Lord Buddha's teachings for the development of humanity
What are the Buddha's views on the values raised by Karl Marx? Karl Marx begins his idea by exploiting the poor. This was exactly the question posed by Buddha. Lord Buddha said- "There is sorrow in the world. Sorrow is not the use of the word 'exploitation', but the foundation of our religion was laid on the sorrow of human beings." The word grief is interpreted in many ways Some people have interpreted it as the cycle of birth and death. In many places in Buddhist literature, the word 'grief' is used in the sense of poverty. Thus we find that as far as the foundation is concerned The two are the same, so there is no need for Buddhists to go to Karl Marx to get to the bottom.
Buddha has already laid this foundation very firmly. It is from here that Lord Buddha started his first sermon "Dhammachakra Pramukh Sutra". Those who have been attracted to Karl Marx, read this 'sutra' and see what Lord Buddha has said? The Buddha has not laid the foundation of his Dhamma on God, soul or any divine basis. He put his finger on the real fact of life - "People are living life in distress. Whatever is in Communism, it is in Buddhist Dhamma in sufficient quantity. These things were said only 2400 years before Buddha Marx was born."
As far as property is concerned, you will find that there is a lot of similarity between the principles of Karl Marx and Buddha. Karl Marx said that to prevent exploitation, the owner of all property land, factories etc. should be the state so that no private owner can come in and establish his right on the benefit of the workers. Look at the Buddhist Monks Association, what rules did Buddha make for Buddhist monks?
According to the Buddha's rule, "No Buddhist monk will hold personal property. Apart from a few exceptions, it is also seen that Buddhist monks have no personal property. In fact, the Buddha's rules for union are more difficult than the rules of communism in Russia." .
What was the Buddha's purpose behind creating the Sangha? If we look at history, it is known that at the time when Buddha was spreading his Dhamma, there were 'Parivrajaks'. The word 'family' means a person who has lost his family. Probably during the era of Aryans, their tribes fought among themselves. Some of them wandered here and there, devoid of door-to-door. The Buddha organized these transcendentalists and explained the rules of life to these transcendentalists.
The Buddha resorts to persuasive moral teaching and affection to comply with his principles. They win over their opponents with love, not power. Buddha never allows violence. Follow your principles, work on your own. This is the path shown by Buddha. The most important thing that Buddha told the world is that we cannot bring any change in people unless we change the mindset of the people. If a mental change took place, if people adopted the communist system lovingly and honestly, it would be a permanent thought and order. No soldiers or police will be required to keep people organized.
Buddha makes you and your thinking so energetic that you become your own sentinel. The world's biggest problem is grief, and grief can be better addressed through Buddhist Dhamma.
