~ Buddhism and living and democratization in Myanmar - [Finished]
2012/07/11
now、Myanmar, one of the hottest countries in the world。An event where you can directly hear the raw appearance from local people、It was held at the welfare center on Saturday, June 30。the guest speaker、This is Kaneko Tigiwin, who has been living in Japan for 10 years.。
The theme is "Myanmar - Buddhism, Life and Democratization"。How Buddhism is integrated into the life of Myanmar people、And he touched on the issue of democratization, which is a recent concern.。
About Buddhism。Monks in Myanmar cannot get married (except for those who become priests after marriage) and do not pay for their own purchases.。On the contrary, do not touch money with your own hands。Even when going from house to house with alms、If no one comes out for more than 3 minutes, don't wait any longer, etc.、As people who discipline themselves by strict teachings、respected by the people。Therefore, Mr. Tigiwin, who grew up in a normal family,、I have heard sutras since I was a child.、I remember。
It is also a teaching of Buddhism、Do not allow lying or stealing for your own greed (even if it is 1 yen),、Do not allow the killing of animals, including fish.、do not allow cheating、Dress properly when meeting superiors.、people donate to the temple、Visit a temple if you have time。in such a climate、It seems that Mr. Tigiwin also spent a calm and enjoyable day.。
However、It seems that Buddhism was also powerless before the democratization problem.。This is because the teachings of Buddhism are to “endure no matter what” and “if the opponent is a powerful force,、It is said that this is because it tends to foster a mental soil that makes it easy to resist.。nevertheless、Situation in Myanmar、Especially as I learned about the treatment of Myanmar monks in the media,、It hurt me so much。at the same time、Myanmar is by no means a dangerous country、It used to be a very quiet and peaceful place.、Tigiwin said strongly。
Otherwise、Food customs and events in Myanmar、"Burmese Lyre"、In stories such as Myanmar characters、finished the first half。
cute myanmar characters。
The reason may be that many people live alone.、The gentle melody of Burmese harp as BGM、Ms. Thigiwin creates traditional Myanmar costumes and fabrics、Introduced books, magazines, etc.。
and the second half、It was time for a question and answer session with the participants.。Due to cultural differences with Japan、Religious issues in Myanmar、Questions popped up about problems that erupted in the democratization movement、Mr. Tigiwin answered them politely.。What You Never Knew、In addition, it was two hours that I learned anew the side of Myanmar that was conversely covered up by the media.。
Invite people from different countries、A series to learn about the unknown life of the country "Everyone talks with everyone"。Next time September 1st、Romania HenIs!
