POLITICAL HINDUISM & ISLAM ATTACKING BUDDHISM

Introduction
Political Hinduism and Islam attracking Buddhism
Modern leaders of eclectic, syncretistic and apologistic ‘Hinduism’ scarcely reveal an awareness of the delicate difficulty in understanding the faith of other men.  Hindu leaders could not control and absorb Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.  


Resolutions adopted during the 18th W.F. B. (World Fellowship of Buddhists), General Conference in Taiwan, dated October 27 – November 2, 1992; (1) “Whereas the Buddhagaya Management Committee is now headed by Hindu (the magistrate of Gaya District), and a committee of eight persons of whom four are Hindus. (2) Whereas this is a very painful situation concerning a sacred religious place of one religious community being controlled by a group of people belonging to a difference faith whose avowed goals are detrimental to the interests of the other religion.

Therefore let it resolved that the Indian Buddhist community exert all efforts immediately to galvanize international opinion in relevant international organizations including UNESCO to address the plight of Buddhist community at Buddhagaya. Further resolved that world Buddhists make an appropriate demarche on the Indian Government to guarantee the management of Buddha Gaya (Bodhgaya) by Indian Buddhists soon.
It is also most remarkable that Political Islam destroyed several Buddhist temples in Ramu, Ukhiya and Patiya dated September 29, 2012.  In 1202  A. D.  Islamic Turks had destroyed Chittagong (and several parts of Bangladesh) Buddhist  kingdom,  Nalanda University and killed Buddhist monks  Buddhism in  South Asia (Bangladesh, India  and Pakistan).
Vedic Brahmanism was started to absorb Buddhism and Poet Valmiki (or editors) abused the Buddha in its Ramayana, Ayodhya Kanda (chapter), Verse No. 32, “Buddha is like a thief, know Tatagata (Buddha) to be an atheist.” Historically the Ramayana was copied it from the Buddhist Dasaratha Jataka No. 461 (Daily Anandabazar Patrika dated August 22, 1993) and identifying the Dasaratha Jataka Lord Buddha said, At that time the king Suddhodana was king Dasaratha, Mahamaya was the mother, Rahula’s mother was Sita, Ananda was Bharata, Sariputta was Lakkhana, the assembly was a Buddha assembly and I myself was a scholar Rama.”

Hindu Management Committee in Buddhagaya:


Government of India has violated our Buddhists’ rights in creating the Hindu Management Committee in Buddhagaya where the Lord Buddha attained his supreme enlightenment 2555 years ago. Hindu fundamentalists took over the holiest pilgrimage the Mahabodhi Temple (of the Buddhagaya) in the Buddhist world. It is remarkable that the triumph over prejudice and ignorance is a triumph for us all. Non-Buddhists should not interfere into the Indian minority Buddhists’ religious freedom in the Buddhagaya management Committee in Bihar, India. Every religion is good without violence.

Resolutions of the World Fellowship of Buddhists.



(3) Whereas in the legitimate struggle of the Indian Buddhists to put an end to the sacrilege (Siva linga) that is being perpetrated at the sacred Buddhist site of Buddha Gaya, a historic duty and responsibility is cast upon the rest of the world Buddhist community to extend its fullest support, morally, financially, materially and vocally toward this cause.
(4) Whereas we express our grateful thanks to the Venerable Japanese Bhikkhu Sangha (Buddhist Monks’ Council), including the Most Venerable Nagarjun Shurai Sasai for the espousing the sacred cause of the Indian Buddhists from many parts of the globe assembled in Taiwan for the 18th General Conference of the W.F.B., express our complete solidarity with the Indian and Japanese Buddhists to preserve the sanctity of Buddha for Buddhists.
(5) Therefore Let it be Resolved that the WFB. Efforts immediately to galvanize international opinion in relevant international organizations to address the plight of Buddhist community at Buddhagaya, further resolved that the WFB. Make an appropriate demarche on the Indian Government to guarantee the management of Buddhagaya by Indian Buddhists.”
In the Bodhgaya Management Committee’s misuse of non-Buddhist Members power creates this problem. The non-Buddhists and Brahmins members should understand that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).” There is no common sense of human rights in Brahmanism and the Hindu society. There is a tragedy of caste system in the Hindu society. There are many Hindus who wish to convert into Buddhism. Brahmin priests’ tumultuous legacy of caste & livelihood system makes their followers captives of their faith. Lord Buddha taught them non-violence, love, wisdom and compassion. In India 2600 years ago after attained the supreme enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, Lord Buddha declared, “May all beings be happy.” He added anti-clericalism of Brahmins caste system of Indian society is a movement that opposes religious interference into public and political life and more generally the encroachment of religion in the citizens’ lives. The Buddha did not believe in Brahmin’s philosophy of division of mankind. He founded the Path of Universal Peace (Buddhism) to preach a way of life and inspired to attain spiritual enlightenment irrespective of castes, color, and religions.
Whereas after India regained political independence from the British, the Government of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru took the wheel of Buddha’s Dharma (Ashok cakra) on the national flag, the official seal of the government contains Ashokan symbols of the beating the drums of righteousness in all the four quarters of the world symbolized by the roaring lions facing the directions and surmounted by the sacred wheel of the Buddha. At that time Indian Government made certain changes and gave representation to Buddhists to protect, control, maintain and develop the world Buddhists’ most sacred place of Buddha Gaya for the benefit of Buddhist worship.

