6、聚善緣而構建和諧
“和諧世界,從心開始”,“從心開始”的世界,不可或缺的是善良、道德、真誠、仁愛等無數積極、健康、向上的善緣。締造和諧文明的世界不是某個人、某個家庭、某個民族、某個國家的事情,而是全世界、全人類的共同事業。一切都要靠我們自己,從身邊的善事做起,從善行的感化中令他人感動做起,哪怕是一句關心的話語、一份微薄的施舍、一次善意的救助、一點愛心的支持,都會彙集成一條通向世界和諧的陽光大道。
佛教思想對于維護生態平衡、保護地球環境的意義,已經越來越爲社會有識之士所倡導和弘揚。佛教重在人類解脫的精神境界,從直面人生現實的缺陷著手,透過現實的迷霧,探索心靈的脈絡,最終體悟世界的真如妙理,拯救衆生,改善社會,圓滿人生。人類只有從心靈深處根植愛的種子,才能有春華秋實。“我們只有認真了解了天空,才能紮根于大地。我們只有認真了解了地球,才能使生命紮根于地球。我們只有認真了解了生命,才能紮根于生命。”同理,我們只有了解了生命,才能培育出愛心,只有擁有了愛心,才能熱愛生命,才能不傷害任何生命。如果我們對包括自身在內的一切生命個體都保持平等和愛戀,無緣大慈,同體大悲,那麼,世界將會變得更加美好。
在新世紀的曙光裏,讓我們打破愚昧、迷茫,消除自私、卑劣,追求平等、博愛,用深邃的智慧、高尚的人格、文明的生活,創建並維護美好的生命網絡,讓每一個生靈都生存在至愛的藍天下、明媚的春光裏。
Spiritual environment protection and the harmonious society
Ven. Juexing
To highlight the theme of the 2nd World Buddhist Forum, “A harmonious world, a synergy of conditions”, is the way to resolve the different contradictions and conflicts in the world. It is the theme that represents the main trends of the contemporary society. The harmonious world could not be built up without a consciousness from the bottom of mind. The harmonious world should be sustained by protected spiritual environment.
一、The harmonious world should be sustained by protected spiritual environment
The result caused by the industrial economy and knowledge economy, has made a profound influence on the contradictions inherited in the human beings. We can pide the contradictions into three categories: contradiction between human and their ego, contradiction between people and the society, contradiction between human beings and the natural world. All the contradictions are caused by interests, the different regulation systems and the abused conceptions. How to adopt the correct relation between the spiritual life and the material life, interests between inpiduals and collective, relation between nations, relation between human and nature, and the different relations between nations, areas, cultures and values in different places, and, how to adjust the notions of people to relive or resolve the serious contradictions, are the most urgent problems we have to face.
Buddhism advocates the harmony of the society. A harmonious society should be based on people”s mind, a peaceful and kindness mind.
1、A harmonious society needs a peaceful relation between the human beings and the nature. The development of the human society relies on the nature. And the action taken by human beings affects the nature also. Human beings and the nature have the mutual relation, one can not survive without the other. But the relation has been damaged by the rapidly developed contemporary science and technology. The theory of Buddhist dependent origination has showed us that human will pay for all by themselves if they do not pay attention to the relation between human beings and the nature. And now, they have deserved what they have done to the nature with endless needs. The disharmony between human and the nature are derived from the greed mind of our human beings.
2、 A harmonious society needs a peaceful relation between different kinds of inpiduals in the world. A harmonious society is a kind of society that interests of different groups could be arranged suitably. All persons have the equal rights and abilities to gain the interests. Man should learn how to help others in need, know how to handle the difficult situation with others, know how to give respect to others and know how to trust others, etc. The peaceful relationship between different persons is the key point for a harmonious society. The notion advocated by Buddhism, boundless compassion and uncontainable pity, is the best method to set up a harmonious relation between persons.
