From Sick Sin to Healthy Holiness: 病患の罪悪から健康な聖性へ

 

Good morning!

 

We had chilly days recently, but the weather forecast is up to 52 today and 64 degrees tomorrow. The Dharma (Norm, Law) of all dharmas (forms, phenomena) is Dependent Co-origination, related and relative, as illustrated in the Indra-net, from the universe to the molecule, from macrocosm to microcosm. Normally it’s like a white heron in a snowfield, merging into one in harmony. Accidentally it happens like the corona virus in the life world, disturbing in disharmony.

 

We are usually in the wholly wholesome way world, but incidentally in the separate sick spreading system. Because of the Dharma of all dharmas, we must follow it to prevent and cure infected people. If we mistreat or manipulate the incident, the effect ripples to societies, economics, politics, pandemics, and panicking. The same is true with other individual, social, and ecological problems from epidemics to global warming, mass extinction, and nuclear holocaust.

 

Human problems, especially such as those mentioned above, are due to our karma, especially its triple poisons of delusion, desire, and divisiveness. The delusion of a separate Self, State, etc., is the fundamental sin (=separation against the Dharma) of Civilization (Urbanization), which should be shifted to Culture (Cultivation). This paradigm shift must be wholly wholesome in all human activities, shifting goals, resources, institutions, values, cultures, life styles, etc.

 

We can learn from the Buddha, who was awakened to the Dharma and no-self, foresaw the destruction of the world from selfishness, and lived the life of the Dharma, providing us with the way to avoid it. The essential practice is sitting in zen, seeing the Dharma, saving and serving all. We can become wholly wholesome with our immune system, insight, interaction, etc. Only practice makes perfect, able to use the two wings of concentration and continuity to fly freely.

お早うございます!

 

最近は冷たい日が続いたのですが、予報では今日は10度、明日は16度まで上がるそうです。帝釈網で例示されるように宇宙から素粒子まで、大世界から小世界まで、諸法(形態・現象)の法(規則・法則)は縁起であり、相依相対です。それは通常調和して一つに溶け合う雪原にいる白鷺のようです。偶然に不調和に邪魔されて生命界のコロナ菌のようになります。

 

私達は普通全体健全な方途世界にありますが、時に分離病患の拡散体系になります。諸法の法の故に、私達はそれに従って予防と被患した人々の治療をしなければなりません。そのような出来事を誤って扱ったり操作したりするとその結果は社会、経済、政治、パンデミック、パニックに波及します。それは疫病から地球温暖化、大量絶滅、核の冬に至る個人、社会、生態系の問題においても同様です。

 

人間の問題、特に上に述べたようなもの、は私達の業、特にその貪瞋痴の三毒によるものです。分離した我、国などの迷妄は文明(都市化)の罪(法からの分離)の根本的問題であり、文化(修養)へと転換されるべきものです。この枠組転換は一切の人間の活動に及び、目的、資源、制度、価値、文化、生活様式などの転換をして、全体健全でなければなりません。

 

私達は法と無我に目覚め、我中心による世界の終末を予見し、法の生命に生き、それを避ける方法を私達に提供してくれた仏陀に学ぶことができます。その本質的な実践は禅で坐り、法を見、一切を救い奉仕することです。私達は免疫系、洞察、相互活動などで全体健全になることができます。実践のみが完成に達し、集中と持続の二翼を使用して自由に飛ぶ事が出来るのです。

Great Repose in Great Respite:偉大なる安息での偉大なる休息

 

Good morning!

 

Flowers in spring,

Cuckoo in summer,

    The moon in autumn,

                     Snow in winter, cool and clear.

 

                              The original face, Dogen

 

We had chilly weather these last few days, but there’s bright spring sunlight now. We’ve been having longer days since the winter solstice a couple months ago and we’ll have the spring equinox within a month, but we hardly noticed the longer daytime and warmth due to the globe’s night and chill. Some have said that the moon is more precious than the sun, because it shines in darkness.

 

Because we are shortsighted we mistake small things as great, like money, matter, and might, due to the triple poisons or karma. Since we have been in the dark night of nescience, we struggle and suffer in dreadful dreams and delusions. When we wake up from nightmares and nescience, we are relieved from them, knowing that there had been no need for dread and delusion.

 

That’s why we must find our original face, or true nature beyond karma conventions and convictions. A Zen master answered a question about the significance of Bodhidharma coming from west, saying “The cypress tree in the garden.” When we sit solid, we become holy (wholly wholesome) truth and peace in the Dharma world, like a tree, harmonious with all.

