Stop “state” delusion and madness and start “life” awakening and sanity! 「国家」迷妄・狂気を止め、「生命」覚醒・健全を始めよ‼

 

Stop “state” delusion and madness and start “life” awakening and sanity!

 

The Doomsday Clock is ticking closer to midnight, global doom, by Putin’s Russian invasion of Ukraine and the threat of nuclear weapons. Trump’s presidency had already advanced it to 100 seconds before midnight. The Doomsday Clock is ticking also by global warming, mass extinctions, population explosion, starvation, social disparity, natural disaster, nuclear power accidents, etc.

The human species is the culprit of this global problematique, these intertwined problems.  The state is the central cause of nuclear holocaust, nuclear war, nuclear accidents, wars, social disparities, global warming, mass extinction of species, etc., due to its malfunction by mistaken politics and policies. The Human Five Fictions of Self, Society, Status, Species, and Symbolism are its causes and conditions.

We must awaken to the danger of the “state,” which creates the pyramidal civilization for money, matter, and might with the Five Calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination with wars, colonialism, slaves, classes, etc. We must change it into the natural cyclical life Indra-net culture and cultivation for life, heart, and harmony with the Five Blisses.

We must abolish the means of strengthening the “state” such as nationalism, militarism, dictatorship, hegemony, etc.: national symbolisms (flags, anthems, etc.), discriminating events (Olympic Games with national identities, etc.), methods (honors, events, education, etc.), military allies, weapons (ABC weapons, arms races), dictators’ methods (constitution revisions, etc.) by laws and institutions.

Note:

  1. The Five Fictions of Self, Society, Status, Species, and Symbolism (made from Francis Bacon’s Four Idola of cave, agora (marketplace), theatre, species, with the addition of symbolism) are fictions made by human symbolisms of language, mythology, religion, history, etc. (as depicted by Ernst Cassirer’s Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, An Essay on Man, etc.).
  1. Ernst Cassirer’s “Myth of the State” tells the fictional nature of the “state,” which is enforced by many tools. The state can be categorized by Society in the Five Fictions, enforced by Status (honors, ranks, etc.).
  1. Please refer to the Paradigm Shift from the artificial, unidirectional, pyramidal civilization (urbanization, from civitas or citadel) to the natural, cyclical, life Indra-net culture (cultivation) for life, heart, and harmony with the Five Blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, friendship, and peace:

https://heiwasekai.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/%e3%80%8c%e6%9e%a0%e7%b5%84%e8%bb%a2%e6%8f%9b%e3%80%8d%ef%bc%9aparadigm-shift/?fbclid=IwAR2PEo9t4YwkwTSo4QRdVseqW08HeASD7orrenbOQLh181s72MAbV-WxkuM

  1. If we cultivate ourselves, stopping our karma, especially the Triple Poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion, we can awaken to the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, that all phenomena are interdependently originated on causes and conditions, and witness the fundamental delusion of Self as substance and sovereign, and Society (including State), Status, Species, and Symbolism.
  1. The best, direct, universal, practical way of cultivation is still sitting, stilling karma, seeing the Dharma, serving and saving all. Stilling karma, called nirvana (no wind, of karma), reveals the selfless nature of phenomena (due to Dependent Co-origination). This is typically expressed in the Four Limitlessnesses (also called Brahma-viharas, Supreme/Pure Living) of friendship, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Equanimity is nirvana (zero, no self, etc.), wherefrom we can understand the fictionality of the Five Fictions and Five Fictitious Bodies (of states, companies, religions, media, and education), and develop genuine joy, compassion, and friendship.
  1. Friendship is the universal ideal of all religions (from Latin, religare, reunion with holiness, wholly wholesomeness, from sin, separate selfishness) as seen in the ideal figure of Mitra, Mithra, Mazda, Maitreya, Messiah, et al. (future saviors, actually anyone’s potential to become true friends in need). We need to develop friendship beyond boundaries of Self, Society, Status, Species, and Symbolism (idola, idols, isms, ideologies, etc.), lessening national, racial, religious boundaries, etc.
  1. Nationalism, militarism, dictatorship, hegemony, etc. must by stopped by more universal laws like the Declaration of Universal Human Rights (and the Declaration of Universal Human Responsibilities, urgently needed), international laws, the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, etc., which are to be revised and revitalized for lives and life systems.
  1. State systems from city states to nation states, representative of a pyramidal system, is a thousandth of human history (nation states are one tenth of state systems), almost a millionth of life history, just 10 seconds at the end of the Cosmic Calendar. So, we can change them to take back more original state like the Indra-net state before state systems with wars, the danger of the nuclear holocaust.

 

「国家」迷妄・狂気を止め、「生命」覚醒・健全を始めよ‼

 

世界終末時計はプーチンのロシアによるウクライナ侵略戦争と核威嚇により真夜中、地球終末、へ更に近くへと時を刻んでいます。トランプの大統領職は既に真夜中前100秒まで進んでいました。世界終末時計は地球温暖化、大量絶滅、餓死、社会的不平等、自然災害、原発事故等によっても時を刻んでいます。

人類がこの地球問題群、これらの相互関連する問題、の犯人です。国家がその誤った政治と政策による誤作動によって核ホロコースト、核戦争、核事故、戦争、社会的不平等、地球温暖化、種の大量絶滅等の中心的な原因なのです。人間の自我、社会、地位、種族、象徴主義の五過誤がそれらの原因と条件です。

私達は、戦争、植民地主義、奴隷、階級等を伴い迷妄、束縛、差別、搾取、絶滅の五禍を持つ金、物、力の為の人工的な一方向的金字塔文明を生むことになる、「国家」の危険に覚醒しなければなりません。私達はそれを五福を伴う命、心、和の為の自然的な循環的命帝網文化と修養へ変えなければなりません。

私達は国家主義、軍事主義、独裁制、覇権等の「国家」を強化する手段、即ち国家的象徴(国旗、国歌など)、差別的行事(国家同定を伴う五輪など)、その方法(栄誉、行事、教育など)、軍事同盟、兵器(ABC兵器、軍備競争)、独裁者の方法(憲法変更など)を法律と制度によって廃止しなければなりません。

註:

  1. 自我、社会、地位、種族、象徴主義の五過誤(フランシス・ベーコンの洞窟、アゴラ(市場)、劇場、種族の四イドラに象徴主義を加えたもの)は(エルンスト・カッシラーの「象徴形式の哲学」、「人間」などに解明されたように)言語、神話、宗教、歴史などの人間の象徴主義によって作られたフィクション(仮構)です。
  2. エルンスト・カッシラーの「国家の神話」は多くの道具により強化された「国家」の仮構の性質を語っています。
  3. 人工的な一方向的金字塔文明(civilizationは城市civitas, 城砦citadelからの造語で都市化という意味)から覚醒、自由、平等、友愛、平和の五福を伴い命、心、和の為の自然的で循環的命帝網文化(修養)への枠組転換をご参照下さい:https://heiwasekai.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/%e3%80%8c%e6%9e%a0%e7%b5%84%e8%bb%a2%e6%8f%9b%e3%80%8d%ef%bc%9aparadigm-shift/?fbclid=IwAR2PEo9t4YwkwTSo4QRdVseqW08HeASD7orrenbOQLh181s72MAbV-WxkuM
  4. 私達が、自分達の業、特に貪瞋痴の三毒、を止めて、修養するなら、縁起(因縁生起の略)の法、即ち一切の現象が因(原因)と縁(条件)に依って相互依存して生起することに覚醒出来、自我が実体で主宰であると言う迷妄や社会(国家を含む)、地位、種族、象徴主義の迷妄を直証出来ます。
  5. 修養の最善、直接、普遍、実践的方法は静坐で、業を静め、法を見、一切に奉仕し救済します。止業は涅槃(業の、無風)は(縁起に依り)現象の無我の性質を啓示(明らかに提示)します。これは典型的に友愛、慈悲、喜悦、平静(捨離、放棄)の四無量(四梵住:四至高/清浄生活とも言われる)に表現されています。平静は涅槃(ゼロ、無我など)で、そこから私達は五過誤や五仮構体(国家、会社、宗教、メディア、教育)の仮構性を理解でき、真正な喜悦、慈悲、友愛を発展させることが出来ます。
  6. 友愛は全ての宗教(religion, ラテン語のreligare:再結合:罪:分離我利から聖:全体健全への)のMitra, Mithra, Mazda, Maitreya(弥勒), Messiahほかの理想的姿(未来救済者とされていますが、実際には誰でもが「必要の時の友」になれる可能性)の普遍的理想です。私達は、人種、宗教などの境界を少なくし自我、社会、地位、種族、象徴主義(イドラ、偶像、イムズ、イデオロギーなど)の境界を越えて友情を発展させる必要があります。
  7. 国家主義、軍事主義、独裁主義、覇権等は世界人権宣言(世界人務宣言は至急必要です)、国際法、国連、国際司法裁判所、国際刑事裁判所など、これらは諸生命と生命系の為に改定され更に強化されるべきですが、のようなもっと普遍的法により阻止されるべきです。
  8. 都市国家から国民国家までの国家組織は、金字塔組織の典型ですが、人類の歴史の千分の一(国民国家は国家組織の十分の一)であり、生命史の約百万分の一であり、(ビッグバン以来今日までを一年に収めた)宇宙カレンダーでは最後の十秒に過ぎません。だから私達はそれらを変えて、戦争、核ホロコーストの危険のない国家組織以前の帝釈網状態のような更に原初的な状態を取り戻すことが出来るのです。

Sacred Forest, 3

Sacred Forest

.

