i wonder in times of war or grave political turmoil that affects
the destiny of the peoples or a nation...what could be the
experience and realization?
one could meditate in peace, shutting off all sensory
perceptions - ignoring the screams, bullets of the nights,
blood-smelled air ...what could be the state of mind of an
enlightened being vs massacres in such a night?
could someone detached go into temporal attachments to play
one's part to stop blood with one's blood in such times? and when
victory reigns, and bloodshed ceased, then go back to longer
detachments in times of peace?
To help the nation you don't necessarily have to go into
politics. But each person have their own calling.
Buddhism isn't just about 'meditate in peace' since most of us
have our own work.
