Peace Letter to Worldwide Leaders March 18, 2022

Peace Letter to Worldwide Leaders, Especially Russia, Ukraine, United States and China  | March 18, 2022

        We, the Eternal Freedom & Peace Group (EFP) led by meditation master and founder of the Thabarwa Meditation Centers worldwide, Sayadaw Ashin Ottamathara, sincerely wish that the leaders worldwide can work not only for their own benefit and the benefit of their own people, but also for the benefit of those from other countries and the people of the whole world.

          We would like to contribute to the peace process in a way that reduces attachment to a lack of peace by using the power of collective good deeds in areas where chaos reigns.  We will help those affected by disaster and disaster-stricken countries, including Ukraine, to become truly neutral and peaceful countries by establishing Thabarwa Centers and dhamma hospitals.

       Peace can be achieved as much as we deeply understand and accept the negative effects of non-peace.

      

By learning the lessons from non-peace, we can change from non-peace to peace.

         

Relying on authority, laws and weapons is unsafe for the lives of people in the present and future. We get back the effects from our actions of past and present. All living beings  at the present are getting back what they did to others in the past as the results of their deeds. The person is getting back what he did to others in the past. Only by relying on the weapons of Dana (giving), Sila (virtue) and Bhavana (mental cultivation) can one be free from wrongdoing and the resulting misfortune, in both the present and future.

       Even if you do not commit unwholesome deeds in this life, the debt of the bad deeds done in the past must be repaid.

There’s still debt to be paid for what you’ve done in the past, even if you’re not doing bad things now. 

The person who breaks the law must pay according to the law. The person who kills someone must go to jail. So also, killing someone in the past will kill us in the present. This is the law of Karma. If we get success, long life and good health, it is because of good deeds we’ve done in the past and at the present. This is the law of Karma. We should try to use both rules and regulations and also the law of Karma.

Notes for peace letter (March 27, 11:30 pm)

The leaders of the world have the ability to take care of themselves, to work for their own life, to be well known around the whole world. So also they should use this ability for all the people of the world who know about them.
These world leaders have the ability to work for the development of their own country. So also they should use their ability for the development of the other countries of the whole world. Sayadaw wants them to have right understanding like this. They are connected not only with the people of their own country but with all the people of the world who know about them. That’s why they should think for the others, and work for the benefit of all others. Because of being a well known leader of the world, they have the ability to influence the whole world. Therefore they should use their ability not only for their own country but also the whole world. 

We will help a country in danger to be neutral and peaceful by using efp. There will be Thabarwa Centers and Dhamma Hospitals in Ukraine to do good deeds continuously together with the local people. In this way we are sure to reduce attachment to non-peace, and on the other hand we will get peace of body and mind. This is the method we will use to get success together.

From our own experience or suffering, we can learn the cause of suffering. The more we know about the cause of suffering clearly, there will be less suffering for sure. The more we experience about non-peace, the more we can learn the cause and the side effects of non-peace.

The more we understand clearly about it there will be more peace for sure. 

From experience of non-peace we can find out the cause of non-peace. In this way we can detach from the suffering of non peace. 

Suffering misfortune is caused by bad kamma done in the past. 

The person who does bad at the present is sure to suffer later from what he did, in the same way as he did. 

By relying on rank, power, laws and weapons, no one is safe from making mistakes or being in danger. By doing good deeds we can be free from mistakes and danger at the present and future. 

Ukraine is facing many problems now concerned with the war with Russia. For efp organization, we will give help for free or merits to Ukraine and similar countries for them to be neutral, peaceful countries.

Ukraine is facing many troubles because of the war. That’s why efp wants to help them be neutral and peaceful. Ukraine can’t stand on its own as neutral and peaceful country, so it needs help from a neutral, peaceful organization.
