Light the World with Faith

World-PEC [World Peace Ethics Contest] 2009

 

Nowadays, speaking of World Peace in the atmosphere of the flames from war, terrorism, environmental problems and the world economic crisis where the morality within humankind has deteriorated due to the progress of high technology and the expansion of many inappropriate values causing various social problems, seems too far-fetched to make World peace happen.  Innumerable international conferences for searching for the solutions to achieve World peace were held, yet it seems everybody still calls out for world peace. How can we make this word happen in the real world?

 

The Dhammakaya temple with the association of Dhammakaya foundation and Dhammakaya temple's branches throughout  the world have considered the World Peace Ethics Contest or World-PEC a very beneficial project. The benefit of World-PEC is that it enables thousands of contestants from 60 nationalities from six continents to study Dhamma - the lord Buddha's teachings, which are supreme and universal spiritual truths and codes of conduct that everybody, regardless of races and religions, can learn and put into practice to accrue benefits to them and their families. This time, the book used for the examination is “Faith, The Dawn of World Peace", which is complied from the preaching of the more venerable Pra Bhavanaviriyakhun (Luang Phaw Dattajeevo). The content of this valuable book helps explain that human is born with Ignorance, Sufferings and Fear, which lead them to choose to take refuge in things that can suppress their sufferings for only a short period of time, and stop them from searching for the true cause of Ignorance, sufferings and Fear to eradicate them completely.

 

The true faith in Buddhism is " Tatagatabhodhisatta" (Faith in the Lord Buddha's Wisdom) since it is faith that gives birth to Wisdom to completely eradicate the seeds of sufferings and Ignorance and encourage the believers to set the goals and have moral support to follow "the Eightfold path to Nirvana" and have the wisdom to eradicate the ignorance, sufferings and fear permanently and this knowledge is not restricted to Buddhists only. Everybody in the world, regardless of races and religions can practice "The Eight Ways to Nirvana" and attain Dhamma the same.

 

 To develop the qualities of the believers of "Tatagatabhodhisatta", we must develop within us three qualities; there are Discipline, Respect and Patience. To instill the Faith of "Tatagatabhodhisatta", we must perform it in our five rooms; bedroom, bathroom, dining room, dressing room and office or study room.

 

The minds of the believers of "Tatagatabhodhisatta"  will be brightened in all positions, wether they stand, walk, sit or lie down, their minds will be brightened like having the full moon inside their body with their eyes open or shut, just like the saying," when we are brightened, the world is brightened". The inner light is actually the source of limitless morale support in accruing merits and persuing Perfections without feeling discouraged in performing good deeds. The believers of "Tatagatabhodhisatta" , therefore, will be the people who have enormous morale support to make World peace happen.

 

World peace might sound too grand to be true but it actually starts from a small spot which is ourselves. Through studying Dhamma through the book " Faith, The Dawn of World Peace". If we all instill the Right Faith in our mind all the time, the small thing which leads to the great thing creating the inner peace called World peace will happen in our world for sure.
