OUR BUDUNWAHANSE

Ithipiso bhagawa arahan samma sambuddo

Vijjacharana sampanno

Sugatho lokawidhu

Anuththaro purisadamma saarathi

Satta dewa manussanan Buddho Bhagawathi

The realities are in our vicinities. The temporality of this and that of life and related things I experienced this morning. You see something this moment and when next moment comes it has disappeared. Our Budunwahanse taught this lesson long, long ago including many other lessons . 

 

I note following mainly to refresh my mind over this unbreakable reality of life.  

Observed a death of a Thambilee tree a moment ago.  Let me go back to its unknown history. The time or the moment it planted by who ever the person who had the idea to plant it in this soil, the time periods it grown with facing all sorts of hazards, changes it showed over the period of time ,sometimes giving natural refreshments to life around, some shade of course, adding some colours to the world of colours.   The death of such a thing is just lifting a weapon away thing I thought. 

Our Budunwahanse the world best well trained guide who always takes all the human begins around world sometimes bring any city closer to your eye site. ‘ Kapilawasthupura’ is near you now. Before your eyes, within your within, not destroying the hopes of joining a vital pilgrimage of some people or of any people due to various reasons of life.

Travel around the world with a good guide. Follow the instruction he gives, listen to the instructions he gives, read the instructions he has printed for you, these vital teachings of our Budunwahanse are printed on everywhere on this universe what you just need to have is clear eyes and some understanding, no matter what literacy level you may hold if you have the ability to read what is there around your vicinity, the changes that may appear from time to time, from moment to moment, changes of faces of people, the appearances, the behaviors, the decisions, the choices, the preferences, hopes and aims or objectives of life reading life is not that difficult i believe.

Obey the time  and meet the things on time if not you will miss some of the vital things that you should embrace of the journey/pilgrimage of life our Budunwahanse will guide you and takes you to the right place this time it is 'the city of many treasures 'Kapiliawasthupura.

He is the world best guide that you will only meet once in life time. ‘OUR BUDUNWAHANSE’ No one will guide you the way that the religious leaders guide, the teachings they have taught the whole world have tested over years in many different ways, in everyway, using this and that of social indicators, putting them in to all types of human laboratories,

Many other theories, concepts, findings , innovations sometimes proved wrong or changed over years adding this and that of their experiences but few other things remains as ‘right’ or as ‘truth’. This life truth, the teachings of Lord Buddha no one could ever prove wrong or change, this truth remains unchanged.

 ‘Our Budunwahanse’ let me come back to this title a little bit. Some things we can say that we own this, we own that, this belongs to us, that belong to them. But there are things that we can jointly use or can use without thinking of the ownership of something in far distancing the idea of selfishness. these are borrowed word you may have read this or heard this before. life is about sharing the vital things in unity not everything though.

 ‘our’ ‘ours’

There are ways to show ownership and friendships let me note one more time.  ‘The word ‘our’ has a very broad meaning.  We say our country, our people, our culture, our house, our teacher, our president, our party, our village, our shop, our etc, etc.  We generally use this only for the things that are very close to our hearts and minds. It is very rare that we use something or a person who was born in another country. That is very, very rare.  Here no one will complain or will not say anything if we use the words ‘OUR BUSDUNWAHANSE’ for Budunwahanse. 

The word ‘Ours’  give you a plural meaning.  Our Budunwahanse belongs to this whole universe. Therefore our Budunwahanse is ours.

We sometimes beg for something from friends, relatives.  Begging and asking, requesting are ways of asking things and we use these words depending on the relationship we have with the friends, community members, countries etc. there are things that we do not or never beg. There are things that we never ask but request. There are some other things that we don’t mind begging’.

We can ask something from a friend, country sometimes depending on political or apolitical relationships we maintain with each other. We do not beg something if that harms or ruins our dignity but if such reactions or actions will lead for the benefit of the public, country we do not hesitate to do that.

We discuss various things when we meet different people. We discuss different things with different people in different locations or occasions, political and apolitical.  

Sometimes some discussions and meetings lead to so much of gaining in a very broader way and meaningful way. The state leaders meet for this and that purposes of improving the relationships aiming many differet things sometimes to maintain better cultural relationships sometimes these meetings leads for the long lasting approaches of world peace.

This particular formal meeting held with two very close neighbors was not just a meeting the results of that meeting are before our eyes now.

Our Budunwahanse  is near us more than ever before.    

  

My mind goes back to the era of ‘Devanam Piyatissa’ (deviyanta priya wu )  the relationships that the king maintained with Emperror Ashoka.  The things that we exchange sometimes ‘widen or strengthen the relationships between countries.

that was history we are facing 'today' the historians will write history of today may be tomorrow or day after or after many decades these discussions cultural or political or apolitical the future historians may allocate a huge space in the books of history they publish one day.

this particular even of religious will be written in a special way i am sure.   

Some relationships can be cultural, political, friendly, or religious, some things are stick to their very main regions and some others go beyond regions.

There are ways to have peace and maintain its to the maximum level  and this very religious vital event is once again proving it to the maximum 'this is a way to world peace'   this new journey that began a day ago should not stop here in this country this journey should continue towards all other parts of Asia, Africa, Europe and to everywhere this will surely help to maintain the world peace among and within everyone. i believe.

‘Our Budunwahanse’ tighten and strengthen the relationships between human beings everyway and let me say all the possible ways. 

Oba semata BUDUSARANA WEWA!