 

We find great respite (mahā assāsa, lit. great inhalation, intake, cf. aspiration) or nirvana, no wind of karma blowing us up and down, back and forth, unconditioned peace in solid sitting, unmoved by anything. When we are in busy daily life, we are pressed by worldly things, short-breathed, short-sighted, and short-circuited, missing the great natural abundance of life, light, liberation, and love.

「本来の面目」、道元

 

この所数日は寒い気候でしたが、今は明るい春の陽光があります。二ヵ月程前の冬至以来日が長くなっており一カ月以内に春分の日を迎えるのですが地球の夜と寒気の為に日が長くなるのも温かくなるのも殆ど気付きません。誰かが月は暗闇で輝いてくれるから、月の方が太陽よりも大切だと言ったそうです。

 

私達は近視眼の故に、三毒、即ち業の故に金、物、力の様に、小さなものを大きいと誤解してしまいます。私達は無明の暗闇にいる為に恐ろしい夢と妄想の中で葛藤し苦しみます。私達が悪夢と無明から目覚める時、恐れと妄想の必要は無かったのだと知って、それらから解放されます。

 

だから、私達が業の習慣と信念を越えた本来の面目、或いは本性を見出す必要があるのです。菩提達磨が西方から来た意義は何かという問いにある禅の師匠は「庭の柏の樹」と答えました。私達がどっしりと坐る時、一切と調和している樹のように、法界の中に聖(全体健全)なる真理と平和そのものになります。

 

私達は偉大なる安息(mahā assāsa文字通りでは偉大なる吸気・摂取、「志望」参照)、即ち、業風が私達を上下前後に吹き飛ばすことのない、涅槃、即ち、何物にも動じない堅固な坐で無条件の平安を見出します。私達は忙しい日常生活では、世俗的な事柄に迫られ、短い呼吸になり、近視的になり、短絡的になり、偉大な自然の命・光・自由・愛情の豊穣を見失っています。

Whales Befriending with Humans

Magdalena Bay in Baja Peninsula

The Bay is 85 km long and not very deep. Therefore, the water is pretty warm and the bay sheltered. It was the right conditionfor grey whales to travel down from Alaska to give birth to their babies. However, the bay provided an easy catch for the whalehunting ships. Mothers and babies were slaughtered  during the birth time until 1937, when a whale protection policy started. It is said that during the whale hunting season, the water in the bay turned red.

In 1947, the whale hunting was forbidden. However, no whales came anymore into the bay. It happened in the 1970s, whena fisherman spotted a whale again. He was so excited that he immediately returned to the community and said, “The whales have forgiven us!” The fisherman were still afraid of the whales, as the mother whales attacked the ships to defend their babies, when they were hunted.

It took a while to build trust again. Now the fishermen are friends of the whales. They take people out to the bay and look for mothers and babies. The grey whales want to show their babies to the humans. They want to connect. We saw many mother whales with babies swimming around our boat, one was even swimming underneath. Sometimes, the mother lifts up the baby and shows it to the people in the boat to touch it. We were not so lucky. But it was very special. Enjoy!

Unmoved (Acala)  Unconditioned: 不動(アチャラ)超業条件付け

 

Good morning!

 

    Flowers in spring.

     Cuckoo in summer.

         The moon in autumn.

Snow in winter,

Cool and clear.

                                                                             Original Face, Dogen

 

We have chilly weather, down to 10 degrees outside. We are cool and clear after zazen here. I watched a rebroadcast of an NHK program from about twenty years ago on Dr. Tetsu Nakamura, who dedicated his life to treating mainly leprosy patients in Pakistan for twenty years, then to digging wells and making a long canal to irrigate the desert for 600,000 people in Afghanistan for fifteen years. He was shot to death about two months ago by a fanatical group. He used to say “Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution protected me, having no enemies, while war and fighting was going on.”

 

Great people who work for the peaceful lives of people are sometimes killed by fanatical persons or groups, as in the cases of Gandhi, King, Lincoln, Jesus, Socrates, et al. Fanatics are short-sighted and short-circuited, sinful (separate, sick, selfish) slaughterers. They are actually cowardly criminals, fearing selfish loss and fighting in a criminal way. Religion means reunion (from Latin religare) with holiness (wholly wholesome way world) from sin (separated, sick, selfish system), coming from the survival instinct, the triple poisons of karma.

