THERAVADA BUDDHISMUS

               

         Der Name des Gründers von dem, was im Westen als Buddhismus bekannt ist, war
Gotama, dies ist der Name des Clans oder der Familie, der er angehörte. Das Wort "Buddha" bedeutet "der Erwachte" oder "der Erleuchtete", und ist kein Name, sondern ein Ehrentitel, welcher dem weisen Gotama verliehen wurde weil er die Erleuchtung unter dem Bodhi-Baum in Buddhagaya in Indien erlangt hatte.

အေကာင္းသံသရာႏွင္႔ အဆိုးသံသရာ

          ဓမၼတာအားၿဖင္႔ ၿမင္႔ၿမတ္သူတို႔ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေသာ ႏုိင္ငံသည္ သာယာ၏။ ယုတ္ညံ႔သူတုိ႔အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေသာႏုိင္ငံသည္ မသာယာ။

             ေလာကၿဖစ္စဥ္တို႔သည္လည္းေကာင္း၊ ေလာကခ်ဳပ္စဥ္တို႔သည္လည္းေကာင္း ပဋိစၥ သမုပါဒ္ ေဒသနာေတာ္အရ စက္ဝိုင္းသဖြယ္ၿဖစ္ပါ၏။ ထုိ႔ေႀကာင္႔ တရားႏွင္႔ အညီ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေသာဘုရင္မ်ား စိုးစံေသာအခါ ႏိုင္ငံေတာ္သည္ သာယာေအးခ်မ္း၏။

“Love! Love! The more they love, the more they are insatiate, just as they cannot quench their thirst by drinking salty water. Love, pema or tanha, turns a blind eye to one’s defects; expecting happiness through love, one nurtures loves. This is the way of love, the nature of love”

Venerable Ashin Virathus’ thoughts about U Gambira

From Aung San Suu Kyi

 

“If you're feeling helpless, help someone.”

…………………………………………..

“The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear”

…………………………………….

“You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right.”

……………………………………………………………………

“Fear is a habit; I am not afraid.”

……………………………………

“To view the opposition as dangerous is to misunderstand the basic concepts of democracy. To oppress the opposition is to assault the very foundation of democracy.”

…………………………………………………………….

“I don't believe in people just hoping. We work for what we want. I always say that one has no right to hope without endeavor, so we work to try and bring about the situation that is necessary for the country, and we are confident that we will get to the negotiation table at one time or another.”
