戰爭與和平 - WAR AND PEACE

縱觀歷史有許多好戰,

劫財掠地,生靈塗炭

造成萬刧不復的惡業,

還有獨裁專橫的統治者,

以武力對待人民的殘酷惡行,

導致人類浩劫。

歷史一再告訴我們 -

暴政必亡,必有邪惡的報應。


佛說 « 華嚴經  » :

« 萬法唯心造 ,心安一切安,

心亂一切亂。 »


我們必須戒除 -

貪(執著慾念)

瞋(偏執於反對的事物而產生仇恨、

憤怒、煩惱,造成錯誤行為與惡業。)

痴(不明事理的痴愚)

心靈才能平和。

遠離紛爭、避免戰爭。


耶稣:

 收刀入鞘吧!凡動刀的,

必死在刀下。」


天主教教宗方濟各譴責

轟炸醫院和平民等行徑「野蠻」

完全缺乏合理的戰略根據。

方濟各說:「以天父之名,我命你(俄)

停止這場大屠殺!(In the name of God ,

 I ask you: stop this massacre!)」

此外,教宗也警告,

烏克蘭各城市正面臨著淪為「大型墓地」的危機。


吾人進化時至今日

科學日新月異。

然而人心不古, 

不辨是非,無視倫理道德,

世風日益敗壞


人與人之間應相互尊重 

國際社會亦然,必須和平相處。

如果執迷不悟,未能思見歷史借鏡

消弭殘酷、暴力、仇恨、紛爭和侵略行為⋯

無法覺悟宇宙萬物一體的真諦,

豈非文明人類之恥辱與悲哀?


Throughout history, 

the over ambitious people 

advocate or attempt to stir up war

for great achievements, 

plundered the land, 

plunged people into misery and suffering, 

cause forever evil karma.

And dictatorial rulers 

use force to deal with the cruel 

and evil deeds of the people, 

cause human catastrophe...

History has repeatedly told us that 

tyranny will surely destroy the country.

The tyrants must have evil retribution.


Sakyamuni Buddha

 ( The Avatamsaka Sutra ) :

 « the myriad dharmas are made from the mind alone.

With peace of mind, 

we will have peace in life,

distraction is bad for everything. »


We need abstain from 

greed( insatiable desire )

resentment manifests and being paranoid 

in actions and comments for disagreeable things -

cause misbehavior and bad karma. )

ignorance  unreasonable, confuse right and wrong. ) 

for gaining  peace of mind.

Far from the dispute 

and avoid wars.


Jesus

« Put up again thy sword into its place: 

for all they that take the sword shall perish 

with the sword. »


Pope Francis castigates :

«  Faced with the barbarism of the killing of children, and of innocent and defenseless citizens, 

there are no strategic reasons that hold up :

The only thing to be done is to cease the unacceptable armed aggression before the city is reduced to a cemetery. 


With an aching heart I add my voice to that of the common people, who implore the end of the war. In the name of God, listen to the cry of those who suffer, and put an end to the bombings and the attacks!


Let there be real and decisive focus on the negotiations, and let the humanitarian corridors be effective and safe. In the name of God, 

I ask you : Stop this massacre! »


People nowadays are evolving 

and sciences is changing with each passing day.

However, people's hearts unlike early sages,

do not care about morality

fail to make a distinction between

right and wrong. 

The world is getting corrupt...


People should respect each other.

Likewise, international community must live 

in peace.

If we stick with wrong attitude 

and do not learn from history

committed to eliminating harsh, tyrannies, 

hatred, disputes and aggressive behaviour...

  • unable to realize the true essence of 

having the universe at one with us,

isn't it the shame

and sorrow of civilized mankind ?
