諸苦の解決
「東京には空が無い」と言った智恵子の言は広く都市には自然が無い、広い空も豊かな野も無いと解釈できる。コンクリートジャングルの摩天楼には争いがあり飛行機が激突し、古代文明の金字塔は廃墟と化し、現代文明は世界終末の危機にある。
８苦＋集合４苦は「己自身を知れ」「聖を求めよ」「克己者が最高戦勝者」「自然に帰れ」と呼びかけている。我・国等の世俗通念は象徴・業による仮構体であり縁起・無我の真相・法の真実態では無いと言う二諦説は近代科学・哲学も近づく。
金字塔文明を軸転換した軸時代の宗教・精神・文化革命は大自然の法理を法・道・神等としその真理・慈悲に習い人間界に普遍的に戒定慧等が行われる様に説き実践し共同体を作ったが、業三毒貪瞋痴三Mの金字塔構造が潜入する事が屡々あった。
覚道の根本普遍法「諸法の法」は縁起であり「一切現象は原因条件に縁り生起する」から一切相依相対であり何誰も孤立絶対主宰ではないとし我・国・種等の独占・独裁・戦争・核・破局は破戒不法非道で容認されてはならないことである。
覚道は誰でも静坐により業を静め涅槃（業風止）に入り法に目覚める事が出来仏（覚者）菩薩（覚道共有者）になり一切と共に友として諸苦を解決出来るとしたが聖（全体健全）帰一の諸宗教は必要時の友（Mitra/Mithra等）の理想を共有した。
金字塔文明は約５千年の歴史であるがそれ以前の宇宙・生命・人類・文化の歴史に比べれば極めて短く、例えば縄文文化１万年以上の半分以下であり、世界終末への袋小路に入った今変えるべきであり大衆多数必勝の覚醒活動により変えられる。
縄文文化は森と共生・共同・共栄し「今だけ金だけ自分だけ」でなく「命皆未来まで」と業三毒三M五禍（迷妄・差別・搾取・殺戮・破壊）の犠牲にならず大戦争・植民・奴隷・階級・核・破局の金字塔文明に至らず永続する事が出来たのである。
三だけ、三毒を三みな、三学に変えれば諸苦は解決し三M・五禍から三H・五福に変え、一切が平等・平和・自由・自治に変わり、金字塔文明の共死・共倒・共滅から命帝網文化の共生・共同・共栄へ価値・活動・生活・生命の転換ができる。
金字塔文明から命帝網文化への運動は軸時代以降繰り返され、現在も大衆の覚醒活動は続けられ世界各地で集合業四苦に反対するデモが湧き上がりつつある。我・国・企業・宗教・メデイア・教育機関は仮構体であると知り改革をすべきである。
他力本願では百年河清を待つになり、実現しないどころか、衆生「沈黙の春」「核の冬」「世界は燃える」の夏、「大量絶滅」どころか「一切絶滅の秋」、世界終末が何時来るかも知れない今・此処に自洲・法洲、自他共に友の一歩を踏み出そう！
Solutions to All Forms of Suffering
Chieko’s statement, “There is no sky in Tokyo,” can be understood more broadly to mean that cities lack nature—there are neither vast open skies nor abundant green fields. Amid the skyscrapers of the concrete jungle, conflicts arise and airplanes crash into skyscrapers. The pyramids of ancient civilizations have fallen into ruins, while modern civilization faces the danger of a global catastrophe that could bring about the end of the world.
The Eight Sufferings and Four Forms of Collective Suffering call upon us to “Know thyself,” “Seek holiness,” “The greatest victor is one who conquers oneself,” and “Return to nature.” Conventional notions such as the self and the state are constructs formed through symbols and karma, rather than independent realities corresponding to the ultimate truth of Dharma—dependent origination and no-self. Modern science and philosophy are increasingly approaching insights comparable to Buddhism’s Two Truths, which distinguish conventional truth from ultimate truth.