From Casa Santicchio to La Verna

.

The last day of our hike was from Santicchio to La Verna. We were lucky that the morning was still cloudy.

.

.

.

.

Bridge in the town of Rimbocchi

.

.

.

.

.

.

We had no idea about the meaning of this relief on a rock beside the path.  The devil? The rays of sun emanating behind him makes it even more intriguing. It could be a reference to a custom in this area we read about. In a specific night, children are sent into the forest with a little lantern for protection. They walk in a group and learn that by supporting each other, fear can be overcome. In this sense, I see this statue as a courage statue for overcoming fear.

.

.

.

.

This old, useless wooden ladder was just laying on the ground. It was so picturesque that I considered it as a piece of art.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

We walked on an old, stone paved road totally free of any traffic. During our entire hike, we did not meet any other pilgrims.

.

.

.

.

.

The forest changed to a spruce forest

We rested at this charming old stone house surrounded by flowers and hundreds of butterflies

The Buddha under the fig tree represented the feeling we had at this house –

absolutely relaxed and at the same time fully alive

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The path up to La Verna was steep and beautiful.  Sometimes the world of roots revealed itself.

.

.

.

.

.

The forest changed again to a mixed forest of spruce and beech with moss covering rocks, trees and roots. A friend told me that there exists up to 22,000 kinds of moss in the world. Due to humidity, Mount Penna is especially suited for the abundant growth of moss. I am not sure why I do love moss so much – maybe it is its simplicity and resilience. They only consist of stem and leaves and do not have roots, blossoms or seeds. They are survivors and can resist up to 30 years of draught without dying. When I see moss, it always is like a homecoming.

.

.

.

.

.

.

There are many caves on Mount Penna. In ancient times, the Mountain was a hiding place for thieves, as the caves and the wilderness provided protection form persecution. The name Mount Penna refers to the Mountain God Pen, the root of the word Apennine.

La Verna, the name of the Franciscan monastery, goes back to an Etruscan and Roman deity called Laverna, a spirit of the Underworld. She is the protector of thieves.

Chapel of Stigmata with a relief of the crucifixion by Andrea della Robbia. The sun and the moon above the cross refer to the Canticle of the Sun composed by St. Francis himself. In this song, he deeply praises the Creation and refers to fire and water as brother and sister. He composed the song in Umbrian dialect.

.

.

.

.

.

A rock near the parking place of the Sanctuary in the shape of a praying monk or –

by changing the location – a powerful dragon.

.

.

It was sad to say good bye to the Sacred Forest and also to my sisters. We experienced an almost sacred bond between us with a lot of laughter about our specific peculiarities and patterns.

.

.

.

.

.

Back in Austria after a night train ride from Venice to Vienna

.

.

Two days later, we finished our pilgrimage in the medieval town Duernstein, a place close to where we grew up. Only 63 years after St. Francis died (1289), the Poor Clares  established a convent in Duernstein and built a church (1330). Now it is part of the Hotel Richard Loewenherz. We had champagne in the former garden of the convent and enjoyed a delicious dinner afterwards. In the choir of the former Gothic church is still a fresco depicting St. Francis. Unfortunately, it was not accessible this time -I had seen could it years before).

we each found our right place and role in life

Sacred Forest, 2

Badia Prataglia to Casa Santicchio

It takes about 8 hours to walk from Badia Prataglia to La Verna. However, we decided to break it into two parts and booked a place in Casa Santicchio a bit off the main trail. It was wonderful not having to rush. The forest changed, the beech trees disappeared and made place for oak trees, juniper shrubs and mulberry trees. Sometimes, a sweet chestnut tree was spreading its branches down the hill, just making us aware of its presence. Vibrant yellow brooms filled the air with a sweet smell like jasmine. The whole area was a paradise for butterflies.

.

.

.

.

.

.

We hiked at an elevation between 800 and 1000 meters. Most of the time the path was covered by canopies of trees which kept us from becoming really hot.

.

.

.

.

.

In one point, it rained. The warm rain was actually refreshing.

We stayed in a former farm house built in the 18th century called Casa Santicchio. The recent owners bought the place after it was abandoned for 30 years and made it into a gem. The amazing thing was that they lived in Milano before and were city people. I admired their courage.

Self-made sauna (barrel) with pools in front of Casa Santicchio. In the distance, covered in clouds, you see Mount Penna, the goal of our next day.

We slept in a room used by the farmer as a school room for their 11 children. We were told that the teacher walked up each day from the village Rimbocchi to teach the children.

.

.

.

..

.

Laura was a great cook and made delicious vegetarian food for us. Normally, the place would have been filled with pilgrims. However, due to Covid, the group scheduled to be here at the same time we were here, had to cancel. We had the entire place to ourself.

.

.

.

.

.

Eggplant overbaked with cheese, hummus mixed with red beets, pea spread, fennel mixed with bread crumbs, red pepper and cooked cabbage – delicious! Simple red house wine from Tuscany added to the feast.

.

.

.

.

.

The stem of the oak tree was bent when it was young in order to form a fence.

.

.

.

.

In former times, farmers built stone walls to free their fields from rocks and make terraces for their fields of potatoes, chickpeas and other crops. Now the terraces are of no use anymore and the forest took them over.

Sacred Forest, Travelog by Garyo

Again we have a opportunity of hearing and seeing Garyo’s wonderful travelogue with a lot of beautiful and interesting pictures in searies:

Sacred Forest

The Parco Nazionale Foreste Casentinesi in Tuscany (south of Florence) is hardly known outside of the country, despite being the largest national forest in Italy. I heard about it on my St. Francis pilgrimage several years ago, but had not much information about it. When we looked for a four-day hike as a birthday present for my sister Christi, we decided to walk the ancient pilgrimage route from Camaldoli to LaVerna in this national park on a stretch called “Sacred Forest”.

A night train took us from Vienna via Venice to Arezzo, a medieval town of exceptional beauty and history. Arezzo is the birthplace of the famous poet Petrarca and the Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca lived and worked there.

Train station in Venice Mestre. The sitting posture already reveals that we are sisters

Piazza Vasari in Arezzo

Sipping non alcoholic cocktails in one of the many cafes on Piazza Vasari

It was nice to revisit the same Café in Arezzo I discovered several years ago.

We took a taxi to Camaldoli (about one hour ride), a tiny village consisting of two hotels, one monastery and a post office. We stayed in the hotel “Locanda dei Baroni”. The wooden floors of the charming hotel were full of life. Every step on the old, wooden panels made a sound as if they would whisper, “for hundreds of years, pilgrims visited this place before you. Be aware of their presence!”

A powerful, moss patched tree spread its branches over the restaurant garden and was also visible from our room, connecting us with the sacred forest even from inside.

View of the inner court of the monastery

Before dinner, we hiked for one hour on a steep mountain trail to the hermitage. It was here that my sister realized her backpag might be too heavy for the trek. Fortunately, she could send some of her things back home the next day from the local post office.

The beauty and silence of the forest already revealed itself on the first day. I loved the three simple crosses, a symbol of overcoming duality. The name “Sacred Forest” refers to the stigmata St. Francis received in La Verna in 1124.  We were told that the entire forest between Camaldoli and La Verna was illuminated by white light for one week.

About 1000 years ago, the Benedictine monk St. Romualdo was fascinated by the beauty of this forest and decided to build a refuge for pilgrims and wayfarers on a clearing. It became a hermitage for monks who follow a monastic order concerned with the conservation of nature and the environment. The “Codici Camaldolesi” (1080 AD) includes guidelines for good forestry, as a healthy forest is considered an integral part of the life of the monks.

In the Spirit of Camaldoli based on St. Romualdo, the monastery sees itself as a bridge between East and West, fostering the dialogue between all kind of spiritual traditions and making room for everybody who sincerely is looking inward.

There are two options to walk to Badia Prataglia and we decided for the longer route, which allowed us to visit the hermitage again. We arrived there about 11am the next morning.

Christi buying “medicine” (nut brandy) and Cantuccini for our walk.

The shop was a former pharmacy.

“Medicine” for the stomach

The Hermitage is in an immaculate condition, consisting of an outer part with access to the former pharmacy and an inner part, where visitors can see the cell of St. Romualdo, a garden and the church. The monks live in little houses with a garden enclosed by a wall. This area is not accessible for visitors.

The hike to the next village, Badia Prataglia, was a leisurely hike through a beech forest free of all undergrowth.

