Our current Dalai Lama
is a high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of
Tibetan Buddhism. The name is a combination of the Mongolian word
далай (dalai) meaning "Ocean" and the Tibetan
word བླ་མ་
bla-ma (with a silent "b") meaning "chief,
high priest ...do you think that the Dalai Lama is for Peace and
can be called ours? and is there a...
Need To Know
Ours...because
not only is the (Dalai Lama), dedicated too his traditions, mores,
and ways, but also to world peace. 'I do believe My view and comments
are not and endorsement for the faith or belief in Buddhism, but the
belief in Peace not War. As a thought, if all our religious,
spiritual, ministers, rabbi's, imam's, popes, cardinals, bishops,
priests, priestess, prophets, and prophetess practice, live and begin
to usher us (Americans and people in the World) into the ways of
peace and harmony. How much War, and Military equipment would we need
to have, manufactured or purchased? If 'We the people in America, as
well as in the World thought in this way who would we fight and War
against. I wonder' first of all...
Why Should We
Continue
in the ways that only profit and promote the manufactures of durable
goods, equipment and armament, that create maim and destroy our race.
It is estimated that the U.S. Government will spent upwards to 57
billion dollars, to help care and rehabilitate Veterans who have been
wounded, from the Iraqi and Afghanistan Wars alone. Not to mention
those who have died. If the Dalai Lama, Popes of both Orthodox and
Roman Catholic faith declared war on War itself, as well as the other
super powers of this planet earth. What would happen if they
(collectively) requested all of us within that faith and belief were
encouraged too 'Get Up and Stand Up' that is to Stand up for
the right to have Peace not War Remember, as far as I know
there is not another planet earth waiting on the sidelines with and
option when we destroy this one. So I wonder are both of these
beliefs and actions a racket
Is Religion A Racket-Is War A Racket
If
you've wondered as I have
after doing some reading, as well as being a member of the U.S. Armed
Forces for more than 20 years. As well as the chance to go to war and
yes I have seen, experienced others (brothers and sisters) who have
been maimed, dead walking alive, sociological and psychologically
impaired in the mind due to War. So there are two ways a man can go
towards ...what he knows and the fear of change or something new or
better. Which can be mere speculation or altruistic in thinking,
would the Dalai Lama and other religious, spiritual and faith gurus,
of today agree to what I am proposing. 'A Declaration of Peace 'I
know that Jiddu Krishnamurti would agree. For (40) forty years or
more 'Krishnamurti, appealed to the United Nations leaders and
diplomats of the World. And reminded the (our) World Leaders, about
there unending, and senseless Wars. Can peace be as profitable as War
The Promotional Peace Appeal
I
can't really say that I know making Peace as oppose to War is a new
idea. My question is how do you on a personal level feel about
gathering all (with no exceptions), our collective faith, religious,
spiritual leadership, whether closed minded or free in thinking, in
belief and traditions. To declare, demonstrate and live in the ways
of harmony and peace. First of all ...by promoting and commanding a
Worldwide Peace declaration appeal to America and the World. Of
course many would or may say, this has been done and proposed. So is
this thought and appeal being altruistic, and frivolous. For even
thinking up some shit like this. To get all the faith, spiritual and
religions to command peace and to demand peace through issuing a
Peace Declaration. Jacque Fresco of the Venus project made a comment
that conjure up this thought for me. Mr Fresco stated that if just
the estimated 1
880,000 Roman Catholics alone began to demonstrate and declare a
peace appeal. I believe alone, would generate not only buzz but
results. However...
Hypocrisy
Prevails ...
We
are earthlings, humans and a race of people who have failed to live
in a higher order of thinking obviously. We in America have and are
promoted as one of the greatest democracy within this World. Many
American Catholics, Protestants and Non-denominational people make up
over half of the population and have been giving lip service to this
Peace on Earth and goodwill to all men. Is it being hypocritical, as
well as promoting this farce with just lip service, and have truly
failed to take any action it seems. Is this due to the chains of
consumer capitalist bondage that we desire, and submit too?
Is
it possible for the U.S. faith, religious and spiritual communities
to agree on a Peace Compact or Declaration. As opposed to a War
declaration agenda? That is what many of us within America have
promoted, by saying nothing that opposes War. I do believe that the
majority of leaders such as the Dalai Lama, and others who can come
together in one accord and begin to promote Peace. Things would
change I do believe... if given the support as oppose to a War
agenda. So why don't we do just that with a Compact and Declaration
for Peace. If more religious, faith and spiritual leaders
participated in the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) movement and began to
declare Peace in conjunction with the wealth disparities there would
be a change and more participation 'I do believe as well. So is
religion also a racket that is aligned with the Corporatocracies,
Plutocrats and and Politicians?
