MY PHILOSOPHY OF ACTION (THE DHARMA SOLDIER)

 

MY PHILOSOPHY OF ACTION

(THE DHARMA SOLDIER)

 

      In these past two years, our human family throughout the world has met monumental challenges and suffering, for many of us the most drastic in our lifetimes. Today we all have a role to play in the rising tide of collective awakening to injustice and systemic inequalities. Together we continue to face the climate and ecological crisis, the corona virus crisis, and a societal crisis in terms of poverty, class inequality, and the imbalance of power and militarization of our world. It is abundantly clear how all these elements are interconnected consequences of the fundamental human crisis, the spiritual crisis. Due to our unskillful, toxic, exploitative, and discriminative ways of living to get position and property brought havoc in our lives. Thus, there was the continual emergence of our tradition of Engaged Buddhism, of contemplative actions for a healthy, compassionate, and awakened society.

          Today, Indians are facing social, economic, and political and health crisis at national level as well as global spectrum. So we need to reform our country in all respects to have a just society to lead peaceful, harmonious and happy life. If not the future generations will face many problems. For that the Association of   Dharma Soldier’s (A Socially engaged Buddhist organization) launched a project which is based on the teachings of the Buddha. Below, I have given necessary information to all the wise.

           The Government of India requested me to contribute freely for “reforms in India”. I accepted such request and decided to work rest of my life for the positive change in all the factors of India.  I support, care, cooperate, help and protect through Association of Dharma Soldier’s all the beings without any discrimination freely. I am happy to say that, I did immense service to our country for the last forty (40) years for free of cost and now I am continuing the same.

        The 'Dhamma soldier' work toward the twin goals mentioned in the ancient Indian philosophy i.e. “For one’s own salvation and the welfare of the world”. In pursuit of the first goal, we practice spirituality i.e. Vandanā, Dhyāna, Dhamma Sravanaṃ to enrich our individual spiritual growth. In pursuit of the second, we do limitless good-deeds (sat-karma) to serve the beings.

      The Dhamma soldier ensure a smile on the face of every suffering being.  Ours is the most reliable wheel for peace, prosperity & happiness for all the beings.

       The Dharma Soldier’s reform movement: Practice and compassionate action which transform practitioners (sādhak) from mundane level to transcendental level.

      Also this Dharma Soldier’s reform movement can uproot ‘social, political, economic suffering and injustice’.  My work focus will be on reforms in police mission, strengthen judicial system and eradicate corruption.  

 

      Indian civilization has accorded immense importance to knowledge and wisdom. The practitioner can attain moksha/Nirvana by practicing our ancient spiritual system by purifying himself. We use ‘Indian knowledge system’ or ‘Bhāratīya Jñana Parampara’ to reform our nation and train up youngsters.

      Moreover, this movement invites everyone without any kind of discrimination.  The Dhamma soldier’s reform movement philosophy looks like humanistic Buddhistic way. We also conduct various Dharma activities to improve knowledge of the masses.

       I am doing this kind of service with the experiences; I had when I affected negatively due to suicidal demands from personal background and attempted murders from the world around me.  I also experienced protests against my life several times to take forcibly my position and property.

 The Dharma Soldier is who works to come out from ‘ills’ (i.e. Lobha (greediness), Dosa (anger) and Moha (ignorance) within and ‘Evil' (i.e. dacoit, looting or constitutional looting, cheating, consumption of drugs, prostitution, administering with lame excuses, by mistakes, blaming etc.) around himself to achieve what he aspired in the life. His ultimate goal is to attain Nibbāna.

I teach ‘socially engaged Buddhism’ not the ancient Buddhist scriptures which are very difficult to practice also quite suitable to our present day life which is influenced by science and technology. Every practitioner will learn what is science & technology and how to utilize it for the betterment of humanity and not for destruction of any. 

         Nowadays unfortunately many people are leading sinful way of life. Generally everyone should work hard to transform himself to make his life successful. One can attain the transcendental stage after transforming himself from the ‘wrong way of life’ to the ‘right way of life’, this is the Law of nature.  For that, one have to practice morality, prayers, meditation etc. and he should do good deeds also every day without fail.

          Also the downtrodden people of India should not run behind position and property.  They should strive to transform themselves utilizing the Government policies and privileges.  But unfortunately some of these people going behind material comforts.

        The Buddha’s teachings are to extinguish suffering by transcending oneself from mundane level to transcendental level.  If you don’t walk on the path of transformation, nobody can walk for you.

         I am sincerely of the opinion that we need to reform to bring in the cyclical change in the below mentioned categories:

1.    Failure of Indian national policy.

2.    Organizational failure.

3.    No Placement.

4.    Pendency of 4.50 crore of cases in the judicial system.

5.    Mistaken judgments are coming out.

6.    Poor standard of living.

7.    High corruption in the government.

8.    Police Department personnel are highly incapable of dealing in critical cases and susceptible to domination from political class.

9.    High corruption in the education system – all pervasive academic mafia.

a)    Reservation system

b)    Handicapped persons and some unqualified SC/ST persons and their protests.

10. Political corruption is very high and it is increasing.

11. Economic imbalances among the citizens of India.

12. Immoral and caste based society can’t bring happy, peaceful and harmonious life.

13. Global pollution and ecological imbalances etc.

14. Clean and safe drinking water crisis.

15. Pollution and unclean surroundings.

16. Buddha preached to come out from suffering but some people are misusing to make position and property, it should be reformed. 

        Few Non-Government organizations already associated with our Dharma Soldier’s movement.  We can do positive and fruitful work if one and all come forward to join hands to work with this already successful philosophy.  I am ready to discuss with the individuals and groups who are interested to deal similar kind of things to find a common platform to march forward.

       Moreover, the Dharma Soldier’s movement has got good support internationally. The wise has praised the philosophy of action and also this kind of ‘Art of living’ that which eradicate suffering.

        The central and state Government ministers, many civil servants in Andhra pradesh and professors etc. luckily all these people appreciated and welcomed my philosophy of action to reform ourselves and our nation.