I was fascinated by the moss patched roots.

Sometimes we passed huge fields of ferns 

nearly as tall as we were

View to Badia Prataglia

In Badia Prataglia we stayed in a nice bed and breakfast place and went for an evening stroll through the town. Here, we discovered a grotto called “Grotto of our Lady of Lourdes” created by a priest in 1939 who believed that it was Mary who miraculously saved his life twice.

Dam MAD!   狂気帰郷!

Dam MAD

MAD is the acronym for Mutual Assured Destruction, meaning that a nuclear war will be assured destruction for both of the warring sides and even doom for the whole world. Putin with his invasion war and nuclear threat is causing mass murder, torture, rape, and disruption of the world economy, and there is even the dreaded possibility of mass starvation. What is the solution to avoid the world’s doom by MAD?

Selfish, anti-social gangsters can be controlled by laws and institutions, not by arming individuals and groups. Similarly, the global community must solve the problem of selfish, anti-social gangs (dictators, dominators, terrorists, et al.) by renewing international laws, the UN, the ICJ, the ICC, etc., not by increasing national military powers and military leagues. Everyone should be equally protected and prosecuted.

Regional communities can control and eliminate anti-social organizations and their weapons so that everyone can live in peace. Similarly, the global community must lessen nukes and arms, abolish war, and prevent the possibility of the world’s doom by nuclear war. All resources should be used for peace, eco, and life in order to accomplish the Treaty of Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and to solve many problems like global warming, etc.

The human race survived and developed by making groups. From families, clans, tribes, race, and nations to now a global community we must advance and solve problems. Transcending “the Century of Nationalism and War,” the 21st century must be “the century of the globe and peace.” For that purpose the Japanese peace constitution must be promoted and we should dam the flow of MAD, directing our resources to the preservation of the original life of the world as one family.

July 1, 2022 C.E.

Note:

  1. We should not make mini-max mistakes, much less the mistake of misconception or delusion of the self, society, status, state, and symbolism [the Five Fallacies, made into the five Ss adding symbolism to the four idola (idolized, idols) of cave, agora (marketplace), theatre, and race, conceived of by Francis Bacon]. These are all fictitious fabrications by symbolism as stipulated by Ernst Cassirer in his Philosophy of Symbolism, An Essay of Man, The Myth of the State, etc.
  1. We should not blindly believe the myth of the state. Dictators delude the people to patriotism, to wage wars with weapons, even to nuke the whole world to its end. No one should blindly believe in dictators, states, wars, nukes, violating the universal law (Dharma: truth/ethic: global ethic), human rights (to life, living in peace, equality, freedom, friendship, etc.). No one should blindly believe in the other four Ss of the Five Fallacies, which also damage oneself and others.

狂気帰郷

「狂気(MAD)」は「相互確実破壊(Mutual Assured Destruction)」の頭文字で「核戦争は確実に共倒れ、又は世界破滅」を意味します。プーチンは核威嚇侵略戦争で大量虐殺・拷問・凌辱・破壊をし世界経済を混乱させ大量餓死の恐れが出ています。狂気による世界終末を避ける方法は如何に?

利己反社ヤクザは個人や集団で武装するのでは無く法律制度で取り締まれば良い。同様に地球共同体は各国軍拡や軍事同盟をするのでは無く、国際法と国連・国際司法裁判所・国際刑事裁判所等の法律制度を更新して利己反社を解決すべきです。誰もが平等に権利を得義務を問われるべきです。

反社組織や武器は無くして皆が安心して暮らせるようにするのが地域共同体の役目です。同様に地球共同体は核・軍備を縮小し戦争を無くし、核戦争による世界終末を無くするべきです。核禁条約を完遂し、地球温暖化など多くの問題の解決の為に全資源を平和・環境・生活に向けるべきです。

人類は集団で生き残り発展して来ました。家族、氏族、部族、民族、国家から今や地球共同体として問題を解決すべきです。「国家と戦争の世紀」を超えて21世紀は「地球と平和の世紀」にすべきです。その為に日本の平和憲法を推進し、世界が一家族として本来の生命に帰郷すべきです。

2022共通年7月1日

  1. 私達は大小過誤をすべきではありません、まして自我、社会、地位、国家、象徴主義[これら五過誤はフランシス・ベーコンの四イドラ(偶像化:偶像)の洞窟、アゴラ(市場)、劇場、人種に象徴主義を加えて5Sとしたもの]の誤解や妄想をすべきではありません。これらはすべてエルンスト・カッシラーがその「象徴の哲学」、「人間」、「国家の神話」などで指摘された象徴主義による仮構の捏造です。
  2. 私達は国家の神話を妄信してはなりません。独裁者達は人々を欺瞞して愛国主義者にし、武器をもって戦争を強行し、全世界をその終末へ核破滅さえします。誰も普遍法(Dharma: 真理・倫理:地球倫理)、(生命に対する、平和・平等・自由・友愛などで生活する)人権に違反して、独裁者、国家、戦争、核を妄信すべきではありません。誰も自分と他者を損壊する五過誤の他の四つのSも妄信すべきではありません。

What Should We Do to Avoid Global Catastrophe?                      私達は地球破局を避ける為に何を為すべきか?

What should we do to avoid global catastrophe?

The Doomsday Clock is ticking closer to the doom of the world as a result of Putin’s Russian invasion war, with nuclear threat, from the previous 100 seconds before midnight when Trump became the president of the U.S. The most urgent need is to avoid nuclear war and an increase in nuclear arsenals. Nuclear holocaust can happen at any moment due to madness, miscalculation, mishaps, terrorism, etc. We have other problems to deal with as well to avoid doom: global warming, mass extinction of species, militarism, dictatorship, starvation, pollution, poverty, expansion of the difference between the poor and the rich, etc.

All these problems come from artificial unidirectional pyramidal civilizations desiring for money, matter, and might with the Five Calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination. Civilization (= urbanization, from civitas, city or citadel with walls for wars, etc.) has advanced societies, sciences, technologies, etc., with problems from five millennia of Social Revolution. The root of them is the delusion of the self as substance and sovereign, which leads to desire and divisiveness (Triple Poisons), which came from human karma (action, habit, heredity), which evolved through four billion years.

The solution is in a paradigm shift from civilization to a natural, cyclical, life-oriented Indra-net culture for life, heart, and harmony with the Five Blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, friendship, and peace, a Spiritual Revolution initiated by Religions (from religare: reunion with holiness: wholly wholesomeness). Religions have provided ethical rules and now a Global Ethic for all to follow. The global problematique must be solved globally in holy truth, goodness, and beauty of life, heart, and harmony beyond race, religion, nation, ideology, etc., which are sectional, secular, and sammuti (convention / fictition).

So long as we have nuclear weapons and power plants, we cannot avoid mishaps and miseries caused by them with nuclear holocaust and radiation. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is now in force with more nations joining it. The nuclear deterrence theory is negated by the Russian invasion war with its veto power at the U.N. Security Council. The global community needs to abolish nukes, wars, militarism, dictatorship, domination, etc., with a renewed U.N. and its charter, and it needs enforcing systems as well as a Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities. In this all people must participate in awakening and actions.

Note

1.Please refer to a Paradigm Shift from Pyramidal Civilization to Life Indra-net Culture:

2.Awakening in nirvana is possible for anyone by still sitting, stilling karma (= nirvana, stilling the Triple Poisons), seeing the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, serving and saving all.

5. If we understand the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination well enough, we can understand the                ultimate truth of the Five Fictions of Self, Society, Status, Species, and Symbolism and of the Five                Fictitious Bodies of nations, corporations, religions, media, and education. We can thus shift from              ego to eco, sin to holiness, karma to Dharma, Civilization to Culture, etc.

6. The Dharma of Dependent Co-origination is essentially equivalent to the causal law modern                        natural  sciences employ as the basic rule in study and application. The important difference                      between them is that the former stresses limitless conditions and their effects on the usually-taken            linear cause and effect, and applies it to subjects of change, normally applied only to objects in the            latter. The Indra-net, whose crystal balls on all knots reflect all other crystal balls limitlessly,                        illustrates the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination. We must change in the changes we want, as              Gandhi said. We must awaken and act in the shift from ego to eco, sin to holiness, etc., actively                  engaged with others. We can start ourselves, our local, regional, national, global communities,                    organizations, networks, SNSs, media, etc. to change, co-work, interconnect, decrease, and abolish             nukes, wars, dictators, etc.

7. Religions provided the ethical rules like the Five or Ten Precepts, the  Ten Commandments, and the             Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1993 issued a Global Ethic (with the four                           directives from the four of the Five Precepts (no killing, no stealing, no lying, and no sexual                         misconduct, rephrased into equal cooperation between women and men) requesting U.N. to                     publicize the Universal Declaration of the Human Responsibilities as a counterpart of the                             Universal Declaration of the Human Rights.

8. “Global Problematique” means the intertwined global problems of global warming, mass extinction of species, etc.

