This programme brings you new insights about contemporary Buddhist studies and how they are spread and applied in the world. Therefore we publish selected links from other internet sites which embed our Visual Dharmas with scientific essays and articles.  Questions are answered

In short and concise way : the aim of contemporary Buddhist studies is not to enlarge debates (already too much present in Buddhist world), but to point out the practical aspect of Buddhist studies: to apply Buddhist teachings in daily life and to move on toward realisation. In promoting contemporary Buddhist studies in modern world we have non-partisan (Riem ) approach, publishing interesting research / quotations from almost all Buddhist schools.

3.2. Questions and answers nutier France

Dear venerable  , please enjoy my questions , thank you . The blessed Buddha once said : The eye is not yours … forms are not yours . The ear is not yours … sounds are not yours . The nose is not yours … smells are not yours . The tongue is not yours … tastes are not yours . The body is not yours … touches are not yours . The mind is not yours … mental states are not yours . All states internal as external , physical as mental are empty of stability . Their nature is to arise and cease . Neither can they therefore ever be kept , nor ever owned by any body .Clinging to what never can be kept , is pain . Relinquishing is all , is therefore indeed happiness .
Q.245 – If eye, forms , ear , sounds , nose , smells , tongue , tastes , body , touches are not yours , do they belong to cosmic energy ?
No, they don´t belong to cosmic energy, but to human being.

Q.246 – As the mind and mental states are not yours , do they belong to God ?
Our senses do not belong to God.

Q.247 – As mental factors give rise to new consciousness , does the mind change afterward ?
May peace , happiness and wisdom be upon you always !
nutier

Mental factors are very much explained in the work the Path of purification – Visuddhi Magga. Thus you shall study well . This is precisely the path to achieve peace, happiness and wisdom.

V. HUMAN RIGHTS & GENDER EQUALITY : ✿♥✿♥

Millennium development goals:

 

 

HERITAGE OF MANKIND

DEMOCRACY & HUMAN RIGHTS

5.1 Introduction : in this programme which is in focus of present Dharma teaching, there are description (some more detailed and other less) about our promoting of human rights and Millennium development Goals (MDG). Let’s begin with Gandhi Jayanti – international day of non-violence.

asiafelix Thailand

October 2nd: Gandhi Jayanti (गांधी जयंती),Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi’s Birthday in 1869.
He was respectfully called Bapu-jee (बापू जी,Father of The Indian Nation).
UN General Assembly declares 2 October,the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi,
as International Day of Non-Violence/ Ahimsa,अहिंसा (since 2007).

5.2. Millenium Development Goals – Gender equality and empowerment of women

openbuddhistforum  on WOMEN IN BUDDHISM ❤☀INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN

“”Equality for women is not only a matter of justice — it is a political, economic, and strategic imperative. The world cannot make progress if women are denied the opportunity to fulfill their God-given potential. The United States will continue its commitment to advance the human rights of women and girls around the world.”
Hillary R. Clinton, Oct 1, 2010 extracted quotation from :Women: New UN Human Rights Council Mechanism to Eliminate Discrimination Against Women,
US Department”
( extracted quotation ). Read more on the links below :

Women: Remarks at Vital Voices of Asia Women’s Summit
Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:57:50 -0500

Remarks at Vital Voices of Asia Women’s Summit

Melanne Verveer, Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues

New Delhi, India, September 15, 2010 Extracted quotation : “Millennium Development Goal three on gender equality and women’s empowerment is critical to the realization of all the other Millennium Development Goals. Yet, redressing gender equality remains one of the most difficult goals.!… The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon named the former President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, to be the UN Under Secretary-General for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women and to head the new UN agency, UN Women. She will be a strong voice for women’s empowerment and leadership in this new powerful position. Former President Bachelet also happens to be recipient of a Vital Voices Global Trailblazer award. We strongly supported the creation of UN Women and we applaud the choice of former President Bachelet. This is indeed good news to improve the lives of women and girls around the world…. As Gandhi said, “We must be the change we want to see in the world.” You represent that change. I wish you Godspeed in all you do.”

5.3. Religions against extremists : one of the aims of our human rights research and promotion is also education against religious extremism. We can not say that there is no religious extremism in Buddhism _ minority of Buddhists who promote cyber net bullying are clearly religious extremists. See our Buddhist campaign against cyber net bullying (on the Heritage of Mankind blog).

From :World Wide Religious News Malaysia calls for moderation to fight extremists
Ali Akbar Dareini (AP, September 27, 2010)

United Nations – Malaysia’s prime minister called Monday for creation of a “global movement of moderates” from all faiths to marginalize extremists from all religions.”I therefore urge us to embark on building a `Global Movement of the Moderates’ from all faiths who are committed to work together to combat and marginalize extremists who have held the world hostage with their bigotry and bias,” the Malaysian leader said.

He said Malaysia, a moderate Muslim-majority country, is multiracial, multi-religious, multicultural and democratic. Mosques, temples, churches and other places of worship “coexist in harmony,” and although Islam is the official religion, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu and other religious celebrations are national holidays and celebrated as national events, he said.

