Awakening for All: Zazen Role: Saving All

 

Awakening for All: Zazen Role: Saving All

 

We are facing the global catastrophe of wiping all lives on earth any moment by a nuclear war. This could be done by one man due to national ego or a mad ego. Most people, however, are intent only on their egos. This is due to ego sin (selfish stupidity/sickness).

 

The Buddha depicted this as born blinds groping for an elephant and fighting for their partial findings. All problems and suffering come from self-centered short-sight and short-circuiting. Individual and national egos are the culprits for global extinction.

 

He found the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination as the universal truth/ethic to solve all problems and sufferings in nirvana (unconditioned peace, lit. no-wind, of karma) and awakening. Anyone can do the same for saving oneself, others, now from the extinction.

 

The practical way is to sit still, stilling karma with the triple poisons, settling in serenity/sanity, seeing the Dharma of all dharmas (phenomena), and to serve/save all with the triple learnings and a paradigm shift, savoring amta (ambrosia of deathlessness).

Notes:

  1. Nuclear wars, nuclear attack misinformation, nuclear mishaps, arms race have been averted by prudent judgements, advice, negotiations, etc., but nationalism still allow wars, nukes, and dictators to cause the global catastrophe any moment.
  2. “The Dharma (Norm/Law/Truth/Ethic) of all dharmas (forms/phenomena/ truths/ethics)” is Dependent Co-origination, i.e., all phenomena are interdependently co-originated on limitless causes and conditions (similar to the Law of Causality, but deeper and wider – beyond conventions, conceptions, objects, etc.). This means that we are interrelated with other beings (other species, elements, stars, etc.), and relatives to each other, and that we must therefore live together harmoniously and strive to make a wholly wholesome world to become harmonious, health, and happy.
  3. The Triple Poisons are desire, divisiveness, and delusion (of a self-same, self-sovereign self). The “Triple Only” are only me, only now, and only money (short-sighted views and actions, which make the wider world worse), which can be cured by the Triple Learnings of morality, concentration, and prognosis.
  4. The triple learnings are morality, integration, and prognosis (sîla, samâdhi, prajñâ). This is done by still sitting (zazen: sitting meditation), stilling karma (action with the triple poisons of desire, divisiveness, delusion), settling in samadhi (harmonious integration: nirvana), and providing prognosis to cultivate our volition (to action), emotion, and intellection.
  5. The practice of Zen (jhāna/dhyāna: meditation), the key and core practice of za-zen, sitting meditation, is to still karma, settle in nirvana(nir-vāṇa = ni-vāta: no-wind, of karma, see the Dharma, and serve and save all. This process is categorized in the Four Zen Stages and the Eight Concentration (samādhi) Stages (actually Four Zen Stages plus Four Concentration Stages combined, going together).  As shown in the Four Zen Stages thoughts, emotions (the representative five coverings: lust-desire, covetousness-malevolence, sloth-drowsiness, agitation-worries, doubts), and volitions (the representative four fluxes: lust, becoming/identification, views/dogmas, nescience/no witness, of nirvana) are stilled in this order.

  1. The solution to the global problematique, mutually related global problems such as climate change, mass extinction, nationalism, war, nukes, dictatorship, dogma, discrimination, pollution, and poverty, requires the global ethic (issued by the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1993 with more than seven thousand people from all religions and from all over the world attending), which is based on the Five Precepts (and the fundamental common elements in the Ten Precepts, the Ten Commandments, etc. of Buddhism, etc.). The Inter-Action Institute drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities (counterpart to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to be published at the 50th anniversary of its issuance) for the U.N. to publish, but it has been shelved for the time being.
  2. A paradigm shift from our artificial, unilateral pyramidal civilization to a natural, cyclical Indra-net life culture for sharing life, heart, and harmony with the five blisses (awakening, freedom, equality, friendship, and peace) is essential to solve the global problematique. Culture is the cultivation of our potential in truth, goodness, beauty, and holiness (cf. sciences, philosophies, arts, and religions).

