards the world and the world are shaping my consciousness. Want to achieve anything, we never tried to conducted on a straight path, push lever, but forget that all of that is always a reaction. nor should we try to use a lever to make moving the rest of the system, but rather should move in from all angles at once. Rather than just pushing one way, should better coordinate efforts small, but in many directions at the same time, starting from every corner of reality from matter to spirit, but always remember that the system will react in a complex network. Peace is not merely inseparable; peace, development, and economic balance are inseparable. The whole argument of the system must change in accordance with the process and impact response to peacemaking more results.
15. Conflicts
According to Buddhism, the world has more contrast, the approach has many paradoxes. So thinking of the Chinese people today have put out 'one country, two systems', - that is, both Socialist and capitalist in the same country. People's Republic of China is basically a Buddhist country and there are many religions , but it is certainly not a Marxist countries follow, with a straight dogmatic system as a Western way.
According to theoretical perspectives on peace, not to fight everyone contrast, tried to form a pure system, this will affect. Diversity is in contrast with all kinds of things possible, there is even dreaming. This point is extremely important, because we will always live in a mixture of systems with different reasoning. Towards a reality no contradiction would be meaningless under the philosophy of Buddhism, because Buddhism that cause health effects from want of direction.
16. Falun
Thought of as a combination of Buddhist wheel of dharma. It does not follow the pyramid model and deduced from first principles. From the heresy as I mentioned above, it does not have a principle considered as fundamental principles than others. Rather, these guidelines are structured as revolving around a wheel, but we need to understand that every way we can get the common connection point (which is easy to put this dangerous situation, but we have to method, only two points of view always at the same time, but rather may be three, or four or more.) Nothing is final foundation or make-believe, but rather the entire system opens new location, which means we need a new approach. When the Buddhist wheel of dharma wheel rotation over time, the new connection point will open up new networks more closely on ideas and actions.
Ultimately, the overall Falun exactly the problem, an approach based on the principle of unity and dynamism - as opposed to the interpretations according to the pyramid model associated with the perception of discrete or inventions.
17. Optimism
Buddhist Thought extremely optimistic. There Buddha nature in us all, if we make ourselves Buddhahood and effort. No one other than outside. But there is a difference between emphasizing Mahayana and Theravada end suffering while emphasizing happiness. therefore, be argued that more oriented Theravada negative about peace, while the Mahayana focused more on peace positive feedback. Because both elements of the dynamic concept of peace, devotion to the world of Buddhism is the combination of Mahayana and Theravada, look both ways as is the practice molds for the differences, and let the two interact each other in a symbiotic way. Yes this is a challenge for Buddhism.
18. Circulation .
Buddhist perspectives on cyclical process rather than a linear. Do not have a precise assurance that everything will be good or bad will happenings. There are ups and downs in four main areas, the situation sometimes promoted and sometimes decrease, and vice versa, (quite the opposite of heaven and hell according to Christian theology, the view is common both in the Department of the evolution of man, a place where people no longer retreat.) From the theoretical point of peace, circulation theory can help to prevent any Buddhist overly optimistic when the good can or extreme pessimism when the situation deteriorated, open up a middle position in this view. On the other hand, especially in Mahayana, there is an extent to promote positive views cyclic element linear advancement, as a spiral motion picture.
19. Continuous efforts
Main points of Buddhist philosophy is continued effort, self-improvement, and constantly progressive spirit, which is the essential point, but also feasible, and - in any case - and fully. It is not expected from an act of faith, or tamed by the grace or grandeur or so where this behavior is useful in the sense that (but there is an exception in Amitabha Buddhist Da). Much hard work is required, - a way of thinking entirely consistent with the theory of peace. Moreover, peace is not the ultimate status at the end of the road, stability and confidence to achieve, but also just a continuation of efforts, if possible.
20. Nirvana
And finally, the ultimate goal of Buddhism is nirvana for people, a place is considered as a pattern in any direction to move the motion. This concept can not be interpreted as status or destroy or extinguish the metaphor similar in the Western style of presentation. Rather, it should be considered as a kind of Nirvana perform the consolidation theory able in all, a kind of self-realization while achieving selfless spirit with Perpetual happy mood. This is entirely consistent with the idea of peace as I have shown above in the introduction to theoretical generalizations about peace. Nirvana is a redirect in motion, as well as a peaceful navigation in motion.
Thus, in a sense, peace is heaven and heaven is peace. Borders are eliminated, as the combination can best be achieved. And just above 19 points are specified in point 20.
Six Buddhist cons impede peace
But Buddhism also had some drawbacks that explain why we can not play an important role as a peacemaker factors, a Buddhist definitely has the potential to perform. proving the following six points witness issues. Those who live in the Buddhist countries could see more.
1. Tolerance of militarism
Tolerance is a good thing, but bringing Buddhist tolerance level to place too, such as in the military regime used extreme violence - as in the case of Japan where Buddhist and Shinto easy grip Confucianism and combined with an extremely dangerous and support for the junta forces of Japan (suicide kamikaze style of military suicide is a most obvious example). Another case in which we remember is the support of the Buddhist military regime in Thailand.