9.   U.N. should be renewed by making it more equal (by population), changing the Security Council’s permanent membership and the veto power of the past five united (allied) nations, etc., and strengthening the International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court, with powers of prosecution.

10.  Any one living being is a creation, sustenance, and cessation of the whole world since its creation, unique and irreplaceable, valuable and equal, thus no one has the right to kill, harm, etc., much less annihilate all beings in the world into its doom. That’s why we must abolish nukes, wars, dictatorship, etc., avoiding the blind belief in the Five Fictions, the Five Fictitious Bodies, etc.

私達は地球の破局を避ける為に何を為すべきか?

私達の世界終末時計はトランプが米国の大統領になった時に真夜中まで100秒前になった時からプーチン・ロシアが核威嚇をして侵略戦争をした結果世界終末まで更に近くへと時を刻んでいます。最も緊急に必要なことは核戦争と核武装の増加を避ける事です。核ホロコーストは狂気、誤算、事故、テロなどにより何時でも起こり得ます。私達は終末を避けるべきものは他にも、地球温暖化、種の大量絶滅、軍事主義、独裁主義、飢餓、汚染、貧困、貧富格差拡大など、があります。

これら問題の全ては金・物・力を求めて迷妄・束縛・差別・搾取・殺戮の五禍を伴う人工的一方向金字塔文明に由来しています。文明(=都市化、戦争の為等の壁を持つ都市・城砦に由来)は社会、科学、技術等を発展させた社会革命の五千年の問題を持っています。それらの根源は実体・主宰である自我という迷妄であり、それが欲望と差別(合わせて貪瞋痴三毒)に導きますが、それは四十億年の新化による人間業(行動・習慣・遺伝)に由来しています。

解決は文明から、宗教(religion: 聖:全体健全との再結合:religare

に由来)に始まる精神革命の。命・心・和の為に覚醒・自由・平等・友愛・平和の五福を伴う自然的循環命帝網文化への枠組転換にあります。宗教は倫理規則を持ち今では地球倫理を持っています。地球問題群は部分的、世俗的、世間合意(俗諦・仮構)の人種・宗教・国家・主義等を超えた命・心・和の聖(全体健全)なる真善美により地球的に解決されなければなりません。

核兵器と原発を持っている限り私達は核ホロコーストと放射能を伴うそれらの事故と惨禍を免れることは出来ません。今や核兵器禁止条約が発効し更に多くの諸国が参加しています。核抑止論は、ロシアの侵略戦争と国連安全保障理事会の拒否権により、否定されました。地球共同体は、国連とその憲章を更新し、その執行力を強化し、世界人務宣言を必要とし、核、戦争、軍事主義を廃絶する必要があります。その為に全ての人々は覚醒と活動に参加しなければなりません。

1. 金字塔文明から命帝網文化への枠組転換についてはこちらをご覧ください:

https://heiwasekai.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/%e3%80%8c%e6%9e%a0%e7%b5%84%e8%bb%a2%e6%8f%9b%e3%80%8d%ef%bc%9aparadigm-shift/?fbclid=IwAR2PEo9t4YwkwTSo4QRdVseqW08HeASD7orrenbOQLh181s72MAbV-WxkuM

2. 涅槃における覚醒は静坐により、業を静め(=涅槃:三毒を静め)、法を見、一切に奉仕し救うことは誰にもできます。

3. 私達が十分良く縁起の法を理解すれば自我、社会、地位、種族、象徴主義の五仮構と国家、企業、宗教、メディア、教育の五仮構体の究極的真理を理解できます。

4.涅槃での覚醒は誰でも静坐、業静止(=涅槃、静三業)、縁起法を見、一切に奉仕し救うことで可能です。

5.もし私達が縁起法を十分に理解するなら、自我、社会、地位、種族、象徴主義の五仮構や国家、企業、宗教、メディア、教育の五仮構体の究極の真実(真諦)を理解することが出来ます。こうして私達はエゴからエコへ、罪から聖へ、業から法へ、文明から文化へなどの転換をすることが出来ます。

6. 縁起法(因縁生起の法は本質的には現代諸科学が研究と応用に使用する因果法と同等です。両者の重要な違いは前者が、後者において通常は直線的に原因(因)-結果を理解するのに対して、結果に対する無限の条件(縁)を強調することであり、後者が客体(対象)だけに適用するのに対して、主体(自分)に適用することです。網の結び目の水晶球が無限に他の水晶球を反映する帝釈網は縁起法を例示しています。ガンジーが言う通り、私達は希望する変化の為に自ら変わらなければならなりません。私達は行動して他者と関わり、エゴからエコへ、罪から聖へ等への転換において覚醒し活動しなければなりません。私達は自分達、地方、地域、国家、地球の共同体、組織、ネットワーク、SNS,メディア等と関わり、協働し、繋がり、核、戦争、独裁者などを減らし、廃絶するよう始めましょう。

7. 宗教は五戒、十戒、十戒(命令)など倫理規則を持っていましたが、1993年シカゴにおいて世界宗教   会議は五戒(不殺生、不偸盗、不妄語、不邪淫は男女平等協力と変えて)を(誰でも守るべき)五教令からなる地球倫理宣言を発出し、国連に世界人権宣言の対応物として世界人務宣言を発布するように要請しました。

8.「地球問題群」は地球温暖化、種の大量絶滅などの相互関連する地球の諸問題のことを意味します。

9. 国連はそれを(人口により)更に平等にし、安全保障理事会の旧連合国である常任理事国とその拒否権を変える等をし、国際司法裁判所と国際刑事裁判所とその執行力を強化するなど更新すべきです。

10. 如何なる生物も全世界の創世以来の創造、維持、停止物であり、独特で代替不能であり、価値あり、平等であり、それ故誰も殺し、害する権利は無く、ましてすべての存在物をその世界から破滅させ終末に至らせることなど在ってはなりません。それ故核、戦争、独裁主義等を廃絶し、五仮構や五仮構体を妄信してはならないのです。

Nuclear Weapons – A Time-Lapse History:

Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

What should we not do to save the world?   私達は世界を救う為に何を為すべきでないか?

What should we not do to save the world?

Every day we watch the atrocities in Ukraine on the TV news, etc.; worry about material shortages, price rises, and starvation; and fear nuclear war, etc. Putin’s Russian invasion war made all the world increase its military powers and allies and even build up and tie up its nuclear weapons, hampering resources and measures to counter global warming, mass extinction of species, social problems, etc.

States (from city states to nation states) started wars with weapons and now with nukes. States’ selfishness is the cause of wars. Selfishness starts from our karma, especially its Triple Poisons, which made the survival instinct of the nescience of the “self” as substance and sovereign against the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, i.e., all are interdependently originated, thus related and relative.

The solution to selfishness (sin means separation from all) is in reunion with holiness (wholesome whole). Religions (from religare) reunited tribes, nations, worlds, offering the Dharma (Dao, Deva, Dei, Law, etc.: truth/ethic: Five/Ten Precepts, Ten Commandments, etc.). The Five Precepts were adopted in the Global Ethic issued by the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1993.

No killing, no stealing, no lying, and cooperation (four directives of the Global Ethic) to keep life and living are universally accepted anyplace in the world. If all observe them and are punished for violations of them, and if all avoid any means for them, there would be no wars, nukes, or shooting sprees. We must awaken to the fiction of the self, states, wars, weapons, and nukes, the nightmares of karma.

June 24, 2022 C.E.

Note

  1. The first four of the Five Precepts guarantee life potential, material bases, societal stability, and gender and generation relations: No killing is to guarantee life’s potential full blooming, otherwise all possibilities are denied. No stealing is to guarantee material support for life and living. No lying is to guarantee social stability on mutual trust. No sexual misconduct is to guarantee a good transition to future generations.
  2. The four directives of the Declaration of a Global Ethic paraphrase the Five Precepts:i  the culture of no violence and respect for lifeii the culture of solidarity and an equitable economic orderiii the culture of tolerance and true livingiv the culture of the partnership between women and men
  3. This declaration was presented to the U.N. to be employed as the Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities as a counterpart to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As Gandhi said that the Ganges of rights comes from the Himalaya of responsibilities, the Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities must be issued immediately, clarifying that all should not kill, steal, lie, and discriminate in continuing generations. Anyone violating these should be caught and prosecuted regardless of race, religion, gender, generation, position, possession, etc.
  4. Our societies advanced from family, clan, tribe, race, nation, and now must become global beyond nation states, which cause wars, nukes, etc. The United Nations was established by the united (allied) nations against the axis powers with charters that reflect the situations in those days, but times have changed with the number of participating nations increasing and the system not equally operated. So, it should be renewed to adapt to the present day with the renewal of its security council, etc. For instance, the allied nations as the permanent security council members started and stocked the most nukes, inroaded inside and out, and are now invading with the threat of nukes, using the veto power. We need an equal and equitable representation according to population, etc.
  5. Not doing anything is the first step to stop crimes and evil, seeing the Dharma (truth/ethic), and serving and saving all in holy (wholly wholesome) harmony, health, and happiness. Still sitting is the best, direct, effective way to stop bad karma and start good karma with prognosis, which embraces and encompasses all dharmas (forms: phenomena) and Dharmas (Norms: Laws).
  6. Crimes and evil come from errors and mistakes of taking small as great (ego as eco: life systems with lives, etc.), past as present (old thinking as new: a single state as the whole world, etc.), mundane as supra-mundane (money/matter/might as life/heart/harmony, etc.). These are the fallacies of space, time, and value, which can be summed up as the mini-max mistake (taking a small thing as a great one).
  7. We should not make mini-max mistakes, much less the mistake of misconception or delusion of the self, society, status, state, and symbolism [the Five Fallacies, made into the five Ss adding symbolism to the four idola (idolized, idols) of cave, agora (marketplace), theatre, and race, conceived of by Francis Bacon]. These are all fictitious fabrications by symbolism as stipulated by Ernst Cassirer in his Philosophy of Symbolism, An Essay of Man, The Myth of the State, etc.
  8. We should not blindly believe the myth of the state. Dictators delude the people to patriotism, to wage wars with weapons, even to nuke the whole world to its end. No one should blindly believe in dictators, states, wars, nukes, violating the universal law (Dharma: truth/ethic: global ethic), human rights (to life, living in peace, equality, freedom, friendship, etc.). No one should blindly believe in the other four Ss of the Five Fallacies, which also damage oneself and others.