52. posvet predstavnikov verskih skupnosti

Urad Vlade RS za verske skupnosti je v sredo, 29. 9. 2010, organiziral 52. posvet predstavnikov verskih skupnosti. Vodil ga je direktor Urada Aleš Gulič, udeležilo se ga je 27 predstavnikov 20 cerkva in drugih verskih skupnosti.

Uvodoma je sodelavec Urada Davor Lekić povzel temeljne točke odločbe Ustavnega sodišča, ki se nanaša na Zakon o verski svobodi (zakon). Ustavno sodišče je v postopku za oceno ustavnosti, začetim na zahtevo Državnega sveta, aprila letos odločilo, da se razveljavijo nekatere določbe zakona, ter da nekatere določbe zakona in nekaterih drugih zakonov niso v nasprotju z Ustavo Republike Slovenije, ob tem pa ni obravnavalo vseh členov iz zahteve. Obrazložil je spremembe, ki bodo v letu dni po objavi odločbe začele učinkovati in se nanašajo na registracijo verskih skupnosti ter na zaposlovanje duhovnikov za izvajanje verske duhovne oskrbe v bolnišnicah in zaporih.

V nadaljevanju so bili k razpravi povabljeni predstavniki verskih skupnosti, ki so predstavili svoje poglede na odločitve Ustavnega sodišča ter na sedanjo in prihodnjo ureditev področja verske svobode in položaja verskih skupnosti v Republiki Sloveniji. Izraženi so bili različni pogledi in stališča, mnogi predstavniki verskih skupnosti pa so izrazili željo, da bi bili obveščeni in vključeni v razpravo o morebitni novi zakonodaji na tem področju.

Urad je ob tem vse prisotne pozval, da svoje mnenje, ki so ga nekateri sicer že predstavili na posvetu, čimkonkretneje, osebno ali pisno posredujejo Uradu.

LAW about religious freedom in Slovenia:

After 3,5 years ! the constitutional court of RS send the decree which favoured the Law about religious freedom in Slovenia. The Law on religious freedom is in accordance with the Constitution of Republic Slovenia! At Buddha Dharma we actively promoted the demand to apply the Law of religious freedom in Slovenia. Majority of 20 Churches (including Catholic Church)  and religious community which were present on the panel discussion organised by the Government Office for religious communities on Sept. 29 , 2010, also supported the implementation of the Law on religious freedom . Present Government of Slovenia lead by Mr. Borut Pahor must start to immediately apply this Law in practice. The ombudsman of human rights in Slovenia support the implementation of the Law on religious freedom , as well as Iscomet network .

Present prime minister Mr. Pahor collaborated on the Dialogue III on Oct 1999 , on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Council of Europe . This symposium was organised by Buddha Dharma at the Congress centre Cankarjev dom , Ljubljana. The title of Mr. Pahors´s speech was : Tolerance as life style (Strpnost kot življenski stil). At that time (1999) the present prime minister was the leader of Slovenian delegation at the Council of Europe (Strasbourg).

According to the decree of the Constitutional court the Law of religious freedom must be implemented. Two minor changes must be applied until 6.6.2011. Buddha Dharma is against the attempt of the present director of the Office for religious communities, to make additional changes in the Law on religious freedom . Therefore we send our  initiative to implement the Law on religious freedom also to the Ombudsman for human rights and to other international organisations which promote human rights and civil society.

Buddha Dharma started negotiations for the agreement with the Government of RS in 2006 . On May 19, 2008 we obtained chart of agreement: this document was not precise enough, therefore we did not sign it (as Buddhist congregation Dharma Ling did ). As generally religious org.  we wish to sign the agreement with the Gov. of Slovenia soon.

BUDDHA DHARMA org. Comment :

ADVANCING DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS is very important for achieving Millennium Development Goals until 2015. We fully support President Barack Obama´s right efforts for the achievement of this goals and closely follow and support OFA Organising for America movement.
In Slovenia – EU we have Law on religious freedom (spring 2007) which after more than 3 years (autumn 2010) was not yet applied in practice by the state institutions ! Experts like the President dr. Danilo Türk aggree that Civil society (with hundreds of NGO) is under-developed in Slovenia and the state institutions are reluctant to co-finance generally beneficial – social – programmes of generaly beneficial organisations . There is little true dialogue between NGO and the government. This must be improved , to promote democracy , human rights and human values !

Human Rights : The protection of fundamental human rights was a foundation stone in the establishment of the United States over 200 years ago. Since then, a central goal of U.S. foreign policy has been the promotion of respect for human rights, as embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The United States understands that the existence of human rights helps secure the peace, deter aggression, promote the rule of law, combat crime and corruption, strengthen democracies, and prevent humanitarian crises.

5.6 Democracy, Human Rights, Refugees: Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Liu Xiaobo
Fri, 08 Oct 2010 15:55:56 -0500

Our sincere congratulations to Mr. Liu Xiaobo for NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2010 ! We demand that he and other political prisoners in China is immediately released.  China is 2nd largest economy in the world : human rights and the freedom of speech must be granted to all citizens in China. By writing the Charter 08 Mr. Liu did not break any law and by co.qwritting Charter 08 – demanding democracy and human rights in China, Mr. Liu is certainly not a criminal, as decided by the court. His imprisonment for 11 years ! is great violations of human rights in China. OM MANI PADME HUM May all be liberated from suffering. For this we all pray.
