This is an eternal law.\u201d &#8211; Gautama Buddha<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Buddhism, has a long and great tradition of Ahimsa (non-violence), and peace among \u201cworld religions\u201d. At this time, the world is on the brink of World War 3. There is an urgent need for Buddhists to lead a Global call for Peace&#8211; through balanced and negotiated conflict resolution in the Middle East. The wars in that region are embedded in a staged \u201cClash of Civilizations\u201d, involving monotheistic Judeo-Christianity on the one hand, and Islamic formations on the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Buddhist tradition of Critical Thinking, based on Cultivation of Right View (sammadithi) and Right Understanding; through investigation and analysis of the facts and events for oneself may be recalled at this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Through study of a subject or problem and development of Right Consciousness a strategy for Right Speech and Right Action to ameliorate a situation, whether local or global, may be arrived at, collectively, this time of global emergency, although individually we may feel weak and unable to do much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>The Buddha\u2019s message of Ahimsa or Non-Violence <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe world is \u2018millimeters\u2019 way from nuclear catastrophe\u201d in the Middle East, Russia has warned.\u00a0 Israel\u2019s US-backed attacks on Iran, which are illegal under international law, and counter-attacks by Iran, have already caused nuclear leakage and environmental harm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Buddha\u2019s message of Ahimsa and statement that \u2018hatred is never appeased by hatred but by non-hatred alone\u2019 is now more than ever relevant<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sadly, the so-called \u201cadvanced\u201d industrial and civilized Anglo-European world has supported the genocide by Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza and the extreme human suffering that the Palestinian people are subject to over the past 2 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">At this time US President Trump, has bombed Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities and threatens to do more harm&#8211; after moving troops to safety from America\u2019s Middle East military bases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The US is using the Diego Garcia military base in the Chagos Islands located near Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean to bomb Iran at this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Middle East and Indian Ocean is the center of global energy supply and a Third World war starting in the region could affect many debt-trapped countries in the Global South, including Sri Lanka\u2014which is the historical repository of the teachings of the Enlightened One who perfected and taught the Nobel Eightfold Path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Buddhism and Social Justice <\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Buddhism has a long tradition of <u>peace-making with Social Justice<\/u>. Peace-making without social justice is not sustainable and amounts to \u2018passification of populations\u2019 rather than genuine conflict resolution. It buries the problem, which resurfaces later. The ends do no justify the means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s non-violent resistance to end British Colonial Occupation of India was inspired by Buddhism. So too, South Africa\u2019s Nelson Mandela who led non-violent resistance to end Apartheid in that country was strongly influenced by Buddhism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">With the world on the brink of unprecedented catastrophe is it not time for Buddhist leaders and assemblies \/ congregations around the world to call for Peace with justice for the Palestinian people and an end to American and Israeli aggression?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Online Religiosity<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The setting up and use of extremist religio-cultural networks during the Cold War and intervening years has escalated in recent times, also through the staging of Culture Wars to divide and fragment historically plural and multicultural societies. This weaponization of world religion\/s as a strategy of warfare has been conducted by the same forces that promote wars and sell weapons and debt trap countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Simultaneously, the legitimacy of global religious traditions of peace have been eroded. In recent times, Israeli networks have set up Zionist Chabad Prayer Houses in Sri Lanka although there never was, and is no Jewish community in the county.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There are on-going attempts to convert people, once again escalate and weaponize Religion\/s, also through funding and using extremist religious organizations and groups, and de-stabilize a historically multicultural and multi-religious county to divide and distract citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This constitutes a National Security Threat of the highest order, especially given the history of Islamic State (ISIS), claimed terror attacks at Easter Sunday in 2019 which were staged to trigger \u201ccascades of violence\u201d in multi-faith Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Here, right understanding of the complexity and geopolitical economic dimensions of the problem and taking Right Action based on Right Understanding is required at this time to address this issue. Burying one\u2019s head in the sand and saying that we \u201csee no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil\u2019 is not a good option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Collective and Community-based Solutions with Right Understanding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Another world war with religious under-tones triggered by illegally nuclear-armed Israel backed by the United States would constitute a global environmental catastrophe. The United States and NATO has 750 military bases around the world to stage war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">While we may feel that individually we have no power to change things collectively we may. Sadly, Asian community culture and the search for collective solutions have been undermined and atomized by individualism and with people increasingly in their post-Covid-19 digital bubbles in the wake of Lockdowns and masking of truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Here, the promotion of on-line digital religiosity as a form of \u2018passification of populations\u2019 may give us pause. There has been an over-psychologisation and perhaps a Western individualist approach to fundamentally Social and Collective problems that are shared by all and warrant collective action and solutions. Asian Buddhist Societies have historically valued community over individualism, but local communities been eroded by digital colonialism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Right Action based on Right View and Right Understanding of What the Buddha Taught is needed at this time. We may be individually weak, but together, collectively, we may have the power to make a difference, if not change things for the better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Avoiding escalation of conflict in the Middle East and World War 3 would require non-violent global resistance based on Right Speech and Right Action arising from Right View and Right Consciousness \u2013 from a Buddhist Perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Appeal to Buddhist Leaders &nbsp; Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world.