私達は世界を救う為に何を為すべきでないか?

毎日私達はテレビニュースなどでウクライナでの残虐行為を見ており、物資不足、値上がり、飢餓などを心配し、核戦争などを恐れています。プーチン・ロシアの侵略戦争は世界中を軍事力と同盟を増強し、核兵器の強化や連携をして、地球温暖化、種の大領絶滅、社会問題などへの対応の資源と方策を妨げています。

(都市国家から国民国家まで)国家は武器により、今では核による、戦争をはじめました。国家の利己主義が戦争の原因です。利己主義は私達の業、特にその三毒(貪瞋痴)、により始まり、それは一切は相依の縁起によってあり、だから相関し相対であるという、縁起の法に反して「自己」が実体であり主宰であるとする迷妄の、生存本能を作りました。

利己主義(「罪」は一切からの分離を意味し)の解決は、聖(全体健全)に再結合することにあります。(Religare:「再結合)に由来する)Religion (宗教)は法(道、神、法律など:真理/倫理:五/十戒、十戒:命令など)が部族、国民、世界を結合して来ました。五戒は1993年シカゴでの世界宗教会議が発出した地球倫理に採用されました。

生命と生活を維持する不殺生、不偸盗、不虚偽、協力(地球倫理の四教令)は世界中どこでも普遍的に受容されます。もし一切がそれらを守り、その違反を罰し、一切がそれらの手段を排除するならば、戦争、核、集団射殺などは無くなるでしょう。私達は自我、国家、戦争、武器や核など業の悪夢から目覚めなければなりません。

2022共通年6月24日

1.五戒の最初の四つは生命の可能性、物質的基盤、社会的安定、性的・世代的関係を保障するものです。不殺生は生命の可能性が十分に開花することを保障しますが、それがないと一切の可能性が否定されます。不偸盗は生命と生活の物質的支援を保障します。不妄語(虚偽等)は相互信頼に基ずく社会的安定を保障します。不邪淫は未来世代への良好な移行を保障します。

2.地球倫理宣言の四教令は五戒(最初の四)を言い換えたものです:

i 不傷害と生命尊重の文化

ii 連帯と平等な経済秩序の文化

iii 寛容と真実の生活

iv 男女間の平等な協力精神

3. この宣言は世界(普遍)人権宣言の対応として世界人務宣言として採用されるよう国連に提出されました。ガンジーが「権利のガンジスは義務のヒマラヤに淵源する」と言うように、世界人務宣言は、一切の人は殺さず、盗まず、嘘を言わず、世代継続において差別しないことを明らかにして、直ちに発布されるべきものです。これらに違反する者は誰でも人種、宗教、性別、世代、地位、所有などに関わらず、逮捕され訴追されるべきです。

4. 私達の社会は家族、氏族、部族、人種、(戦争・核などを生む)国民、そして今や(国民国家を超えて)地球へと発展してきました。国際連合は枢軸国に対する連合国により設立されその憲章は当時の状況を反映していますが、時間が経ち参加国は増え、組織運営は平等でなくなって来ました。それ故、その安保理事会などの更新など現代に適応するように更新されるべきです。例えば、安保理常任理事国である連合国は核所持を始め核最多の所有国となり内外侵害をし、今や拒否権を行使して核威嚇で侵略をしています。私達は人口比などによる平等で公平な代表権を持つなどのことを必要としています。

5. 犯罪や悪を止める第一歩は何もせず、法(真理/倫理)を見、聖(全体健全)なる調和、健康、幸福の為に一切に奉仕し救済することです。静坐は悪業を止めて、諸法(形態:現象)とその法(理法:法則)を抱擁する般若(智慧:診断)で善業を始める最善の直接的で効果的な方法です。

6. 犯罪と悪は小を大とし(エゴをエコ:諸生命と共なる生命組織、とするなど)、過去を現在とし(古い思考を新しいとする:単一国家を全世界とするなど)、世俗を超俗とする(金/物/力を命/心/和とするなど)過ち誤ることに由来します。これらは空間・時間・価値に関する過誤で、(小事を大事とする)大小過誤に纏めることができます。

7. 私達は大小過誤をすべきではありません、まして自我、社会、地位、国家、象徴主義[これら五過誤はフランシス・ベーコンの四イドラ(偶像化:偶像)の洞窟、アゴラ(市場)、劇場、人種に象徴主義を加えて5Sとしたもの]の誤解や妄想をすべきではありません。これらはすべてエルンスト・カッシラーがその「象徴の哲学」、「人間」、「国家の神話」などで指摘された象徴主義による仮構の捏造です。

8. 私達は国家の神話を妄信してはなりません。独裁者達は人々を欺瞞して愛国主義者にし、武器をもって戦争を強行し、全世界をその終末へ核破滅さえします。誰も普遍法(Dharma: 真理・倫理:地球倫理)、(生命に対する、平和・平等・自由・友愛などで生活する)人権に違反して、独裁者、国家、戦争、核を妄信すべきではありません。誰も自分と他者を損壊する五過誤の他の四つのSも妄信すべきではありません。

Vienna Declaration of the 1st Meeting of States Parties of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons: 核兵器禁止条約締約国第一回会議ウィーン宣言

First Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
Distr.: General
23 June 2022

Vienna, 21–23 June 2022

Draft Vienna Declaration of the 1st Meeting of States
Parties of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons

“Our Commitment to a World Free of Nuclear Weapons”