 

A Religion Revolution, harbinger of Spiritual Revolution, with the five blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, love, and peace, was the cure for the Civilization (Urbanization, from Latin civitas) Revolution of a pyramidal system with the five calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination (classes, colonies, wars, slaves, etc.). The global crises of climate change, mass extinction, etc., require a paradigm shift from the latter to the former, urgently. Otherwise the global life system is doomed to demise.

 

In this perspective the former is like a great person for the peaceful life of all, and the latter a fanatic that assassinates a great person. The former developed a global heart with global organizations with a global truth/ethic. The latter developed city states to nation states, developing the scale of class, colonialism, war, etc. Great ones can have great hearts to embrace all without nationalism, militarism, etc. We can still karma, staying unmoved (acala) by anything. Small ones remain with small hearts, with the triple poisons, with weapons like fanatical cowardice.

外は零下11度まで下がる冷たい気候です。ここでは坐禅の後で清涼です。 私は、20年間パキスタンで来病患者治療に当たり、その後15年間アフガニスタンで井戸を掘り長い運河を創って60万人の為に砂漠を灌漑するのに人生を捧げた中村哲さんの、20年程前のNHK番組の再放送を見ました。彼は2カ月程前狂信者グループの銃撃で亡くなりました。彼は何時も「日本の憲法九条に守られて戦争と闘争があっても敵が居ない」と何時も言っていました。

 

ガンジー、キング、リンカーン、イエス、ソクラテスなどの場合のように人々の平和な生活の為に働いた偉大な人々が時には狂信者やその集団により殺されることがあります。狂信者達は近視眼で短絡的で、罪(差別、病患、自己中)な屠刹者です。彼らは実際には、自己中な損失を恐れ犯罪的方法で戦う臆病な犯罪者なのです。宗教(religion:ラテン語のreligareに由来)とは生存本能、業の三毒、から来る罪(差別病患の自己中組織)から聖(全体健全な道程・世界)に再結合することです。

 

精神革命の嚆矢である宗教革命は覚醒・自由・平等・博愛・平和の五福によって錯誤・束縛・差別・搾取・殺戮の五禍(階級、植民、戦争、奴隷など)のある文明(civilization: ラテン語のcivitas: cityに由来する都市化という意味)の治療をするものです。気候変動、大量絶滅などの地球危機は後者から前者への緊急な枠組転換を必要としています。そうしないと地球生命組織は崩壊への運命にあります。

 

このように見ると前者は一切の平和な生活の為の偉大な人の様であり後者は偉大な人を暗殺する狂信者の様なものです。前者は地球的真理・倫理をもつ地球的組織で地球的心を発展させました。後者は都市国家から国民国家へ発展して階級、植民主義、戦争などの規模を発展させました。偉大な人々は国家主義、軍国主義などの無い、一切を抱擁する偉大な心を持つことができます。私達は業を静めて、何物にも動かされない不動(acala)に留まることができます。小人は狂信的な臆病者のように三毒を持ち、武器を持つ卑小な心のままに留まっているのです。

Solution of Suffering

 

Good morning!

 

Hard is it to receive a human body, rare is it to meet the Buddha Dharma. By virtue of previous merits, we not only have received human bodies difficult to receive, but also have met the Buddha Dharma rarely met. We are in the best lives among various births and deaths and in the most blessed lives. We should not leave our dew-like lives to the mercy of the wind of impermanence, treating carelessly the most blessed lives.

 

Dogen, Shushogi, Significance of Cultivation-verification

 

 

Time flies. One and a half months have passed since New Year’s Day. The corona virus outbreak has swiftly spread globally. We don’t know when impermanence will overtake us. Sufferings are triple: individual, social, and environmental. To cope with them we have the triple pillars of the Awakened Way, Global Ethic, and Voluntary Simplicity in our center. These may roughly become the countermeasures to those, though they are all interconnected and integrally working.

 

The Awakened Way can solve all problems and sufferings: birth, sickness, aging, and death, which include not acquiring the desired, separating from the beloved, meeting with the hated, and karma kinetics. We can attain nirvana, no-wind of karma, and awakening in the Four Holy Truths, solving all problems and sufferings. We know we are karma machines, and work with them in nirvana, amrita, ambrosia of immortality, enjoying holy harmony, health, and happiness.

 

The Global Ethic is the new standard for the old ones of individualism, nationalism, racism, etc. The Awakened Way of the Dharma of Interdependent Co-origination in the Global Age will abolish the sinful (separate) Self, State, etc. with war, class, etc. against no killing, no stealing, no lying, and equal partnership of all. We must live as global villagers with the Five Blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, love, and peace. Truth and ethics are not two separate things, but one holiness.

