獲獎:佛教是「世界上最好的宗教」

據日內瓦論壇報報導,國際聯合宗教會票選佛教獲得全球「最佳宗教世界」獎。

總部設在瑞士日內瓦的國際聯合宗教會(ICARUS),基於提高並促進宗教和靈性的融合與交流,

今年七月投票決議結果,賦予佛教團體最高榮耀獎,一致表決佛教是「世界上最好的宗教」。

這個獎項是由二百位宗教領袖共同參與國際圓桌會議,投票決定。

會中值得一提的是,很多宗教領袖並沒有選擇自己的宗教,而是把自己手中神聖一票投給佛教。

雖然佛教徒只佔ICARUS會員的極少數,但得票數與呼聲卻最高。

國際聯合宗教會的研究主管伊卡羅斯認為:佛教能贏得世界最好宗教榮耀,是因為在過去歷史中,

沒有一場戰爭是以佛教名義而戰,與其他宗教明顯不同。

他認為佛教徒真正實踐所宣導的宗教精神,而這也是佛教比其他宗教做得更徹底的地方。

Belfast天主教神父泰德(Ted O'Shaughnessy)表示:他也投佛教一票,他雖崇愛天主教,

但內心常深感不安,因為在宣導基督愛的同時,往往在聖經裡發現:為上帝而殺害異教徒的經文。

穆斯林的神職人員塔爾阿斌·魏塞德(Tal Wassad)說:「雖然我是虔誠的穆斯林,但看到很多

個人的忿怒和嗔恨,藉用殺戮方式表達他們對宗教的崇敬,而不是自我調解的途徑。」

另猶太教拉比羅賓·山謬·華聖斯坦(Rabbi Shmuel Wasserstein)說:「我愛猶太教,這是世界上

最大的宗教,但自一九九三年以來,我每天都在練習內觀禪修,並將作為修持功課之一。」

「佛教徒備受肯定」,身為巴基斯坦的穆斯林社團,也是國際聯合宗教會投票權的委員之一的魏塞德

(Wassad)說:「事實上,我最好朋友當中,有不少人是佛教徒。」

國際聯合宗教會目前尚未找到願意受獎團體,當被問及為什麼佛教界拒絕接受獎項時,

緬甸翰達比丘(Bhante Ghurata Hanta)表示:「我們感謝佛教被肯定,但此獎是屬於全人類,

因每人皆有佛性。」委員會之一的葛力奇(Groehlichen)說:他們將會繼續尋找下去,

直到找到一個佛教團體願意接受它。當找到時,一定會告訴大家。

互聯網是很好的工具. 也可以是很垃圾的工具.

今日的人兄人姐再不會查核網上獲得的資訊是否屬實便左轉貼, 右轉貼
(只要標題岩用便成).

(1)
文中的 ICARUS 是甚麼組織?
咁國際性的組織呀, 但怎會連一個官方網站都無的?


(2)
我耳揹, 我未聽過有這個宗教組織.
組織成立的宗旨是甚麼?
任務是甚麼?
經費來源怎樣?
天主教, 基督教(各教會分派), 回教各派別, 佛宗各派別的代表是誰?)
望多眼便知是不合邏輯的廢料


(3)
評選只有結果, 而無評選方法和標準公佈的......是甚麼的選舉?

(4)
文中的緬甸翰達比丘(Bhante Ghurata Hanta)
跟本無此人, 姓名也不是地道的緬甸人姓氐.

(5)
『日內瓦論壇報』是一份地區法文報章.
該報從未發表過這個報導.
法文雖仍是瑞士四個官方語文之一,
瑞士百份之六十五人口是說德文的.

(6)
這個獎項是由二百位宗教領袖共同參與國際圓桌會議,投票決定。
二百位宗教領袖共同參與國際圓桌會議當是國際盛事,同世博有得揮.
是在何年何月何日何地舉行過呢?
點解咁大件事, 各地報章都無導過先?

(7)
Belfast天主教神父泰德(Ted O'Shaughnessy)表示:他也投佛教一票
一個地區的神父, 何德何能可以代表梵帝崗, 代表全球11億天主教徒投下這代表全球天主教徒的一票!??
(用下你個腦哩)

一個比發現方舟遺址更(禮, 義, 廉..)的謬論.
不過....最慘, 可悲的還是一批不問就信, 還幫手左推右轉載, 轉貼, 代貼的盲從!
(這篇文給人復製到通網都有了! 用來反基)
愚人給人牽著走.

我係基基, 不過你唔好以為我就係反智, 唔好以為好易就呃到我!

見閣下這馬虎, 不求實的態度
你在其它帖講既野, 仲有幾多成是可信的??

Buddhism Wins Best Religion in the World Award


Wednesday July 15, 2009 Linda Moulin |15.07.2009 | 16:55 Tribune de Geneve In advance of their annual Leading Figureaward to a religious figure who has done the most to advance the cause of humanism and peace, the Geneva-based International Coalition for the Advancement of Religious and Spirituality (ICARUS) has chosen to bestow aspecial award this year on the Buddhist Community.

We typically prefer an under-the-radar approach for the organization, as we try to embody the spirit of modesty found in the greatest traditions,” said ICARUS director Hans Groehlichen in a phone conference Monday. “But with organized religion increasingly used as a tool to separate and inflame rather than bring together, we felt we had to take the unusual stepof creating a “Best Religion in the World” award and making a bit of a stir, toinspire other religious leaders to see what is possible when you practice compassion.

