People are innocent


What do you think about these comments regarding Japan situation after 3/11:

你對一些人關於日本311日情况后的言論有何想法:

为什么是日本?美国作为世界超强而且也是高度工业化的国家,每年排放到外的二氧化碳几乎就占了世界总量的五份之一。日本国民则从小就被灌输环保的意识,将垃圾分类再进行有系统的回收,这都对保护地球作出了贡献。

Translated comment:Why Japan? The United States has shown strength and power in the world, and is also a highly industrialized country, carbon dioxide emissions are almost one-fifth of the world’s total accounted annually. Japanese are growing to learn about environmental awareness, to conduct waste separation and recycling systems, which have contributed to the protection of the Earth.”

My thought is: ‘Why?’, here is a hard question. Who ‘really’ can answer it?

我認為: 問這樣的为什么?是一個難題。誰能給真實的答案?



"2011
311日,一个悲悸的日子。听着、看着大地震的消息,心中的难过无以比拟。
晚餐时和孩子们谈起这次的大地震,儿子竟然说:xx说这次日本会地震是活该,谁叫他们以前来打我们的国家!
这位xx同学的家人到底灌输了什么思想给他?
...
这样的思想,其实让我更加难过。。。"
Translated comment: "March 11, 2011, a sad day. “Look at the news of the earthquake, I can’t tell my sadness.
I have dinner with kids, I talk about this earthquake, and my son said his classmate said Japan probably deserved the earthquake, who told them to go to war with our country before!
What kind of thoughts does this classmate's family put into their children’s minds?
...
These kinds of negative thoughts, in fact, make me more sad. . ."

My thought is: The parent’s thinking will influence their kids. This is education too.

我認為: 父母的思想將影響孩子。這也是教學。


“This is one of the reasons why I hesitate to donate (referring to Japan’s nuclear plant secret).”

翻譯: 就是这其中的原因我不愿捐款。(因关于日本核電廠背後的秘密)

My thought is: Governments are political, but people are innocent.

I joined the Tzu Chi team here to do street fundraising this weekend.

我認為: 政府都是搞政治。我關心的是人民很無辜。

這週末我與這兒的慈濟團體去募款。



布施有三個要件,即施者、受者與施物,此稱為「三輪」。若布施之時,能了悟此三者皆悉本空,摧破執著之相,稱為「三輪體空」。

add one more sentence from the kid's mom:

"我回应孩子说:那些事情已经过去了,现在正在受苦的人们都是无辜的,不应该把错怪在他们身上。我们应该去帮助那些有需要的人,不管他们曾经做过什么,因为能够帮别人是我们的福气。

I told my kids, the japanese war had over. That was not those victims' fault, we should help those in need, regardless who they are, what they have done before... "

核电厂的祸害,或更早的侵略他国,是一小撮人的自私行为,结果殃及无数生命.我们应该理性地告诉孩子,每一个生命都有存活的权力.