 

Voluntary Simplicity is the new paradigm for the old ones of fighting for matter, might, and money with the Five Calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination. Compounded complexity enslaves life confined and confused, losing true appreciation of abundant life and active living in holy (wholly wholesome) truth, goodness, beauty, and peace, which will save all life from devastation and doom by nukes, wars, global warming, mass extinction, etc.

人身(にんしん)得(う)ること難(かた)し仏法値(お)うこと希(まれ)なり、今我等宿善(しゅくぜん)の助くるに依りて、已(すで)に受け難き人身を受けたるのみに非ず、遭い難き仏法に値(あ)い奉れり、 生死の中の善生(ぜんしょう)、最勝の生なるべし最勝の善身を徒(いたづら)にして 露命を無常の風に任すること勿れ。

                      道元、「修証義」

 

 

時は飛び去ります-元旦からもう一カ月半が過ぎました。コロナウィルス勃発はたちまち地球上に広まりました。無常が私達を何時襲うか判りません。苦は個人的、社会的、環境的に三重です。これに対処して私達のセンターでは覚道、地球倫理、自発的簡素を三柱としています。これらは皆関係して統合的に働きますが大体それらへの対処法です。

 

覚道は生老病死、求めて得られない、愛する者との別れ、憎い者と会うこと、業の活動のすべての問題と苦を解決します。私達は業の無風である涅槃を得て、一切の問題と苦を解決する四聖諦で覚醒出来ます。私達は自ら業機械ですが、聖なる調和・健康・幸福を享受しながら、不死の甘露である涅槃の中にそれらに対処できるのです。

 

地球倫理は個人主義、国家主義、人種主義などの古い規範に代わる新しい規範です。地球時代における相互依存の縁起の覚道は不殺生・不偸盗・不妄語・一切の平等な共同精神に反する戦争、階級などを伴う罪の(分離した)吾我・国家などを廃止するでしょう。私達は覚醒・自由・平等・友愛・平和の五福をもった地球村民として生きなければなりません。真理と倫理は分離した二つのものではなく、一体の聖性です。

 

自発的簡素は錯誤・束縛・差別・搾取・殺戮の五禍を伴う物・力・金に対する闘争の古い枠組に代わる新しい枠組です。複合する複雑さは生命を閉塞させ混乱させて、核、地球温暖化、大量絶滅などの破壊を破滅から一切の命をすくう聖(全体健全)なる真善美和の豊かな生命と活動的な生活を真実に享受するのを失わせます。

Karma to Dharma: 業から法へ

 

Good morning!

 

We have a calm, clear world after our zazen. Before coming here, I watched a TV program on the Shimanto River, one of three “free-flowing rivers in Japan,” called “the last pure river.” It enjoys abundant and diverse living beings and ecological systems – a long span of brackish water, many meanderings with diverse kinds of streams in speed, depth, organisms, etc. Humans live harmoniously with it with skillful means, like using sinking bridges that flow with floodwaters.

 

Our cosmic river is a roughly fifteen billion year river with a four billion year life stream, which may be identified as the Dharma world. The human species stream is five million years, with five thousand years of civilization, which may be coined the karma world. This outgrew and overburdened that in the last fifty years. The coming five years may determine the fate of both, with runaway climate crises. At any moment a mishap, a man, or a country can destroy the global life system.

 

Human karma created civilization, with city states streaming into nation states with militarism, materialism, Mammonism, etc. A pyramidal civilization is now corrupting and collapsing the holy truth, goodness, and beauty of the Dharma world with the karma of the triple poisons of delusion, desire, and divisiveness, producing the five calamities of delusion, bondage, discrimination, exploitation, and extermination. Karma cognition and correction is the key to solve all problems and sufferings.

 

The Buddha recommended “mental orientation from the source,” the origin of the mind, karma, the triple poisons, etc., before which was nothing wrong, where there was only the Dharma world. He left the concrete correct course for it – sitting still, stilling karma, seeing the Dharma, saving and serving the Dharma world with the five blisses of awakening, freedom, equality, love, and peace, and with the triple learning of morality, concentration, and prognosis, enjoying the holy happy Dharma flow.

お早うございます!

