Humanistic Buddhism for Peace and Harmony in the World

The state of mind is reflected in our speech, behaviour and action that have impact on day to day life, way of dealing with others. Mind precedes actions which may be good or evil and the consequences of such action are inevitable.

As dharmmapada says, misguided and misdirected mind does to a person a greater harm then a bitter enemy. A well directed mind does to a person far greater god then one's parents one's kinsmen. Though one should conquer a million men in the battlefiled, yet he indeed is the noblest victor who has conquered himself.

Realizing these truths one should try to practise self restraints and self realization which help bring peace in mind.

Humanistic Buddhism relates 'dharma' to humanity and gives stress on the development of human values, human rights so to create a world of harmony, and peace. Humanistic Buddhism envisages a world which should be a symbol of unity in diversity and diversity in unity as a beauty, the fountain of world peace. The incessent effort of buddhist world should be to work with other religious faiths and associations working for peace to make people realize, the indispensability of peace for a better and safer world to live.
