Together we determine destiny - Buddhist humanism offers a way for us to change the destructive path the world is on
In the 20th century humanity experienced a scale of mega-death not suffered since the times of colonisation.
The Lotus Sutra, the teaching in which the essence of Buddhism is expounded, holds that all people are endowed with the three inherent potentials of the Buddha nature—the innate Buddha nature, the wisdom to perceive it and the deeds to develop it — and therefore can attain enlightenment. An interlinked network of communities across the nation will have the power to shift society. When we plant our feet firmly in the actualities of the local community, we can develop all larger perspectives from that starting point.
Living with death in these past years has taught us that the daily choices we make can either empower and save our lives or can enervate us, weakening our life state.The grief of suddenly losing family members or being shut out from the things that give meaning to life is the same for people in any country; while the specific circumstances may vary, the tragedy in its essence is the same.
