In late 2009 at its recent sports stadium of the city of Hamburg, Germany, the Dalai Lama 14th lecture to over 25,000 Europeans heard in English and Tibetan, have been translated directly the 8 languages, including Vietnamese. On day 3 of the 4-day lectures, seminars he has for three generations. There are three people in three different generations were invited onto the stage to talk with him.

Rotate through generations of people in the age of 60, he thanked the audience and toward him and said, "We at generation 60, 70 have to thank this generation bore us, so we have been living an sustainable life on this planet during the past few decades, but at the same time our generation has created too many difficulties for the world. For example, in economics, politics, war, etc. ... We hope that when in our heart of compassion is completely dominated by hatred and suffering will not exist anymore ... "

His next talk to the young generation 40. He said: "The world today thanks to you. So thanks for the great invention of scientists the world has outstanding advances in the field of science worldwide. So that all communication with each other more and more quickly. However, I think: that development is something wrong. Because nowadays people only superficially of others rather than themselves quickly and easily understood by yourself ...

The latter was a young teenager, the age of 20. He turned to this man, nodded and said quietly: "We, the previous generation must admire you. Because of you were born in this, every surface lacking. From oil to trees. From the environment to climate ... what is so polluted and worse. We've set up your shoulders so much hope and responsibility, but the error was actually due to us, who in previous generations have caused. We apologize to you.

The applause was continuous incessant clapping to celebrate the groundbreaking of his thoughts. Then one other time in Hamburg, in university lecture halls here, he talks to her Protestant archbishop of northern Germany on the theme: "Love of Religion." He said:

"Today I personally live in the light of Buddhist compassion and love I brought it to everyone, not because of my religion brings, which began with the love of the mother is not my literacy ... "The audience was choked and many people were moved to tears.

Mahatma Gandhi, father of Indian nationalism once said: "If this world, all of us every day trying to sit in meditation for 15 minutes, the world would be no war."

If the world and human compassion shown to be as the saints above, how have the opportunity to war outbreak? Just because the human heart desires to win another favorite; so new to all this mess. Buddha taught that "military victory does not want her to win by themselves. Auto win is his most resounding "or what?

Natural disasters come from? If the compact is the definition for the ears of the sun, water yoke. Then we assign to the sky far and near, then we assign to land and water, but in fact is caused by humans at all. We have destroyed the ecology of forests through logging, tree felling, damming dams, livestock, pesticides. Etc. ... all these things have helped us quickly into the economy, but ethical decadence. Since the main purpose of business is profit and they do so remains for a lot of money. In addition, they are less environmental concerns. Each of us eat more meat, cut down forest trees bluff etc ... are in direct violation of the environment. As vegetarians, plant protection are directly protecting the environment.

All over America, Asia, Europe ... where the first was a hurricane, typhoon season. No snow in winter which sometimes has to spring from long ago still have many places the snow covered world. This is brought by natural disasters, but man remains the main factor. We should deal with themselves in many different cases, to this earth balance between oxygen and carbonic oxide, then we also have the opportunity to live long on this earth. Otherwise, human life is increasingly reduced.

Where do earthquakes? Buddha taught that: "The three realms are not lying in the house." In fact, in terms of the constitution of this globe is the Earth's water and fire. If the Earth drained empty when all the leaves as fuel oil, gold, silver, lead, zinc, etc. ... then a chance of fire in the spray up and down the dirt collapsed, creating severe earthquake on this globe.

Land, water, wind and fire are four main elements to create this body and this cosmos. If one of the elements that move, change, deficit or surplus, etc. ... also easy to make this earth shake through many different rhythms.

There are many animals such as fish, turtles, tortoises, snakes, etc. ... have a special sense. We know when the quake struck. While humans have all the modern machinery to prevent seismic, but eventually people get squashed land, to send the body into the ground to cool.

Tsunami Japanese called Tsunami. If written in kanji is called Tan Ba. Tan is the beach. Where the beach certainly contains a lot of sand. There are three waves; this class overlaps another class, come and go at times when high-low. So-called Tsunami. In modern history, we have witnessed the tsunami in Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and recently in Japan. Then tomorrow will be even more so, if we humans do not notice nature and the environment.

Through victory like that heroes of world history, we learned from experience?

First we see images of his temple and the stratigraphy in Fukushima still standing intact among the vast sea air. It seems like real time in months and did not seem affected by the tsunami scene happened in March 2011 in Sendai past. It is by prayer. Where there is prayer, with worship, there is enthusiasm ... where he will become holy and will leave a disaster. Where lack of maintenance, outsourcing practices, ... then where would be dominated by the victory to the local hero was horrified.

Tsunami in Sendai picked apart to find out the corpses, we also discovered that many people living in which there is a dog and a 80-year-old man. Certainly, this dog should have been so religious. This old man who is blessed, so 80 is not storm water non emasculated continuously. This is a particular blessing of pirated property corresponds well to what the Buddha taught in the "Reviews A billion miles on the establishment of the world."

When do people still respect the Three Jewels, respect and filial piety to parents, perfect harmony with you and have compassion for all things of the earth, then life will be longer. If people do the opposite of the above, in the near future we will welcome the great unintended consequences occur across this globe.

Through the "big three ears" people are left with a minority. Of the few who know that there are some religious people, life Quy Tam, over Five Precepts, Ten Good etc. ... This world will be established again. Eventually the good is a victory, not evil. Evil was oil Buddha Amitabha though his compassion for the boundary to the site of Bliss; but if people are still interested in the concept of self that depend on yourself, do not rely on power from the hundreds of thousands of Buddhas years is still in the womb of the Pure Land in the border area and other hard to be holy or meet them there.

