Lord Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is the peace occurred from morality, concentration or mind development and insight meditation or complete wisdom.
1, Peace occurring from morality is peace of the world can be occurred from offering five precept, is not killing others not stealing the properties of these, not committing adultery, not telling fleas (lies) and not intoxicant such as Alcohol, Heroin or dangerous Drugs.
If many people or all people in the world observe this five precept starting the peace of the world would occur in the world, when the people violate this five precept the trouble stile remain in the world forever as we can feel in the permit time.
2. Peace occurs from practicing the concentration of the mind or mind development.All nations of the world have plans to develop their land in various ways and have targets for development to require wealth and strength, so that the people of the land can have happily and prosper. It is believed that development of the one own country is of the greatest important and most necessary for the government to carry out .One cannot just let it be if it is so then the country has to have plan of development.
In the Buddha’s teaching it is the same, because the lord Buddha had laid down the plan or method for development, but it is a way of developing the individual’s life and directly emphasizes mind development. For where the mind has been developed, the person is developed too.
Thus all kinds of development for welfare and happiness will be accomplished easily in including the welfare of all human beings. Then the world will be peaceful and happy without wars and civil disturbances. Humanity in all societies will be together in a friendly way having loving kindness (Metta) and compassion (Karuna) sympathizing with and helping each other. The more the mind is developed the greater happiness that will accrue to the world. But while the world is in great turmoil regarding polities, economies and society in general, as it is now most people are declined to develop material things, emphasizing today, rather than the mind. From this is born the state of permanent crisis in the world that apparently will increase with time.
Should there is no crisis in polities and economies, and then there would be no mental and nervous diseases among people especially in the great cities of the world. When compared with … time, we can see that in the today’s world there is much more modern technology that has been developed to increase human happiness, enjoyment and comfort. On the other hand, mind development has decreased considerably, at cast it refuses to keep peace with the former.
Thus it is necessary for people to be more aware of mind development, firstly developing their own minds and secondly, pointing out and making mind development known to human things. In the someway the nations try to develop his mind according to the Buddha’s teaching it is certain that would will have peace and happiness, a vast improvement over the current sate of world affairs.For peace and welfare of the world today I will introduce one way of mind development in the Buddha’s teaching that is “Metta” or loving-kindness for all worldly beings.
The cultivation of “Metta” or loving-kindness drivers away of anger and ill will. Therefore the development of loving-kindness would practice by all these who have anger or ill will. Standing one’s loving-kindness constantly is also an especially effective…of merit making and more meritorious than charity and serving the percept, as the Lord Buddha said that “Oh monks, if you stand your loving-kindness for just an instant, you are said to be not far from “Jhana” or absorption of the mind, being obedient and being my faithful followers. Thus you ware not the food which the people give you. It is not necessary to consider the merit of who stand loving-kindness for long periods.
This confirms that benefits of “Metta” or loving-kindness are great lives with only an instant of coextension. These bore if performed for long period of time, the benefits are inestimable loving-kindness is sure to bring peace of the world and to protect those who cultivate it constantly. Additionally a person with loving-kindness is also loved by all others. So we who hope to bring peace of the world and ourselves should always “Metta” or loving-kindness to all beings. Then peace will occur to us and they would constantly.
3, Inner peace occurs from developing the insight mediation or complete wisdom, that to from the mind the bondage mental pollution, that is greed anger and delusion by the way of Buddhist meditation practice. The direct way to get inner peace in Buddhism is to free the mind from attachment.
I have no time to point out the way to free the mind from detachment, but I will give some way to all of you that working with detachment. In this way of practice we should thinking that working is a peace of work, doing well for the sake of good, not for rank, or position, honor or any reputation not for ourselves these will make as worried. If anything’s is disappointing us we may have to do it with a feeling that we are do good for the sake of good, working for senses of work, working happily without hurry. Finally we have to leave everything in the world behind, although we do not want to die.
Anything important practice for get rid of attachment that is king in mind the Buddha’s saying “Everything should be not attached. Whenever we release it, we will be happy as it said. All thing should not be attached to as this suffering not happiness. The more we attach to them the more we suffer because of detachment one can always be happy. This is the end of my talk on religions for peace to all of you today. Thank you to every one of you who read my short articall.
I will stop my on the Buddha’s saying “Sabbe Satta Bavantu Sukhittata “ May all being be happy and have peacefulness of mind forever.
The End