 

坐禅の後には静寂で明澄な世界があります。ここへ来る前にテレビ番組四万十川を見ましたが、これは「日本の三清流」の一つであり、「最後の清流」と言われています。それは豊富で多様な生物と生態系を持っています-長い汽水域や速度・深さ、有機体等の多様な種類の流れをもつ多くの蛇行など。人々はそこで洪水でも大丈夫な沈下橋のような方便を使い自然と調和して生きています。

 

私達の宇宙河は約150億年の川であり40億年の生命の流れですが、これは法界と同定して良いでしょう。人類流は500万年で文明は5000年ですが、これは業世界と言って良いでしょう。最近50年で後者は前者を凌駕し過負荷をかけています。来たる5年が気候危機の暴走でそれらの運命を決めるかもしれませn。何時何どき事故、一人、一国が地球生命組織を破壊するか知れません。

 

 

人間の業は都市国家の文明を創り、軍国主義、物質主義、拝金主義等を持った国民国家に流れ込みました。金字塔文明は今や貪瞋痴三毒の業をもって法界の聖なる真善美を腐敗・崩壊させて、錯誤・束縛・差別・搾取・殺戮の五禍を生み出しています。業の認識と矯正は一切の問題と苦を解く鍵です。

 

仏陀は心、業、三毒等の始原からの「如理思惟(根源的思考)」を勧めましたが、それらの前は何も悪いものは無く法界でした。彼はその為の具体的な正しい道程を残してくれましが-戒定慧の三学で覚醒・自由・平等・博愛・平和の五福で静坐、止業、観法、法界救済と奉仕で、聖なる幸福の法の流れを享受することです。

Doomsday Clock 100 Seconds to the End:終末時計は終末まで100秒

 

Good morning!

 

We have a quiet and serene morning after sittings. The Doomsday Clock was further advanced to the shortest ever 100 seconds to the end of the world. This is due especially to imminent nuclear war and the pressing climate crisis, with long-term ecological problems such as mass extinction caused by mankind.

 

This is due fundamentally to the triple poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion in karma, and the accelerated scale, speed, and specialization of our pyramidal civilization. Humans have survived and succeeded in this, as they are social animals, but they are now reversely affecting themselves and the world.

 

We must reverse this process with the triple learnings of morality, concentration, and prognosis, going to nirvana with deceleration in quality, value, and holiness of an Indra-net culture. Humans have fabricated and failed in this, as they are symbol manipulators, which created a separate Self, Society, State, Species, etc.

 

As we do this, we must follow the triple pillars of the Awakened Way, Global Ethic, and Voluntary Simplicity, following the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, the 5 Ls, plain life, discarding the Five Calamities, and attaining the Five Blisses in nirvana, tasting amrita, ambrosia of immortality, becoming fearless.

坐禅の後に静寂で静穏な朝です。世界終末時計が更に進められて世界の終り100秒前になりました。これは特に緊急な核戦争と迫り来る気候危機と、更には人類による大量絶滅などの長期の生態問題に依っています。

 

それは根本的に業の貪瞋痴三毒と、私達の金字塔文明の加速する大規模化・高速化・専門化に依っています。人間は社会的動物であるのでこれで生き残り成功してきましたが、今や自らと世界にとって反対に影響しています。

 

私達はこの過程を戒定慧の三学で帝網文化の質実・価値・聖性で減速し反転しなければなりません。人間は造作をしてこれに失敗して来ました、というのは皆象徴を操り、差別的我・国・種などを創り出したからです。

 

これをするには、覚醒道・地球倫理・自主的簡素の三柱に従って縁起法・5L・簡素生活に従い、五禍を捨て涅槃で五福を得て、甘露の神饌を味わい不畏にならなければなりません。

Note. 1. The Dharma of Dependent Co-origination teaches that all phenomena are inter-dependently co-originated on causes and conditions throughout space and time, thus there is no separate self-same self-sovereign Self, State, Species, etc., which means we must cooperate for a holy (wholly wholesome) way and world, not a sinful (separate sick) synergy and system.

 

 

We have a quiet and serene morning after sittings. The Doomsday Clock was further advanced to the shortest ever 100 seconds to the end of the world. This is due especially to imminent nuclear war and the pressing climate crisis, with long-term ecological problems such as mass extinction caused by mankind.

 

 

 

This is due fundamentally to the triple poisons of desire, divisiveness, and delusion in karma, and the accelerated scale, speed, and specialization of our pyramidal civilization. Humans have survived and succeeded in this, as they are social animals, but they are now reversely affecting themselves and the world.