1. We, the States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, have
gathered here for the first Meeting of States Parties, to mark the Treaty’s entry into
force, to reaffirm our determination to realize the complete elimination of nuclear
weapons and to chart our path forward for the full and effective implementation of
the Treaty. We welcome the broad participation of signatory states and observers, as
well as other observers, civil society representatives and survivors of nuclear weapons
use and testing.
2. We celebrate the entry into force of the Treaty on 22 January 2021. Nuclear
weapons are now explicitly and comprehensively prohibited by international law, as
has long been the case for biological and chemical weapons. We welcome that the
Treaty fills this gap in the international legal regime against weapons of mass
destruction and reaffirm the need for all states to comply at all times with applicable
international law, including international humanitarian law.
3. We reiterate the moral and ethical imperatives which inspired and motivated the
creation of the Treaty and which now drive and guide its implementation:
• That the establishment of a legally binding prohibition on nuclear weapons
constitutes a fundamental step towards the irreversible, verifiable and transparent
elimination of nuclear weapons needed for the achievement and maintenance of
a world free of nuclear weapons and, hence, for the realization of the purposes
and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
• That the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons cannot be
adequately addressed, transcend national borders, pose grave implications for
human survival and well-being and are incompatible with respect for the right to
life. They inflict destruction, death and displacement, as well as profound longterm damage to the environment, socioeconomic and sustainable development,
the global economy, food security and the health of current and future
generations, including with regard to the disproportionate impacts they have on
women and girls.
TPNW/MSP/2022/CRP.8
2/4
• That all states share the responsibility to achieve nuclear disarmament, to prevent
the proliferation of nuclear weapons in all its aspects, to prevent any use or threat
of use of nuclear weapons and, to assist victims, redress the harms and remediate
the environmental damage caused by previous use and testing of nuclear armed
states in accordance with their respective obligations under international law and
bilateral agreements.
• That the risk of a nuclear weapon detonation by accident, miscalculation or
design concerns the security of all humanity and achieving and maintaining a
nuclear-weapon-free world serves both national and collective security interests.
• That the risks posed to all humanity by the existence of nuclear weapons are,
thus, so grave that immediate action is needed to achieve a world without nuclear
weapons. This is the only way to guarantee that they are never used again, under
any circumstances. We cannot afford to wait.
4. We are alarmed and dismayed by threats to use nuclear weapons and
increasingly strident nuclear rhetoric. We stress that any use or threat of use of nuclear
weapons is a violation of international law, including the Charter of the United
Nations. We condemn unequivocally any and all nuclear threats, whether they be
explicit or implicit and irrespective of the circumstances.
5. Far from preserving peace and security, nuclear weapons are used as instruments
of policy, linked to coercion, intimidation and heightening of tensions. This highlights
now more than ever the fallacy of nuclear deterrence doctrines, which are based and
rely on the threat of the actual use of nuclear weapons and, hence, the risks of the
destruction of countless lives, of societies, of nations, and of inflicting global
catastrophic consequences. We thus insist that, pending the total elimination of
nuclear weapons, all nuclear-armed states never use or threaten to use these weapons
under any circumstances.
6. We remain gravely concerned that nine states still possess between them
approximately 13,000 nuclear weapons and by security doctrines, which set out
rationales for the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons. Many of these weapons are
on high alert and ready to be launched within minutes. We are further concerned that
some non-nuclear armed states continue to advocate for nuclear deterrence and
encourage the ongoing possession of nuclear weapons. Growing instability and
outright conflict greatly exacerbate the risks that these weapons will be used, whether
deliberately or by accident or miscalculation. The existence of nuc lear weapons
diminishes and threatens the common security of all states; indeed, it threatens our
very survival.
7. We regret and are deeply concerned that despite the terrible risks, and despite
their legal obligations and political commitments to disarm, none of the nucleararmed states and their allies under the nuclear umbrella are taking any serious steps
to reduce their reliance on nuclear weapons. Instead, all nuclear-armed states are
spending vast sums to maintain, modernize, upgrade or expand their nuclear arsenals
and are placing a greater emphasis on and increasing the role of nuclear weapons in
security doctrines. We strongly call for an immediate end to these disconcerting
trends. We underscore that these resources could be better utilized for sustainable
development.
8. In these circumstances, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is
needed more than ever. We will move forward with its implementation, with the aim
of further stigmatizing and de-legitimizing nuclear weapons and steadily building a
robust global peremptory norm against them.
9. Together, we are developing the mechanisms of the Treaty. We will discharge
our national obligations in full. We will work in partnership with the United Nations,
TPNW/MSP/2022/CRP.8
17-02952 3/4
the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, other international and
regional organizations, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons and
other non-governmental organizations, religious leaders, parliamentarians,
academics, indigenous peoples, victims of the use of nuclear weapons (hibakusha),
as well as those affected by nuclear testing and youth groups. We recognize and
appreciate their valuable contribution to taking forward nuclear disarmament. We will
continue to draw on the expertise of leading scientists and consult and work
inclusively with affected communities.
10. The Treaty’s humanitarian spirit is reflected in its positive obligations, aimed at
redressing the harm caused by nuclear weapons use and testing. We will strengthen
international cooperation amongst States Parties to advance the implementation of the
positive obligations of this Treaty. We will work with affected communities to provide
age and gender sensitive assistance without discrimination to survivors of use or
testing of nuclear weapons, and to remediate environmental contamination. We
emphasize the innovative gender provisions of the Treaty and stress the importance
of the equal, full and effective participation of both women and men in nuclear
disarmament diplomacy.
11. We will work to build the membership of the Treaty in all regions. We will
harness the public conscience in support of our goal of universal adherence to the
Treaty and its full implementation. We will work to implement the Action Plan that
we have adopted to guide our efforts to achieve the Treaty’s objectives and goals. We
will meet regularly to review the implementation of this Treaty and we will identify
any additional measures to strengthen the Treaty and move nuclear disarmament
forward.
12. We will also work with states outside the Treaty. We recognize the Treaty on the
Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as the cornerstone of the disarmament
and nonproliferation regime, and deplore threats or actions that risk undermining it.
As fully committed states parties to the NPT, we reaffirm the complementarity of the
Treaty with the NPT. We are pleased to have advanced the implementation of the
NPT’s Article VI by bringing into force a comprehensive legal prohibition of nuclear
weapons, as a necessary and effective measure related to the cessation of the nuclear
arms race and to nuclear disarmament. We urge all NPT States Parties to reinvigorate
their efforts to fully implement the obligation of Article VI and the actions and
commitments agreed at NPT review conferences. We reiterate our commitment to
work constructively with all NPT States Parties to achieve our shared objectives.
13. We will continue to support all measures that can effectively contribute to
nuclear disarmament. These include efforts to bring into force the Comprehensive
Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, interim measures to reduce the risk of use and threat of use
of nuclear weapons, further development of disarmament verification measures,
strengthening negative security assurances and a legal instrument prohibiting fissile
material for the production for nuclear weapons and other nuclear explosive devices.
We pledge to continue collaborating with Nuclear Weapons Free Zones, affirming that
the prohibitions, obligations and objectives of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons are fully compatible with and complementary to the treaties establishing
these Zones.
14. We pledge to highlight further the urgency of nuclear disarmament, the
important evidence regarding the humanitarian consequences and risks posed by the
existence of nuclear weapons in all relevant disarmament and non-proliferation
processes and to the global public more widely. The prevention of these consequences
must be at the center of our collective efforts to achieve and maintain a world without
these weapons.
TPNW/MSP/2022/CRP.8
4/4
15. We urge all states to join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
without delay. We appeal to those states that are not yet ready to take this step to
engage cooperatively with the Treaty and work with us in support of our shared goal
of a world free of nuclear weapons. We deplore the actions of some nuclear-armed
states to discourage non-nuclear-armed states from joining the Treaty. We suggest that
the energy and resources of these states would be better directed to making concrete
progress towards nuclear disarmament. This would truly contribute to sustainable
peace, security and development for all. We would welcome and celebrate such
progress.
15. We have no illusions about the challenges and obstacles that lie before us in
realizing the aims of this Treaty. But we move ahead with optimism and resolve. In
the face of the catastrophic risks posed by nuclear weapons and in the interest of the
very survival of humanity, we cannot do otherwise. We will take every path that is
open to us, and work persistently to open those that are still closed. We will not rest
until the last state has joined the Treaty, the last warhead has been dismantled and
destroyed and nuclear weapons have been totally eliminated from the Earth.

核兵器禁止条約締約国第一回会議

核兵器禁止条約締約国第一回会議ウィーン宣言(草案)

「核兵器から解放される世界への私達の献身」

 

1.私達、核兵器禁止条約の締約国、は本条約が実施されたことを明示し、核兵器の完全な廃絶を実現する私達の決意を再確認し、条約の完全で実効ある履行に向けて私達の道を示すためにここに集まった。私達は、諸市民社会代表と核兵器使用と試験の被害生存者達と共に、署名諸国とオブザーバー達とその他のオブザーバー達の広範な参加を歓迎する。

2.私達は2021年1月22日に条約が効力を持ったことを祝賀する。核兵器は、生物学兵器と化学兵器が既に長期に渡りそうであったように、今や明白に包括的に国際法により禁止されている。私達は本条約が大量破壊兵器禁止の国際法制度の空隙を埋め、全ての国家が国際人道法を含み適用される国際法に常時従う必要があることを再確認する。

3.私達は本条約創設を鼓舞し動機付け、今やその履行を推進し導く道義的倫理的至上命令であることを再説する:

    • 法的拘束力のある核兵器禁止の確立は核兵器から解放された世界の達成と維持、そして、それ故、国連憲章の目的と原則の達成の為に必要な核兵器の不可逆的、検証可能で明白な廃絶に向けた根本的歩みを構成する。
    • 核兵器の破滅的な人道的結果は妥当に補償され得ず、国境を越え、人類の生き残りと福祉に対する由々しい意味を課すものであり、生きる権利に関しては両立し得ないものである。核兵器は環境、社会経済、維持可能な発展、女性と子供達に対する不当な衝撃を与えることを含み現在・未来の地球的経済、食料安全と健康に対し由々し長期にわたる損害を与えると共に、破壊、死、追放を齎すものである。
    • 諸国家は核軍縮を達成し、核兵器とその一切の諸側面を含む拡散を阻止し、核兵器の使用や威嚇を阻止し、核武装諸国による以前の核兵器使用と試験により起こされた被害者を補助し、損害を補償し、環境的損害を再仲裁する国際法と双方の協約による彼らのそれぞれの責務に対する責任を負う。
    • 核兵器の偶発的、又は誤算による、あるいは計画による起爆の危険は全人類の安全保障に関わり、核兵器解放世界の達成と維持は国家的及び集団的安全保障の利益に資する。
    • 核兵器の存在による全人類へ課される諸危険は、かくして、非常に由々しいものであるので、核兵器のない世界を達成する為に即刻の行動が必要である。それが如何なる状況下でもそれらが再び使用されないという保証をする唯一の方法である。私達には待っている余裕など在り得ない。

