怨憎会苦の解決
愛別離苦も怨憎会苦も社会における人間の愛憎関係により生じ、業による貪瞋により生ずるが根本は痴による。怨憎は人間社会の正義・倫理破綻、殺・盗・偽・淫・醉破戒に対する被害者の加害者に対する嫌悪・憎悪・反感による苦と言えよう。
昔は即座に決闘をし一生賭けて仇討ちをし世界中を巻き込んで何千億の人間を殺傷し財産を没収し民族を滅ぼし核被害を出し環境を破壊し或一生を奴隷の身に落としめたりしたがその苦を無くす為に習慣・制度を改め戒・法を定め守る様になった。
直接加害者が近くに居ない様に見えても間接的に遠くに居る場合もある。マスコミの発達した現代では独裁者などによる戦争・非道・無知などにより個人・社会・環境・政治・経済・社会・文化が被害を受けるのを毎日見るのは怨憎会苦に当たる。
直接被害を受ける者は勿論間接的に物価高・生活苦等を被り精神的には大きな苦痛となる。気候変動は氷河崩落洪水・台風・酷暑・火災・大雨・生態変化・生業破壊等生むが汚染者と被害者が異なったり、実は自分も加害者出あったり複雑である。
ブッダ（覚者）は「人間の流した涙は大海より大きい」と言ったがその解決の第一歩は五戒を守る事であり更に定慧の実践により三学を実習する事とした。苦は無量無限であり自他共に解決するしかない。諸悪莫作、諸善奉行、自浄其意である。
業風に吹き飛ばされ業火に焼かれ業三毒の奴隷にならず、過去に縛られず未来に執着せず今此処に業苦を静め覚め知恵と慈悲を働かせて人類・生類共同社会・世界をを共に友として築き生きるに値する生活・人生・一生を生きよう！喫茶去賞禅味！
1993年世界宗教会議は五戒・十戒等の共通項を再定義し地球倫理として発出し、元国家元首等構成のインターアクション協会はそれによる「世界人間責任宣言」を国連に発布するよう要請した。これ等を各人各機関が守れば怨憎会苦は無くせる。
ブッダは普遍法縁起により相依・相対世界に孤立・絶対は無く平等・平和・自由・自治を勧め「怨みは怨みにより鎮まらず怨み無きにより鎮まる」とし怨恨の連鎖を断ち切るよう教えた。普遍法・国際法等を人類・生類として守り苦を無くしよう！
Solution to Suffering of Encountering Hated
Both the suffering of separation from those we love (aibetsuri-ku) and the suffering of encountering those we hate (onzōe-ku) arise from human relationships of love and hate in society. They arise from karmically conditioned greed and hatred, but at their root lies nescience (of self). The suffering of encountering what we hate may be understood as the suffering caused by the victim’s aversion, hatred, and resentment toward those who violate justice and ethics in human society by breaking the precepts against killing, stealing, falsehood, sexual misconduct, and intoxication.
In former times, people might immediately resort to duels, devote an entire lifetime to revenge, involve the whole world in wars that killed and wounded countless millions, confiscate property, destroy peoples and cultures, inflict nuclear devastation, destroy the environment, or reduce human beings to lifelong slavery. In order to reduce such suffering, humanity has gradually changed its customs and institutions, established ethical precepts and laws, and sought to observe them.
Even when the direct perpetrator does not appear to be nearby, the causes of our suffering may lie far away and affect us indirectly. In our modern age of mass media, we witness every day the damage inflicted upon individuals, societies, the environment, politics, economics, and culture by war, injustice, and ignorance, including those associated with authoritarian rule. This too can be understood as a form of the suffering of encountering what we hate.
Those who are directly harmed naturally suffer, but others may also suffer indirectly through rising prices, economic hardship, and profound psychological distress. Climate change brings melting glaciers, floods, typhoons, extreme heat, fires, torrential rains, ecological disruption, and the destruction of livelihoods. Yet the relationships between those who cause pollution and those who suffer its consequences are complex: perpetrators and victims may be different people, while we ourselves may also contribute to the causes of the harm.
The Buddha, the Awakened One, taught that the tears we have shed through our long wandering are greater than the waters of the oceans. The first step toward resolving such suffering is to observe the Five Precepts, and further, through the practice of samādhi (synthesis, right samadhi is zen: meditation) and wisdom, to cultivate the Triple Learning: morality, concentration, and wisdom (sīla, samādhi, paññā). Suffering is immeasurable and seemingly endless; therefore, we must work toward its resolution for both ourselves and others:
Do no evil.
Practice all that is good.
Purify one’s own mind.
Rather than being blown about by the winds of karma, burned by the fires of karma, and enslaved by the three karmic poisons, let us neither remain bound by the past nor cling to the future. Here and now, let us calm karmic suffering, awaken, and exercise wisdom and compassion. Let us build together, as friends, a shared community and world of humanity and all living beings, and live a life—a whole lifetime—truly worth living.
Kissa ko! — Have some tea!
Taste the flavor of Zen!
In 1993, the Parliament of the World’s Religions reformulated ethical principles shared by traditions such as the Five Precepts and the Ten Commandments and issued them as a Global Ethic. The InterAction Council, composed by former heads of state and government, scholars, et al, subsequently proposed a Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities and called for its consideration by the United Nations. If individuals and institutions alike embody such shared responsibilities, we can greatly reduce the suffering caused by encountering what we hate.
The Buddha taught through the universal Dharma of Dependent Origination that in our interrelatedt and relative world nothing exists in absolute isolation and sovereignty. He encouraged equality, peace, freedom, and autonomy, and taught:
“Hatred is never appeased by hatred;
but non-hatred is hatred appeased.”
Thus he taught us to break the chain of resentment and retaliation. Let us, as humanity and as fellow living beings, uphold universal Dharma, international law, and the ethical principles that sustain our common life, and work together to end suffering!
From hatred to non-hatred.
From karma to Dharma.
From suffering to wisdom and compassion.
From an isolated self-world to our shared world.
