Ahmadineja,
I did go into that website - buddhanet.net/e-learning/intro_bud.htm- and glanced through the writing by Mike Butler. It does not have the intuitive message that an Eastern Buddhist would communicate. I am surprised that you would prefer the explanation of a westerner in preference to a fellow Sri Lankan Hindu. But then that explains why you feel more for these Westerners than the local Tamils who are hurt practically everyday. [and my point is your argued `shared interests by a group theory and its common truth` has got nothing to do with Buddhism`s universal truth, as far as I know...] I then conclude that you do not feel connected to the International community as if the whole world was your country. To me essentially that is what Lord Buddha was saying through his own discoveries. Towards this he renounced politics and its glamour. But the monks in Sri Lanka are actively embracing politics and its benefits. Sinhalese have not been able to take the priests back to their homes - the one that Lord Buddha built. It`s alright for Hindus to be in politics because Krishna and Rama were Rulers by birth and continued to govern. love gaja |