4.私達は核兵器を使用すると言う威嚇と更に増加する大仰な核の大言壮語に警戒と困惑をしている。私達は如何なる核兵器使用とその威嚇も国連憲章を含む国際法の違反であることを強調する。

5.平和と安全保障を維持するどころか核兵器は政策の道具として、強制、脅し、緊張の高まりに繋がる。これはこれまでにも増して核抑止論の過誤を強調するものであって、それは核兵器の実際使用の威嚇に基礎を置き頼っているのであり、それ故、無数の生命、社会、国家の破壊と地球的破滅の結果の危機に基礎を置き頼っているのである。私達は、それ故、核兵器の全面的廃棄が未決である現在、全ての核武装国が如何なる状況下であっても決してこれらの兵器の使用又は威嚇をすべきではない。

6.私達は九ヵ国が未だに約13,000発の核兵器を所有し、核兵器を使用あるいは威嚇の合法化をする安全保障論に依っていることに重大な懸念を持ったままである。これら兵器の多くは高度警戒態勢にあり数分で発射できる状態にある。私達は更に核保有国でない国家が核抑止論を推奨し核兵器の継続保有を推奨していることに懸念を持っている。意図的、又は偶発的、あるいは誤算によるにせよ、増加しつつある不安定と即座の紛糾はこれらの兵器が使用される危険を非常に悪化させている。核兵器の存在は諸国家の共通の安全保障を減少させ危機にさらしている:実際にそれは私達の正に生存を危険に曝しているのだ。

7.私達は、恐ろしい危険にも拘わらず、また彼等の法的責務と非武装化の政治的努力の必要に拘わらず、核兵器国および核の傘の下にある同盟諸国の何れも核兵器依存を縮小する真剣な措置を講じていないことを遺憾とし深く憂慮している。それどころかすべての核保有国は核軍備の維持、現代化、高度化、拡大化に膨大な金額を費やし、安全保障論において更に重点を置き、核兵器の重要な役割を増大させている。私達はこれらの不調和的傾向を即刻止める様に強く促す。

8.この様な状況下において核兵器禁止条約は以前にもまして必要とされている。私達は核兵器に更なる烙印を押し、非合法化し、それに反対する頑強で地球的な断固とした規定を強固に構築して行く所存である。

9.一緒になって私達は本条約の機構を発展させて行く。私達は自分達の国の責務を完全に果たす所存である。私達は国連、国際赤十字、赤新月社、その他の国際組織、地域組織、国際核兵器廃止キャンペーン、他の非政府組織、宗教指導者達、国会議員達、学者達、原住民達、核兵器使用被害者達(被爆者達)、核兵器試験による被害者達や若者グループと連帯して仕事をする所存である。私達は彼等の核軍縮を推進する価値ある貢献を認識し感謝する。私達は指導的科学者達の識見の利用を継続し、被害を受けた共同体を含み、相談し仕事をする所存である。

10.本条約の人間的精神は核兵器の使用と試験によって引き起こされた傷害を損害賠償する目的の積極的責務に反映されている。私達は本条約の積極的責務の遂行を促進する締約国間における国際的協力を強化する所存である。私達は核兵器の使用と試験による被害生存者たちへの年齢や性別に敏感で差別の無い援助を、影響を受けた共同体と一緒になって提供し、環境的汚染の再仲裁の為に働く所存である。私達は本条約の革新的性別施策を強調し核軍縮外交における平等で、十分で効果的な男女の参加の重要性を強調する。

11.私達はあらゆる地域で本条約の会員組織を構築するよう働く所存である。私達は本条約の普遍的遵守とその十分な履行の私達の目標を支持する公的良心の結束を図る所存である。私達は本条約の目的と目標を履行する私たちの努力を導くように採用した行動計画を履行する為に働く所存である。私達はこの条約の履行を評価する為に定期的に会合を持ち、本条約を強化し核軍縮を前進させる為の追加的方策を見極める所存である。

12.私達は本条約以外でも諸国家と働く所存である。私達は核不拡散条約(NPT)が軍縮と不拡散制度の礎石であることを再認識し、それを崩す危険のある威嚇や行動を慨嘆する。NPTの完全締約諸国として本条約がNPTと相互補完するものであることを再確認する。私達はNPTの第VI条項の履行を、核武装競争と核軍縮に関する必要で効果的方策として、核兵器の完全な法的禁止を有効ならしめることによって、前進させたことを嬉しく思う。私達は全てのNPT加盟諸国が第VI条項の責務とNPT再評価会議で賛成した行動と約束をを完全に履行する自らの努力を再活性化するよう促す。私達はNPT締約諸国と私達の共有する目標を達成する為に積極的の協働する約束を再び述べる。

13.私達は核軍縮に効果的に寄与するあらゆる方策を引き続き支持する所存である。それは包括的核試験禁止協定、核兵器使用と使用威嚇の危険を削減する中間的方策、軍縮検証方策の更なる発展、核兵器や他の核爆発装置の生産用の核分裂性物質を禁止する否定的安全保障と法的措置を強化する軍縮確認方策の更なる発展を含む。私達は非核兵器地域との協力を続けることを確約し、核兵器禁止条約の禁止、責務および目標はこれらの地域を確立する諸協定と全く両立し相互補助するものであることを確認する。

14.私達は核軍縮の急務、全ての関係する軍縮及び不拡散課程と更に広く地球の公衆にたいして、核兵器の存在により齎される人的結果と危険に関する重大な証拠に更に光を当てることを誓約する。これらの結果の防御はこれらの兵器の無い世界を達成し維持する私達の集合的努力の中心にあるべきである。

15.私達は全ての国家が核兵器禁止条約に遅滞なく参加するよう促す。私達は未だ本条約に共同して参加し、核兵器から解放された世界への私達の共有する目標を支持して私達と働いく準備が整っていない諸国に訴える。私達は幾つかの核軍備国が非核軍備国に本条約に参加しないようにする行動を取っていることを慨嘆する。私達はこれら諸国のエネルギーと資源が核軍縮に向かって具体的進歩をする方向に向ける方が良いと示唆する。その方が一切の為の維持可能な平和、安全保障、そして発展に真実に貢献するでしょう。私達はそのような進歩を歓迎し祝福する。

16.私達はこの条約の諸目的を実現するのに私達の前にある挑戦と障害について幻想を抱いてはいない。しかし私達は楽観主義と決意をもって前進する。核兵器により齎される破滅的諸危険に直面し、人類の正に生き残りの利益の為に、私達にはそれ以外に在り得ない。私達は自分達に開かれたすべての方途を取り、未だに閉されたものを根気よく開く為に働く所存である。私達は最後の国が本条約に加入し、最後の弾頭が解体され、破壊され、核兵器が地球から完全に廃絶されるまで休むことはしない所存である。

What should we do to save the world? 私達は世界を救う為に何をすべきか?

What should we do to save the world?

We were at 100 seconds before the end of the world according to the Doomsday Clock before Russia invaded Ukraine, but it has been shortened, as Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons at his discretion. This war has been causing hundreds of thousands of people to be killed, tortured, raped, injured, displaced, orphaned, and starved, and the country’s infrastructure and the world’s economy and food distribution chain are in tatters. Global warming has been causing heatwaves, droughts, a rise in sea levels, and abnormal climates – more tornadoes, typhoons, flooding, land slides, and other adverse events. A mass extinction of species is eliminating familiar and beneficial animals and plants. The artificial, unidirectional pyramidal civilization is expanding the separation between rich and poor, creating dictators, arms races, refugees, crimes, etc. The biosphere is degraded, devastated, and doomed.

All of this has been caused by humans, who have developed skills and societies, sciences and technologies, and national and global networks that are causing nukes, wars, ecological problems, etc., which could lead to the doom of all, along with our eco systems. These problems are the result of human efforts to amass money, matter, and might, sacrificing all species and systems. The core culprit is their karma (actions, habits, and heredities), evolving into the Triple Poisons (desire, divisiveness, and delusion of ego). The primary problem is that people don’t even know this, much less know how to change it or actually work to change it. This is because karma has four billion years of history, attained and accumulated, augmented and authorized by all. This is the result of humans believing the current system to be the truth and the true way of living life by all, even with wars, nukes, arms races, conflicts, and terrorism by most people.

The Awakened One was awakened to the reality that this is only the conventional truth, and not the ultimate one. He was first awakened to the ultimate truth that there is no “self” as substance and sovereign, due to the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination. The fundamental delusion of “self” or “ego” is the cause of desire and divisiveness (delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination being the five calamities), causing civilization (urbanization, since city states evolved to nation states) with walls for wars, colonialism, classes, slavery, etc., and leading to nukes, global warming, mass extinction of species, etc. He achieved his awakening by still sitting, stilling karma, seeing Dharma, serving and saving all. He defined all as karma-born, -heirs, -owners, -machines, and -refuged, and he shared a way out with all to attain nirvana and become awakened. He showed that anyone can do the same to attain nirvana/awakening and prognoses for anything.