一切の為の覚醒:坐禅 役割:一切救済

 

私達は何時でも起きうる核戦争によって地上の一切生命が払拭される地球破局に直面している。これは一人の人間の国家エゴまたは我エゴによって為されうる。殆どの人々は、しかしながら、エゴの罪(自己の愚昧/病患)の故に自らのエゴにのみ懸命にしている。

 

覚者はこれを群盲撫象の部分見の戦いとして描いて見せた。一切の問題と苦は自己中心の短見と短絡から来る。個人と国家のエゴが地球的破滅の張本人である。

 

彼は一切の問題と苦の解決を涅槃(無条件平和、字義は無風、業の)と覚醒で解決するものとして縁起の法を普遍的真理/倫理として見出した。誰でも同様に出来、今や自らと他を消滅から救うことができる。

 

その実際の道は静坐して、三毒の業を静め、寂静/正気に安住して、諸法(現象)の法を見、三学と枠組転換で一切に奉仕・救済し、甘露(不死の神饌)を味わうことである。

註:

  1. 核戦争、核攻撃誤情報、核事故、軍拡は賢明な判断、忠告、交渉などによって避けられたが、国家主義はいまだに独裁者が地球の破局をいつでも起こし得るのを許している。
  2. 諸法(形態・現象)の法(規則・法則・真理・倫理)は縁起(因縁生起)、即ち、一切現象は無量の直接原因と間接条件により相依生起するということである(因果則に似ているがさらに深く広い-世俗、観念、対象などを超える)。これは私達が他者(多種、要素、星宿など)と相依関係にあることを意味し、相互に相対的であり、私達が調和、健康、幸福になる為には共に調和して生き、全体健全な世界を作る努力をしなければならないことを意味する。
  3. 三毒は貪瞋痴(自己同一、自己主宰の我という愚痴)である。三だけは今だけ、金だけで自分だけということであり(短見・短絡行動で、より広い世界を悪化させる)が、戒定慧の三学はこれらを治癒できる。
  4. 三学は戒定慧(sîla, samâdhi, prajñâ)である。これは静坐により、業(貪瞋痴三毒を伴う行為)を静め、三昧(調和総合:涅槃)に安住し、般若(処方:知恵)を与え、知情意を修養する。
  5. 鍵となる静坐の実践は業を静め、涅槃(nir-vāṇa = ni-vāta: no-wind, 無風、業風の)に安住し、法を見、一切に奉仕し救済する。坐禅(静坐瞑想)は身体・呼吸・頭脳(身口意)業を整え静止する。四禅は、尋求、伺候、喜悦、安楽を静め平静 (upekhā/upekṣā, 字義は捨離)・涅槃に到達する結果の心的(知性・感情・意欲)業を静止する過程を表示している。

「今何故仏教か?」の4(涅槃)と5(禅)を参照:

6.地球問題群、地球温暖化、大量絶滅、国家主義、戦争、核、ドクサイ、独断、差別、汚染、貧困の様な相互関連した地球諸問題、は(1993年シカゴで世界中から諸宗教の七千人を超える人々が集まった世界宗教会議により発出された宣言)地球倫理を必要とするが、これは(不殺、不盗、不偽、不淫、不飲酒の)五戒(と仏教他の十戒の基本的共通要素)に基づいている。インターアクション協議会は(世界人権宣言の対応として、その五十周年に発表する様)世界人務宣言の草案を作り国連が発出するように提出したが今に至るも棚上げされたままである。

7。私達の人工的で一方向の金字塔文明から命・心・和の分かち合いによる五福(覚醒、自由、平等、友情、平和)をもつ自然的で循環的な命帝網文化への枠組転換が地球問題群を解決する為には必須である。文化は私達の真善美聖(参考:諸科学、諸哲学、諸芸術、諸宗教)における潜在能力を修養することである。
