There is no actual method to solve human problems other than Dharma practice
because every kind of problem comes from our delusions
anger, attachment, and mainly ignorance,
as well as jealousy and wrong views.
The creator of these problems is our own delusions.
Because we cannot control these delusions,
we ourself create so many human problems.
Especially now it seems as if modern human beings are like crazy.
Everybody is preparing powerful things to kill each other.
Every country is preparing powerful weapons, which can destroy thousands of human beings within a moment.
We are preparing things that kill ourselves! Animals are not doing this.
Animals are satisfied with just their daily food and their families.
We have created so many difficult things, preparing armies to kill human beings.
These armies, what have we prepared them to kill? Not animals, but human beings.
This is the same in every county, they are making many powerful weapons in order to kill human beings.
Therefore, human beings are constantly preparing to kill human beings themselves!
It looks like.. maybe I am wrong, please, but I think it is very stupid, you know! What meaning does this have?
Instead of this, we can love each other and respect each other we can become friends with each other.
We can improve our relationships and become friends.
If the people of all countries become friends with each other, why would we need armies? Maybe we wouldn’t need an army, because there is no enemy.
Love is the real nuclear bomb destroying the enemy. (spontaneous applause)...
If everybody practised love, the enemy would disappear, no enemy would remain, so this is the real nuclear bomb.
We know that our country is preparing nuclear bombs to destroy enemies,
but in reality this simply makes more enemies, increasing.
Because one country creates a nuclear bomb to kill their enemy,
the other country also prepares one, so this makes our enemies increase! It doesn’t work.
One person makes a decision, and millions of people suffer. It is very crazy.
Who is suffering? People are suffering.
The decision-makers themselves enjoy a higher reputation,
So who is suffering? People are suffering. It is so sad, you know.
Human beings are really, but still they believe that they have very special worldly attainments.
If we think deeply, other than Dharma there is no method to solve human problems.
This means other than the practice of patience, compassion, love, respect,
and the special recognition regarding other living beings as our mother, our brother, our sister.
For example, some countries say, "We are brothers and sisters. We are a community.
For example, Tibetan people say, "We are all brothers and sisters." So Americans can say, "We are brothers and sisters",
and the whole world can say, "We are human brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers."
Keep this recognition instead and forget the enemy.
If there is no enemy, then we don’t need a nuclear bomb, we don’t need armies, we don’t need to fight.
Therefore, improving our special recognition that is explained in Dharma teachings can solve human problems.
I am not telling you this because I myself am a Buddhist. It is very true.
But you can understand this through your own experience if you use your wisdom.
