Respect and Tolerance尊敬与容忍

I will tell you a true story about my own experience for the last few days. I was pursuing my father not to work so hard for the least of his time, because his is 75 now and have high blood pressure. He wake up at 4am, prepared his own breakfast and go to work at 6.30am. Since I can't stop him, so, I decided to join him at work. At first, he wasn't happy about it, but, later he accepted what I did. At the end, I also try to accept and appreciated what he did for himself and also for the family at large. I understand his good will and the reasons he still want to work hard is to give us a bigger house to live in. I realize this is a beautiful intention of his; so, I try to change my view points and be more positive with what he want to achieve. In this episode of life, I adopt "Respect and Tolerance" as a theme, to call upon all of us to cultivate better mutual respect and understanding.

Equality and Peace平等与和平

Let us begin with discussion of Equality?. From time to time, I have pondered upon the meaning and importance of equality?, but I have yet to succeed in implementing this ideal in the real life. People often say, perfect equality does not exist in this world.? It is true that equality among all worldly occurrences is difficult to establish, yet we can start by strengthening our appreciation and understanding of equality within our hearts. For example; I use to pay more attention toward my father, like take care of his diet and well being. On the hand, I tend to neglect my mother, although I talk to her every week. I realize we should look upon the well being of others with the concrern and compassion, and we should embrace the ideals of equality respect whenever we encounter differences between others and ourselves. With this kind of thinking, we will really succeed in bringing lasting peace to this world.

Image
Follow others without seeking privileges.

Image
Respect one's career without being lazy.

Image
Conduct affairs without dwelling on personal opinion.

Image
Be positive, not depressed.

Image
The entire world will be much brighter and more wonderful.

Image
Brings much pride and joy to people.

One Truth For All 真理长存

Today, we live in a time when science and economics have produced so much wealth and so many marvelous inventions; it is hard to imagine what will come next! As we enjoy the benefits of our age, however, we must wonder how these material achievements are affecting the moral behavior of the world’s people. The life has become so complex, individuals are now more able than ever to choose their own version of reality, and to make decisions based on personal feeling or personal assessments of what is true or false. When people choose for themselves what is right and what is wrong, they too often are led into making decisions that have harmful consequences for both their own lives and the loves of others. In order to address this problem, I thought that we would use the occasion of this discussion to speak on the subject of “One Truth For All”. I hope that our words will inspire others to find within themselves the courage to live in accordance with the truth, and to establish within society rational and objective standards that must form the basis of any healthy group activity. I hope that this discussion will be a great success for us all!

Beautify human minds with equality.

Image
Beautify human minds with humility.

One should have perspicuous ingenuity.

Image
One should have impartiality.

One Truth For All

Deep truths are universal and they transcend the individual. Rational minds find solace in the truth because human reason itself is a reflection of deep reality. The proverb "I love my teacher, but I love the truth more," affirms that life has both a rational and a universal basis. There is but one truth and it applies equally to all of us. No one can stand above this truth, and no one can escape the consequences of turning away from it. Each one of us must discover this truth in our own way, but this does not mean that the truth can be changed or that we are free to reinterpret it as we like. When the Buddha said "Follow the Dharma, not people," he was saying that we must learn to base our lives on the eternal truth and not on someone's momentary interpretation of it.

Joy and Harmony

In this present era, mass communication is very accessible, and the citizens of our global village are travelling around the world extensively. Buddhism is also changing its traditional way by coming out of the forest and entering society, expanding the functions of temples to serve the community through involvement in families, nations, and the world. In order to promote harmony, compassion and friendship among the human race, more of Buddhist International Association should be establish. With more and more people embrace Buddhism, our life sure will change and there will be more joy and harmony in this world.

Image

Image
We have to change from being
passive to being active.

Image
We have to replace pessimism with optimism.

Image
We have to convert our aversion to

Oneness and Coexistence

How are we to increase our compassion and caring for others life? According to Buddhist sutras, we need to put ourselves in others' positions and ask ourselves: if they were in our situation or if we were in theirs, what would we do? By doing so we can then treat others with equality. When all of us treat one another with equality can this world not move closer to lasting peace?

Then, how do we establish an enduring concept of "Equality" among all life? The Buddha answered this question by telling us to treat others as we would want to be treated and to love others as much as we love ourselves.

When we are able to imagine that the conditions encoutered by others are our own and that all of us are truely equal, then lasting peace will slowly but surely find its way into everyone life. Peace will certainly follow.

If we can overcome our greed and ignorance, we will be able to expand our hearts until they are filled with compassion and caring. Mencius said, "To be happy alone is not as wonderful as to be happy in the company of others." Individual happiness is limited. If we can learn to expand our happiness to include the rest of the life of everyone, then we will learn a true and lasting happiness that will be with us forever.

Let us learn from the universality of space and the breadth of time to create tolerance and universalism here in everyone's life. If we can do that, we will succeed in making this world a place of equality and tolerance for all to live in peace!

Now let us pray that the Buddha's light may shine on us all. I wish all of you health and well being, and I hope this online discussion will be a great success for everyone!

Image
The foremost error in life is infringement.

Image
The foremost problem in life
is understanding right and wrong.

Image
The foremost virtue in life
is compassion.

Image
The foremost courage in life
is to admit mistake.

Image
Love as the New way of Life.

Image
Although forms are different in many ways,
the pure Buddha nature exists identically in everyone.

Image
Compassion is impartial loving kindness,
compassion is undifferentiated magnanimity.

Image
Compassion is harmony and respect
amongst living beings.

Image
Compassion is the foundation for
the road to Buddhahood.

生命之恩

Image
每天早晨你拉开窗帘, 橙色的阳光斜斜的照入房间...

Image
你深深地吸一口凉凉的空气, 沉沉的睡意尽都散去.

Image
雨后的早晨,树木更青翠,花草更艳丽!

Image
每天我们白白地享受,阳光,空气,雨水,
却从耒没有想太多。

Image
直等到某一天,气候太热,引发林火。
野火燎林,污染空气。天不降雨,干旱成灾。

Image
我们才惊醒:能享受这些资源,
并不是理所当然的,
维持和影响我们生存的条件太多太多。。。

Image
既然要生存这么不简单,
生命便不太可能是偶然的。

Image
如果是这样,存在的意义又是什么呢?

寻找生命的出口

Image
那一天,我看到了过眼云烟。

Image
人生中,每–次的经验都是前进的基石;
生命间,每–次的成败都是未耒的借镜。

Image
知足,是解脫欲望的妙方;
感恩,是擁有财富的法门。

Image
不为昨天困,昨天已过去;
不被明天迷,明天尚未至。
用心面对今天,天天都不困不迷。

Image
We can't do anything about the past;
and we have no guarantee for the future,
what we can do about now.

Image
The way of life is not a problem,
is the way we look at it.
