Today I was listening to a sermon by a known Buddhist monk\nwith the caption  Ehipassiko in one of the TV channels .it was rather a\npolitical  speech based with Buddhist principles used as the background to\nadvise politicians and the people that timely action should at least be taken\nto avoid recurrence of Easter Day. Mayhem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venerable monk emphasised that certain state control should\nurgently exercised to prevent such. Incidents happening again by citing Saptha\nPanna Suthra of Buddha.State should take action to eradicate propaganda and\nbrainwashing of the people with Mithyadrushtika\u201d doctrines .He also tocuched\nabout unauthorised land alienation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously his sermon  was aimed at the current heads of\nstate with advise that immediate action shoul de taken .He mentioned about how\n Licchavi rulers .held meetings very often and discussed action to be\ntaken in the country by studying the daily occurrences and impose rules which\nare benevolent .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a prime minister and a head of state who are\nsupposed to be two licchavi brothers should hold meeting may be every other day\n( use Skype!) to avoid getting stuck in traffic due road closures when they\nmove out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few othe brothers from North ( may  be Viggy) ,from\nEast ( May  be ex chief minister who can recite Quran by heart -(that. Is\nwhy he is not only Al Haj but also a Hafeez) who will know what Quran\n dictates about violence ) and from South none other than MR shall meet\nregularly and initiate action for the sake of peace and harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is sad to say that all the leaders have some ulterior\nmotives hence none of them want to discuss openly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our  hypocritic rulers should go thru vigorous 5 to 10\nday retreat where they exchange the secrets and  come out with a vouch\nthat they will put the country in forefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly we should take a clue from HE The Cardinal  who\nis the sole speaker on behalf of Christians ( catholic  and from other\nsects) and get one of the prelates of Malwatu ,a Asgiri or any other ) be the\nspokesman for the Buddhists .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We should learn from India where Buddhism was borne .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We should learn from Modi from Bihar ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