Who of us also know that the "Apres la pluie, il fait beau", meaning "the bright sun after the rain," but also means that the rain will last indefinitely. Tomorrow does not mean close tomorrow, tomorrow than broken, but tomorrow's a long time. We Buddhists hope that tomorrow he come sooner to alleviate human suffering early and continuously implications.

There are many who still do not take prisoners heartless and blessings in this time, because they think the other suffering, it will come with others, not his turn, but in Kieu, Nguyen Du has expressed particular body Kieu's destiny is: "What is the par silver where no one." So in this time where we have nothing to hesitate about doing good and helping people save more lives. In "Death peace and joy of rebirth", University Professor Tulku Thondrop renovation definition of merit as follows:

"Some people bring offerings to the Buddhist temple incense a compressor, an oil droplet, a flower or even bring money into the Monastery of worship, or a school, build roads and bridges; to charity, serve in trade publications , helping the underprivileged, etc. ... all these things are like tiny water droplets that fall from space to ground, then from the ground will flow into the line, pulling out ponds, lakes, and rivers, streams, creeks . From the big rivers will lead other countries to flow to the sea was immense ocean. When the sea is no longer in the water again, the new initial droplets no longer be valid. "So, what merit is built over time and contain five months, not counting, not quantity. Only when the public has, and results have been discharged, then new to merit no more.

Almost all of us before and knows much about the suffering, to legacies of a man's life suffered so many misfortunes, but how to alleviate suffering, we still not get out of the autism, attachment of each person. While all of us who do not want suffering. Conversely we have the actions and words make others suffer. Not that we are irrational, since we only prove what his true self. So we show her as a person like that, but how to alleviate suffering, we have not released the attachment of the autistic individual.

The rich and the poor in the world today is too much difference. Persons should impart to the people unhappy. If so, the new life balance. Conversely any rich rich, the poor will always go on for each district. That is why we should not have a way out. Although the government and social agencies of many countries around the world have sought for a fair share of income through taxation, but this is the tip of the problem. There is basic kindness, it has not been fully expressed.

Material, it's just inanimate objects. Now we do not give them up, one day it will abandon us. This is also a balance of nature and matter. Material change position and the employer; human beings have changed the mind. After death can go from place to place high-low or vice versa. So that her grandparents used to say that: "What are they and where the rich three three one hard life" is.

The mind always exists over space and time and different circumstances. After the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March 2011 and then, CNN U.S. and a YouTube video projector horrific images of water level rise in just over two minutes in which all the sá, castles, boats, buildings, people etc ... has turned into soil and water ... then pulled down, plunge, where immense sea was endless. But the remaining two light streaks across the sky. That's a big black streak flying through the air and slowly dissolve into the ocean and a small white spots, from sea water and dissolved in humans when most students cross the hour was near. That is the mind of man depraved, sunken and liberate the suffering.

If people do evil mind goes automatically accept karma reincarnation temple newspaper, have relied on it to go black. If healing, the mind automatically shifting the white material to extraction born in the world more peaceful. What kind of going through the trial judge is going to be reincarnated as fresh data so unclear; should not need money radio career illuminates the scene. Then the judge will rely on the data made good places to go folk reincarnation. If at that time, relatives said in the realms of this world do good and avoid evil, such as saving lives, in the press served as the merit of good works, etc. ... it will be superior birth and death can about the world more peaceful.

And those who vow to birth in the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha, if not already on the high qualities, but also where they must demean need two things. That's right people lost your minds, ashamed of his sin had caused the old and need to improve intellectual property support the idea he had the ability to place of birth on the lotus womb and lie 12 lives in Lower Primary Lower delivery products then full merit, continue delivery of the higher realms to meet the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

To protect the environment on this planet, now we must show compassion to all things, including plants and animals. There are like our new life is longer. In contrast, our long-term survival in difficult historical period to come. Because of war, natural disasters, earthquakes and tsunamis leaving only those who know and know how to practice good and avoid evil. But the cruelty, lack of love for mankind would be no better place on this globe.

Not that the fortune-telling, but we know for sure that the world will be much more woes; if we did not stop the evil industry right now on this earth.

The earth was cracked sugar. From Haiti through Chile, to Alaska, and Japan to India, Thailand, Vietnam, New Zealand etc ... insecurity everywhere, everywhere is suffering and unhappiness. Course will be much more; if we did not stop the hatred, cruelty now.

Period of famine, disease and war was over and will happen again because North Africa is loud war just because of the tyranny, injustice, oppression. Asian region are tried and suffering to the suffering silently. Europe with the rich and the poor disproportionately. American disaster, cyclone, snow mountain, debt etc ... all and all just the result of centuries long ago we had the self-construction and smashing it over the atomic bomb Hiroshima, Nagasaki and around the nuclear plant on this earth.

The bottle cracked, patched, we can connect again. But the cracks are still there, but if the human mind cracking it what to back it rang? Although the Buddhist law, we understand, from our hearts have shown; but perhaps not strong enough as to amount penicelinen antidote with this illness severity reasonable? Each one let us answer this question for yourself, the result would probably be much better.

The priest brought the altruistic about preaching for the birth to help people suffering through the attack. This is also the compassionate heart of the monastic life is not separate families, which take people and units to address the human love was the answer. This is the secret use of the domain of monks in each season retreat.

This year 2011, director of colorectal rainy East Overseas UBCV in Australia, New Zealand will be held in July in Quang Duc Monastery in the city of Melbourne, personally I would contribute a few thoughts through the eyes reality for today's world. Who knows, will also be some who are aware of this issue to help himself out of the realm to rescue suffering further implications going all over this globe.

Hope so.