Greed

Greed (several Brahmin priests or every fundamentalists of any religion) and hatred (several Hindu and Brahmin rulers & fanatic of any faith) are enemies of mankind. Buddhists have no freedom in the Hindu society relating to Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path and the Supreme Enlightenment of the Buddha. Hindu leaders (R.R.S & Vishwa Hindu Parisad) including Mr. L.K. Advani made the Buddha as their God but there is no altar for the Buddha in Hindu temples, offices and homes. Moreover Hindu leaders confiscated Buddhist identity from the Buddhist community. No Hindu temple celebrates the Buddha Puja and Buddha Jayanti at home and abroad. But Hindu leaders demand the Buddha as their God. In hate speech cases against anti-Buddhists the context of about the activities of political minds of rulers and priests Brahmins who was started Brahmanism to absorb the Buddhism of Indus Civilization ( Miscellany on the Buddha (Buddhavamsa, History of Buddhas in Pali languages and Buddhism, Mohenjodaro and Harappa Cities by Swapan Kumar Biswas, 1999, 390 pages ). Nazi leaders like Indra (Hindu God who destroyed Buddhism in the Indus civilization) and the Sankarayacharyas and several kings and rulers took pride in demolishing the Buddhist images aiming at the total eradication of the Buddhist culture, traditions, heritages and civilization. Every Buddhist culture Hindus leaders modified into Hinduism in India. All Buddhists are Hindus in India. Are Burmese, Chinese, Japanese, American, Thai, and Tibetan Hindus of India? There are misconceptions in Hindu idea relating to Buddhism.
Hindus neither control Sikh temples nor Jain temples. History repeats misuse of religions makes a war. As the UNESCO explained, “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that defences of peace must be constructed.” There is an inquiry into causes and consequences of deprivation of Buddhists in India through the historical documents. Misuse of the religion of Brahmins, once made brutal cleansing of Buddhists in Indus civilizations (Mohenzodaro & Harappa) and Buddhist Temples were destroyed in India between 830 AD and 966 AD. Now what is happening in the secular India in a name of religion?

Buddhists and peace loving people all over the world will have been shocked upon reading the news of “Monks question ‘outsiders ‘control over Bodh Gaya temple” in the South Asian Observer of Toronto, dated August 04, 2006 where we heard the voice of the Oppressed Buddhists made Outcry who are deprived of religious right in India. Where there is humanity, there is religion. Whereas this is a very painful situation concerning the sacred Buddha Gaya of world Buddhists’ holiest religious place being controlled by a group of non-Buddhists (Hindus) whose avowed goals are detrimental to the interests of the other religion.

In spite of the fact that Buddhism is the national religion of Asian countries (Thailand, Burma, Laos, Sri Lanka, Burma, Japan, Korea, Tibet, China, Mongolia, Bhutan, ( Sikhism was took over by India) Vietnam and etc.), all other religions are given equal opportunity for their followers to practice their respective beliefs.

More importantly, all religions in Thailand and other Buddhist countries are given adequate protection against any abuse or disrespect to any reason or objects of reverence. Under the penal code, any of the following acts against any religion is punishable by law:
(1) Any act, by any means whatever, to an object or a place of reverence of any community in a manner likely to insult the religion
(2) Whoever causes any disturbance at any assembly law fully engaged in the performance of religious worship or religious ceremonies;
(3) Whoever dresses or uses a symbol showing that he is a Buddhist monk or novice, ascetic or clergymen of any religion unlawfully in order to make another person believe to at he is such person.
From the Buddhist standpoint, Hindu fundamentalists they have themselves sunk so low that we have to pity on them and to pray, with a compassionate spirit, that they understand they are doing so at their own spiritual peril, and thus stop doing so in the Mahabodhi Temple of Buddhagaya.