The religious, spiritual, and cultural revolutions of the Axial Age brought about a fundamental transformation of pyramidal civilization. They recognized the universal principles of nature under such names as Dharma, Dao, and Deus, and taught people to follow their truth and compassion. They advocated and practiced universal disciplines comparable to the Three Learning of morality, synthesis, and prognosis (śīla, samādhi, prajñā), establishing communities dedicated to these ideals. Yet the pyramidal structures of karma, the Three Poisons—greed, hatred, and delusion—and the Three Ms frequently infiltrated these religious and spiritual communities.
The fundamental universal law of the Awakened Way (Buddhism)—the Dharma of all dharmas—is dependent origination: “All phenomena originate depending on causes and conditions.” Therefore, all things and beings are interrelated and relative; nothing and no one exists in isolation, possesses absolute independence, or exercises ultimate sovereignty. Consequently, monopolization, dictatorship, war, nuclear catastrophe, and civilizational collapse arising from the absolutization of the self, state, race, or other identities constitute violations of the precepts, the universal law, and the true Way. Such actions must never be accepted or justified.
The Awakened Way teaches that anyone can calm karmic activities through serene sitting, enter nirvāṇa (the cessation of the karma winds), and awaken to the Dharma. Thus, everyone has the potential to become a Buddha (Awakened One) or a Bodhisattva (one who shares and practices the Awakened Way), working together with all beings as friends to resolve every form of suffering. The world’s religions, seeking a return to holiness (wholly wholesomeness), have also shared the true friendship in need, idealized as Mitra and Mithra, et al.
Pyramidal civilization has a history of approximately 5,000 years, an exceedingly brief period compared with the immense histories of the universe, life, humanity, and human culture. It is less than half the duration of Japan’s Jōmon culture, which continued for more than 10,000 years. Now that pyramidal civilization has entered a dead end threatening global catastrophe, it must be transformed. Such transformation is possible through the awakened actions of the great majority of people, whose collective efforts can ultimately prevail.
Jōmon culture maintained coexistence, cooperation, and co-prosperity with forests and the natural world. Rather than pursuing “Only Now, Only Money, Only Myself,” it exemplified the possibility of living for “All Life, into the Future.” Without succumbing to the Three Poisons, the Three Ms, and the Five Calamities—delusion, discrimination, exploitation, slaughter, and destruction—it endured without developing into a pyramidal civilization characterized by large-scale warfare, colonization, slavery, rigid class hierarchies, nuclear weapons, and catastrophic destruction.
By transforming the Three Onlys into the Three Alls, and the Three Poisons into the Three Learning, we can resolve the various forms of suffering. We can transform the Three Ms and Five Calamities into the Three Hs (Holy Life, Heart, Harmony) and Five Blessings—awakening, freedom, equality, friendship, and peace. All beings can then enjoy equality, peace, freedom, and autonomy. We can transform our values, actions, lifestyles, and lives themselves—from the shared death, shared downfall, and shared extinction of pyramidal civilization to the coexistence, cooperation, and co-prosperity of the Culture of the Life–Indra’s Net.
Movements to transform pyramidal civilization into the Culture of the Life Indra-net have arisen repeatedly since the Axial Age. Even today, the awakened actions of ordinary people continue, with demonstrations emerging around the world against the Four Collective Karmic Suffering—dictatorship, war, nuclear catastrophe, and civilizational collapse. We must recognize that the selves, states, corporations, religions, media organizations, and educational institutions are all fictitious bodies rather than absolute realities. They must therefore be critically examined and reformed.
If we merely depend on others to fulfill our aspirations, we will be like those who wait a hundred years for a muddy river to become clear. Not only will our ideals remain unrealized, but all living beings may face a “Silent Spring,” a “Nuclear Winter,” a summer in which “the World Is Burning,” and an autumn of not merely “Mass Extinction” but potentially “Total Extinction.” We do not know when a global catastrophe might occur. Therefore, here and now, let us take the first step, relying on ourselves as our refuge and the Dharma as our refuge (atta-dīpa, dhamma-dīpa), becoming friends to ourselves and others, and working together for the well-being of all beings!
