How to solve sufferings of the states?

The Doomsday Clock is at 100 seconds before midnight, i.e., the doom of the world in 100 seconds. The utmost urgent problem is nuclear holocaust; nuclear warheads are now at hair-trigger alert, aimed at thousands of major cities, controlled by one man’s command, mishaps, etc. Wars of invasion, genocide, oppression, etc., are butchering, torturing, destroying infrastructure and trade, creating refugees, starvation, etc. Militarism sacrifices the solution to ecological, economic, social, and cultural problems.

The cause of this is the state system, from city to nation states, discriminating, exploiting, and exterminating outsiders by amassing money, matter, and might. This is due to the selfishness of egos, ego societies (states, media, companies, religions, educations: five fictitious bodies, but major actors). This is due to the delusion of ego, myths of the states, etc., mistake of mini-max and delusion of symbolism, as in mistaking ego greater than eco, delusion of selves, states as substance and sovereign.

The solution is stopping the fiction of symbolism of language, religion, state, etc. Ernst Cassirer defined humans as skillful symbol handlers, thus creating myths of the state, etc. The Buddha defined all beings as karma-born, -heirs, -owners, -machines, -refuged. If we understand them, we can be awakened from our delusion of the self, state, etc. and act in a new, truthful, ethical way of life and living, following the supramundane truth and global ethic, avoiding killing, stealing, lying, sacrificing others, living a holy life.

The way of solution lies in stopping min-max mistakes and stilling our karma and seeing the Dharma, serving and saving all. Stop selfishness, states sacrificing eco, life, life systems, etc. Still karma, see the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, i.e., all related and relative, no absolute self, states, etc. Let all observe the global ethic, never allowing selves or states to violate them. Let us live in the holy (wholly wholesome) way and world as an integral part and parcel of the Indra-net, reflecting each other.

Note:

Wars, colonialism, slavery, class, etc. started when humans started citadels, called civitas, polis, pura, bourg, etc., with walls of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination (five calamities of city states to nation states: mono-directional pyramidal civilization, urbanization, for money, matter, and might).

Mini-max mistakes are mistakes due to taking mini as max like ego as the most important/ greatest (than eco). All mistakes can be summarized in this from the major ones in space, time, and world (mundane as supra-mundane, etc. like mini as max).

Ernst Cassirer’s “An Essay on Man” is a good summary of his major work, Philosophy of Symbolic Forms. His The Myth of the State is a good work to see the problems of the state.

The greatest problem of humans is that humans themselves don’t even know that they are karma-machines, being caught by our own karma (actions, habits, heredities), much less no knowing of the solution to it and the actual practice of that solution.

国家の諸苦を如何にして解決するか？

世界終末時計は真夜中前100秒にある、即ち世界終末まで100秒ということである最も緊急の問題は核ホロコーストである、核弾頭が何千の主要都市を標的にして一人の命令、誤算などにより一触即発警戒態勢にある。侵略戦争、人種殲滅、弾圧などが惨殺、拷問、インフラ、貿易などを破壊し避難民、飢餓などを生み出す。軍事主義は環境、経済、社会、文化問題の解決を犠牲にしている。

この原因は金・物・力を集積して差別、搾取、殺戮する、都市国家から国民国家に至る、国家組織にある。これは我、我社会（国家、メディア、会社、宗教、教育の五仮構体乍ら主要行動体）の利己主義による。これはエゴをエコより偉大であるとし我、我国を実体であり主宰であるとする我、我国などの大小過誤、象徴主義の妄想による。

解決は言語、宗教、国家などのフィクションを止めることである。エルンスト・カッシラーは人間を象徴を巧妙に操り、そして国家の神話などを創始する者であると定義した。ブッダは一切衆生を業誕生者、業相続者、業所有者、業機械、業依拠者と定義した。もし我々が彼等を理解するなら、我、我国などの妄想から目覚め、超俗真理と地球倫理に従い、殺戮、窃盗、虚偽、他者犠牲を避け、聖なる生をを生きて、新しい真理、倫理にかなう生き方の人生を実践するであろう。

解決法は大小過誤を止めて、業を静め、法を見、一切に奉仕し救済することにある。自己中を止め、エコ、生命、生命系を犠牲にする国家を止めよ。業を静め、法、即ち、一切は相関相対であり、絶対的我も国家なもも無いという縁起の法を見よ。皆が、地球倫理を守り、如何なる我も我国もそれらを犯すことが無いようにしよう。相互に反映しあう（水晶の珠のように一切が反映しあう）帝釈網と全体一体であるように聖（全体健全）な方法と世界に生きよう。
