Buddhism:
The Buddhist path is designed to reveal ever-deeper levels of reality.
We live in a pluralistic society. We live in a racist society, a
homophobic and sexist society; in addition, Buddhists of every color,
each gender, and all sexual orientations embrace the sectarian prejudices
that developed in Asia. |
We live in a society
that is pleading for us to put our shoulders to the wheel. We are also,
each and every one of us, whole and perfect as is, interrelated, essentially
non-separated, and equal. This, too, must be realized. If we forsake the
inside for the outside, it is not just Buddhism that is diminished but
the horizons for true social transformations as well.

| Dhauli
Giri(Shanti Stupa) Bhubaneswar:
At the base of Dhauli, where the approach road to the top begins
its incline, one can see on the left the Asokan rock-edicts, well
preserved under a large rock outcropping with a rock-cut elephant
head. The edicts are public injunctions, instructions from the emperor
to the local administrators to imbibe and adopt the spirit of justice
and compassion towards the people in all matters pertaining to the
civil administration. Two new edicts, pacifistic in nature, have
been added and the 13th edict, that glorified Asok's conquest
of Kalinga, is conspicuous by its absence. |
