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.
