6、聚善缘而构建和谐
“和谐世界,从心开始”,“从心开始”的世界,不可或缺的是善良、道德、真诚、仁爱等无数积极、健康、向上的善缘。缔造和谐文明的世界不是某个人、某个家庭、某个民族、某个国家的事情,而是全世界、全人类的共同事业。一切都要靠我们自己,从身边的善事做起,从善行的感化中令他人感动做起,哪怕是一句关心的话语、一份微薄的施舍、一次善意的救助、一点爱心的支持,都会汇集成一条通向世界和谐的阳光大道。
佛教思想对于维护生态平衡、保护地球环境的意义,已经越来越为社会有识之士所倡导和弘扬。佛教重在人类解脱的精神境界,从直面人生现实的缺陷着手,透过现实的迷雾,探索心灵的脉络,最终体悟世界的真如妙理,拯救众生,改善社会,圆满人生。人类只有从心灵深处根植爱的种子,才能有春华秋实。“我们只有认真了解了天空,才能扎根于大地。我们只有认真了解了地球,才能使生命扎根于地球。我们只有认真了解了生命,才能扎根于生命。”同理,我们只有了解了生命,才能培育出爱心,只有拥有了爱心,才能热爱生命,才能不伤害任何生命。如果我们对包括自身在内的一切生命个体都保持平等和爱恋,无缘大慈,同体大悲,那么,世界将会变得更加美好。
在新世纪的曙光里,让我们打破愚昧、迷茫,消除自私、卑劣,追求平等、博爱,用深邃的智慧、高尚的人格、文明的生活,创建并维护美好的生命网络,让每一个生灵都生存在至爱的蓝天下、明媚的春光里。
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.