2. Real injustice
Tolerance is a good thing, but Buddhism tolerance for excessive use of force systems into a structure, such as in economic policy, making the Middle Way doctrine can not be done. The result is a surface can end poverty levels, on the other hand extremely wealthy elite that Buddhists do not fight against the system, point inevitable, because it is possible to practice theory attempts Central Director. Again shows Japan is an example for economic policy.
If the terms of international, Japan accumulated wealth while the poor suffer water around Japan, including end suffering. But at the same time should also mention that the extra income distribution in Japan is one of the most justice in the world. Only fair number of very little change over time - this means that the ups and downs in income for the elite and the people from the way of life more. In a certain extent, can be attributed to two factors that influence the thought and practice of Buddhism in the country.
This point may indicate that, if in this sense, is a Buddhist social theory more than the world, while important theories proposed stereotypes and attitudes in human nature, Buddhism has less impact, because the individual scope rather than macro. As I mentioned above, Buddhism has many advantages when it has more scope to contact each other.
This point is easy to lead to blindness caused excessive tolerance against violent behavior in other ranges. An officer with risk sharing and good treatment to soldiers during the brutal attempts to crush the enemy, now director of the division of wages, power and priority rights to the exploitation of workers but the business partners through contracts and foreign markets without mercy, which is an example.
3. Social isolation
The idea is to work in small units close to the temple, the wells in the village under the guidance of the monks are good things. In Tam Bao Buddhist and France have always in my heart mass, but the increase was marginal place. Monks, living conditions, but also the monumental small units, separate from society, this means that both traits has recently isolated splendor is created for monks practicing compassion and nonviolence with the monk, (not to the heart of society).
Buddhism became a separate scope, though not in the sense of personalization, but in the sense of the common activities for a small group, a common way to launch collaborative practice toward Buddha nature. Effect of a macro social distractions, negative effects when individuals take away from the road to escape the living Buddha nature circulating in society.
4. Compromise to practice
Buddhism is easy to accept the country's leaders to apply the opposite way that Buddhism Buddhism have just enough freedom to practice their religion. In other words, Buddhists like the others, too easy to accept the agreement with tyranny and of course inevitably tempted by the welfare dependency, the income makes sense is required agreement. When Buddhism became the state religion, became obvious danger, as this case Thailand and Sri Lanka may well be a different case.
5. Rise and fall
Theory of rise and fall is seen as opposed to a linear process, are consistent with fatalism, accepting defeat easily, even if deep down there is no surrender. According to the theory of rise and fall, decline is inevitable. However, to the theory of rise and fall is not too dangerous because also believe that there will be prosperity for the right time. The thought of this makes also the rise and fall in a certain way, should not need a real effort. In short, Western prejudices of oriental fatalism is true, of course, can also be the opposite.
6. Excessive Rituals
If you accept the five points above, then Buddhism can easily become a more religious rituals, grandeur, splendor is like weaving a multitude of temples in Southeast Asia and East Asia. But it can also be all the problems. The aim is towards the Buddha as a figure to be admired too much to accept praying hands, leaned bowed before the image of the Tathagata.
Respect of France, His teachings, just the thing memorized, even by the old language, (eg, the Sri Lankan Pali, Sanskrit for Hindus or ancient language Chinese and many other languages). And Increases may be admired, but they are so unique and inimitable. Said another way, Buddhism became a more important audience is something to go on subjective human life as is a place of boundless accumulation awareness of man's existence, a kind of philosophical psychology can not compare. Done this way just makes Buddhism stagnation - or in other words, Buddhism is a religion is waning.
Conclusion
Looking through the 20 positive and 6 negative points just presented, the following summary shows an evident: Buddhism has a very great potential as a resource to contribute to a hospitable policy dynamic harmony, in a larger scale level, we can say Buddhism is an untapped potential. , but revived Buddhism to escape the effects of a greedy world use direct violence and structured.
Obviously, the potential for peace are in other religions. But Buddhism different from other religions (eg Jewish, and Muslim God). Whatever can not believe it, but Buddhism is also used to justify acts of direct violence and organized, war and exploitation.
If when Christianity replaced the bad side, they make war. If Buddhists want to replace the bad side, they retreated and concealed by ritual. Our mission is to change both the direction of both the good and the religious dimension of this good can actually bring appropriate consequences for actions.
Do not remember how to practice the teachings of the Buddha, but also remember the teachings on politics and society for the establishment of social interaction in his time, is useful both for us . point where we may be lacking: the more aware of what gives meaning Buddhism in practice, then we will have a lot more practice to guide us to apply this awareness.
Of course, the role of Buddhist leaders are more exemplary, inspiring and important as trying to UN Secretary-General U Thant, the Burmese, Soka Gakkai world leaders, Daikasu Ikeda, Japanese, Ariayaratne, World leaders, Shramdadama Sarvodaya, Sri Lanka ...
The challenge is certainly at this point. Everywhere in the world there have been efforts to create a structure of peace - but these efforts often lack the spirit of ethical part.