 

 

 

We must reverse this process with the triple learnings of morality, concentration, and prognosis, going to nirvana with deceleration in quality, value, and holiness of an Indra-net culture. Humans have fabricated and failed in this, as they are symbol manipulators, which created a separate Self, Society, State, Species, etc.

 

 

 

As we do this, we must follow the triple pillars of the Awakened Way, Global Ethic, and Voluntary Simplicity, following the Dharma of Dependent Co-origination, the 5 Ls, plain life, discarding the Five Calamities, and attaining the Five Blisses in nirvana, tasting amrita, ambrosia of immortality, becoming fearless.

Note. 1. The Dharma of Dependent Co-origination teaches that all phenomena are inter-dependently co-originated on causes and conditions throughout space and time, thus there is no separate self-same self-sovereign Self, State, Species, etc., which means we must cooperate for a holy (wholly wholesome) way and world, not a sinful (separate sick) synergy and system.

 

  1. The Global Ethic is based on the Five Precepts of no killing, no stealing, no lying, no misuse of intoxicants, and no sexual misconduct, the last of which was reinterpreted into an equal partnership between men and women. These can be expressed as the Five Ls – Law (Universal Law or Dharma of Dependent Co-origination), Life, Liberation, Lielessness, Love.  A more detailed application of this is the Five Rs (in material flow) -Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rearrange, Restore – and the Five As (in information flow) – Access, Assess, Agree, Act, Advise.

 

  1. Little desire is the first item in the Eightfold Great Person’s Awakening advised by the Buddha, Dogen, et al., as their last teachings, which will solve our global problems, of all mass production, consumption, and wasting, destroying ecological systems. If we follow their advice as much as they actually lived, we can solve our global problematique. The eight items are as follows:

 

Eightfold Awarenesses / Awakenings of Great Persons (Pali/Sanskrit: Mahā-purisa-vitakka/-bodhi/mahā-puruṣa-vitarka/-bodhi):

 

  1. little desire (appiccha/appicchā)
  2. contentment (santuṭṭha/santuṣṭa)
  3. seclusion (pavivitta/pravivitta)
  4. striving (viriya)
  5. mindfulness (sati/smṛti)
  6. concentration (samāhia)
  7. prognosis (paňňā/prajňā)
  8. no speculation (appapaňca/aprapaňca)

 

  1. Symbol manipulator is one of the definitions of humans proposed by Ernst Alfred Cassirer (others: fabricating animal: homo faber, social animal: homo sociale, playing animal: homo ludens, etc.), well presenting that humans are skilled in using symbols, creating languages, myths, arts, religions, histories, sciences, etc., criticizing nationalism. Humans have been misled by nationalism, creating a century of “nationalism and wars,” now becoming the most imminent danger of doomsday. Good introductions to his thoughts are “An Essay on Man,” and “The Myth of the State.”

2020共通年1月25日 法話

 

1.縁起の法則は一切の現象が時空を通ずる因縁によって生起する、それだから分離した自己同一の自己主宰できる自我・自国・自種・等々は存在しない、これは私達が罪(分離病患)な方法と世界ではなく、聖(全体健全)なそれらの為に共同しなければならない、ということを教えています。

2.地球倫理は不殺生、不偸盗、不妄語、不飲酒、不邪淫の五戒を基にしており、最後のものを男女の平等な共同精神に再解釈したものです。これらは5Lに表現されうるでしょう:法則(縁起の普遍法則)、生命、自由、不偽(真実)、愛情。更に詳しい適用は(物質流では)5R(削減、再使用、再循環、再配置、修復元)、(情報流では)5A(アクセス、評価、賛同、行動、忠告)。

3.小欲は仏陀、道元などが最後の教えとした八大人覚の第一で、生態系を破壊している一切の大量生産・消費・廃棄の地球問題を解決するでしょう:

八大人覚・大人慮:

  1. 小欲
  2. 知足
  3. 離俗
  4. 精進
  5. 専念
  6. 集中(三昧)
  7. 智慧(般若)
  8. 不妄想(不戯論)

 

4.「象徴を操る者」はエルンスト・アルフレッド・カッシラーにより提示された人間の定義です(他には「製造動物」、「社会動物」、「遊戯動物」など)が、人間は言語、神話、芸術、宗教、歴史、科学等を生み出し、一方国家主義を批判し、象徴を用いるのに優れていると良く論じられたものです。人間は国家主義に誤って導かれて「国家主義と戦争の世紀」を生み出しましたが、これは今やそれは最も緊急な世界終末の危険と成っています。彼の思想の良い紹介は「人間」、「国家の神話」です。