Anyone can understand the truth and ethic he revealed and can activate it, first intellectually in that we see the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, i.e., that all is related and relative, interrelated and interinfluenced like the Indra-net – and then we can work together to create peace, abolish nukes, avoid global warming, mass extinction of species, etc. We must follow his Five/Ten Precepts or a global ethic (first four of the Five Precepts employed as a global ethic: no killing, no stealing, no lying, and cooperation), which should be established as our universal human responsibilities, complementing our universal human rights. We must make a world organization for the equality of all, that prohibits wars, nukes, etc., and that enforces this beyond nations (which are fictitious bodies like other major actors: companies, media, religion, education) and nationalisms. Ideally we should practice still sitting, seeing Dharma, serving all as friends in need for completion.

June 17, 2022 C.E.

Note:

  1. State systems from city states to nation states, representative of a pyramidal system, is a thousandth of human history (nation states are one tenth of state systems), almost a millionth of life history.
  2. Human societies advanced from family, clan, tribal, racial, regional, national, and now to global. Almost all human activities have become global in economic, social, and cultural spheres, but politics lagged and is the largest remaining national, thus creating wars, nukes, dictators, discriminations, holocausts, persecutions, conflicts, terrorisms, refugees, etc.
  3. Please refer to my paper, Paradigm Shift, for shifting the present artificial, unidirectional, pyramidal civilization for money, matter, and might with the five calamities as described above to a future fundamental, original, natural life Indra-net culture for life, heart, and harmony with the five blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, friendship, and peace:

 https://heiwasekai.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/%e3%80%8c%e6%9e%a0%e7%b5%84%e8%bb%a2%e6%8f%9b%e3%80%8d%ef%bc%9aparadigm-shift/?fbclid=IwAR2PEo9t4YwkwTSo4QRdVseqW08HeASD7orrenbOQLh181s72MAbV-WxkuM

  1. The second Parliament of the World’s Religions, held in Chicago in 1993 with more than seven thousand religious people, issued “A Declaration of a Global Ethic” with four directives dedicated to the culture of no violence and respect for life, of solidarity and an equitable economic order, of tolerance and true living, of the equal partnership between women and men. It was reworded from the first four precepts of the Five Buddhist Precepts of no killing, no stealing, no lying, and no sexual misconduct. This was sent to the U.N. to publish as universal human responsibilities, but has since been shelved, as rights are more urgently needed. But, as Gandhi said, the Ganges of rights comes from the Himalaya of responsibilities, so the latter should come first.
    1. The Awakened One said that friends make all our life. Universal religions call the future savior “friend” (Mitra, Mithra, Mazda, Maitreya, Milu, Massiah, Messiah), but it is our potential to become “A friend in need is a friend indeed,” not waiting for others to save us, but we must save ourselves, as “Heaven helps those who help themselves.”
  2. Flowers invite butterflies without minds,

    Butterflies visit flowers without minds,

    When flowers bloom, butterflies come,

    When butterflies come, flowers bloom,

    Neither I know people,

    Nor people know me,

    Following the heavenly law without knowing.

    Ryokan

私達は世界を救う為に何をすべきか?

ロシアのウクライナ侵略する前には世界終末時計によれば私達は世界の終わり百秒前にありましたが、プーチンが自らの思い通りに核兵器を使うと威嚇しているため、それは更に短くなりました。この戦争は何万人もの人々が殺され、拷問され、凌辱され、傷付き、居場所を追われ、孤児になり、飢餓に陥り、自国のインフラや世界の経済や食料配給が粉砕されて来ました。地球温暖化は熱波、旱魃、海面上昇や異常気象―増加する竜巻、台風、洪水、地滑りその他の不利事象―を惹起しています。生物種の大量絶滅は身近で有益な動植物を消滅させています。人工的で一方向的な金字塔文明は貧富の差を拡大し独裁者、軍拡競争、避難民、犯罪等を生んでいます。棲息圏は劣化し、荒廃し、破滅へ向かっています。

これら全ては人間により起こされたものですが、彼等は技術と社会、科学と技術、国家的と地球的網目組織を作り核、戦争、生態圏問題等を引き起こして来ましたが、これらは私達の生態組織と共に一切を破滅に導き得ます。これらの諸問題は人間の金・物・力の集積の努力の結果です。核心的犯行源は業(行動、習慣、遺伝)で、それが三毒(貪瞋痴)に発展したものです。第一の問題は人間がこれを知りさえしていないということであり、ましてやそれを如何にして変えるか、実際に変えるために活動することをしないということにあります。それは業が40億年の歴史を持ち、一切により達成され蓄積され、増加し権威付られて来たからです。これは人間が皆現在の組織は真実であり真の生活方法であると信じているからで、殆どの人にとっては戦争、核、軍拡競争、紛争、テロなどでさえ真実であるとされているのです。

覚者はこれは単に世俗諦(真理)過ぎず、究極諦ではないという現実に覚醒しました。彼は縁起の法により実体であり主宰である「自己」というものは無いという究極諦に最初に覚醒しました。「自己」即ち「エゴ」は根本的迷妄が欲望と差別の原因であり(その迷妄、束縛、差別、搾取、殺戮は五禍)戦争、植民主義、階級、奴隷制等の壁のある文明(=都市化:城砦:都市国家から国民国家)を出来させ、地球温暖化、種の大量絶滅などに導いたのです。彼は静坐で業を静め、法を見、一切に奉仕・救済して覚醒を成就しました。彼は一切を業誕生者、業相続者、業所有者、業機械、業依拠者と定義し、それを出て涅槃を得て覚者となる方法を共有しました。彼は誰でも同様にして涅槃/覚醒を得て如何なるものに対しても般若(診断)智を達成することが出来ることを示しました。

誰でも彼が明白にした真理と倫理を理解し実践して、先ず知的に、縁起の法、即ち一切が相依相対し、帝釈網の(結び目の水晶が)関係・影響し合っていることを見てーそれから私達が平和を生み、核を廃棄し、地球温暖化、種の大量絶滅等を回避する為に共に働くことが出来るのです。私達は彼の五戒・十戒または地球倫理(五戒の最初の四つの不殺、不盗、不偽、協働を地球倫理として採用)に従い、私達の普遍(世界)人権(宣言)の補完として普遍人務(宣言)として確立されなければなりません。私達は皆が平等な世界組織を作り、戦争、核等を禁止し、それが諸国家(会社、メディア、宗教、教育などの主要行動体と同様に仮構体)と国家主義を超えてこれを強制するものにしなければなりません。理想的に、完成させるには私達は静坐、法観、一切奉仕救済を実践するべきです。

註:

  1. 金字塔組織の代表である都市国家から国民国家までの国家組織は人類史の千分の一(国民国家は国家組織では十分の一)、生命史では殆ど百万分の一です。
  2. 人間社会は家族、氏族、部族、種族、地区(集団)、国民(集団)から今や地球(集団)に進みました。経済、社会、文化領域での殆ど全ての人間活動は地球的になりましたが、政治は遅れて最大の国家(組織)で、それ故戦争、核、独裁者、差別、ホロコースト、迫害、紛争、テロ、避難民などを生んでいるのです。
  3. 上述の五禍を伴う金・物・力を求める現在の人工的一方向金字塔文明から覚醒・自由・平等・友愛・平和の五福を伴う命・心・和の為の未来の根本的で本来の自然循環敵文化へ転換する私の論考、枠組転換、をご覧ください:https://heiwasekai.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/%e3%80%8c%e6%9e%a0%e7%b5%84%e8%bb%a2%e6%8f%9b%e3%80%8d%ef%bc%9aparadigm-shift/?fbclid=IwAR2PEo9t4YwkwTSo4QRdVseqW08HeASD7orrenbOQLh181s72MAbV-WxkuM
  4. 1993年シカゴで七千人以上参加開催の第二回世界宗教会議は非暴力と生命尊重の文化への献身、一致団結と公正な経済秩序の文化への献身、寛容と真実の生活の文化への献身、の平等な権利と共同の文化への献身の四つの教令を持つ「地球倫理宣言」を発出しました。それは不殺、不盗、不偽、不邪淫の仏教の五戒の最初四戒を言い換えたものです。これは国連に普遍(世界)人務宣言として発布するようにと送られましたが、(世界人権宣言の)権利がより緊急に必要であるとして棚上げされています。しかしガンジーが「権利のガンジスは義務のヒマラヤに発する」というように、後者が優先されるべきなのです。
  5. 覚者は「友達は私たちの人生の全てを為す」と言いました。普遍宗教は未来の救済主は友(Mitra, Mithra, Mazda, Maitreya, Milu, Massiah, Messiah)であると言っていますが、それは「必要の時の友こそ真の友」になる私達の可能性です、他者が私達を救うのを待つのではなく、「天は自ら助くる者達を助く」のですから自ら助けなければなりません。

       花無心招蝶
    蝶無心尋花                                                                     花開時蝶来
    蝶来時花開
    吾亦不知人
    人亦不知吾
    不知従帝則

       良寛