Groehlichen said the award was voted on by an international round table of more than 200 religious leaders from every part of the spiritual spectrum.
”It was interesting to note that once we supplied the criteria, many religious leaders voted for Buddhism rather than their own religion,” said Groehlichen.”Buddhists actually make up atiny minority of our membership, so it was fascinating but quite exciting that they won.”

Criteria included factors such as promotingpersonal and community peace, increasing compassion and a sense of connection,and encouraging preservation of the natural environment. Groehlichen continued“The biggest factor for us is that ICARUS was founded by spiritual and religious people to bring the concepts of non-violence to prominence insociety.
One of the key questions in ourvoting process was which religion actually practices non-violence.”When presenting the information to the voting members, ICARUS researched each of the 38 religions on the ballot extensively, offering background, philosophy, andthe religions role in government and warfare.

Jonna Hult, Director of Research for ICARUS said “It wasn’t a surprise to me that Buddhism won Best Religion in the World, because we could find literally not one single instance of a war fought in thename of Buddhism, in contrast to every other religion that seems to keep a gunin the closet just in case God makes a mistake.
We were hard pressed to even find a Buddhist that had ever been in anarmy. These people practice what they preach to an extent we simply could notdocument with any other spiritual tradition.”At least one Catholic priest spokeout on behalf of Buddhism.
Father Ted O’Shaughnessy said from Belfast, “As much as I love the Catholic Church, it hasalways bothered me to no end that we preach love in our scripture yet then claim to know God’s will when it comes to killing other humans. For that reason, I did have to cast my vote for the Buddhists.”

And Muslim Cleric Tal Bin Wassad agreed from Pakistanvia his translator. “While I am a devout Muslim, I can see how much anger and bloodshed is channeled into religious expression rather than dealt with on apersonal level. The Buddhists have that figured out.” Bin Wassad, the ICARUS voting member for Pakistan’s Muslim community continued, “In fact, some of my best friends are Buddhist.”

And Rabbi Shmuel Wasserstein said from Jerusalem, “Of course, Ilove Judaism, and I think it’s the greatest religion in the world. But to behonest, I’ve been practicing Vipassana meditation every day before minyan(daily Jewish prayer) since 1993.
So Iget it.”

Groehlichen said that the plan was for theaward to Buddhism for “Best Religion in the World” to be given to leaders fromthe various lineages in the Buddhist community. However, there was one snag.“Basically we can’t find anyone to give it to,” said Groehlichen in a follow up call late Tuesday. “All the Buddhists we call keep saying they don’t want the award.”

Groehlichen explained the strange behavior, saying “Basically they are all saying they are a philosophical tradition, not areligion. But that doesn’t change the fact that with this award we acknowledge their philosophy of personal responsibility and personal transformation to be the best in the world and the most important for the challenges facing every individual and all living beings in the coming centuries.

When asked why the Burmese Buddhist community refused the award, Buddhist monk Bhante Ghurata Hanta said from Burma, “We are grateful for the acknowledgement, but we give this award to all humanity, for Buddha nature lies within each of us.”
Groehlichen went onto say “We’re going to keep calling around until we find a Buddhist who will accept it. We’ll let you know when we do.”

感謝淚兒版友的分享。

由於佛教界謙遜地拒絕接受獎項,更顯高尚情操,但大會就因此而沒有頒獎了。亦因此有關此獎的資料就沒有再推廣,這是可以理解的。

But why not 改為「最多教徒被雞姦獎」,再行投票呢?梵帝岡絕不會不接受獎項呀!這就更有意義啦!
拼棄了天主
寶物當垃圾, 執到件垃圾當寶, 仲話四圍同人分享
我真係好唔明白, 點解有咁多人, 讀完耶經, 唔用腦思考過濾就照單全收其內容.
到理屈辭窮時, 反指對方"不合邏輯", 而忽略耶經本身其實就最無邏輯,
又笑人不問就信, 簡直係 [一百步笑五十步] ---程度甚於 [五十步笑一百步]!
我以為你能就佛教被選為最好的宗教一文作點回應, 反駁添
(真失望)

我指出這篇文本就是一項哄騙, 無樣真
咁我點樣『理屈辭窮』先?
我係咁依都指出了七點不合理的地方, 好似.........

你一點都反駁不到哩


嗯.....你應該都係路人甲一名
我實在不需要回你

我看文章很可能是假的
BEEBEECHAN 1、3、7理論合理
BEEBEECHAN  POST 4中突顯了一些宗教之小器,「互相投票」之說突顯故事的不合理

當然,和方舟不同,這也有可能是真的。但舉證責任應在提出的的……

---------------
此外,佛教、道教和基督新教也不奉行天主教式的中央集權制,當初是如何找這些教的代表?
回復 2# beebeechan
還是那句,對事不對人:
(1)International Coalition for the Advancement of Religious and Spirituality (ICARUS)的確是值得商榷的組織
(2)同上
(3)同意
(4)你反而攪錯了:緬甸翰達比丘(Bhante Ghurata Hanta)即是緬甸Bhante翰達比丘Ghurata Hanta ,不一定是緬甸人
(5)這是一則來自國外訊息,瑞士日內瓦當地報紙"Tribune de Geneve"2009年7月15日報導,佛教獲頒世界最佳宗教獎,原文似乎是用法文撰寫,但是英文版則廣為流傳。
位於日內瓦的"國際宗教與心靈促進聯盟"(ICARUS)將"世界最佳宗教"獎項頒贈給一個佛教社區(譯案:可能指某一僧團或社團)。
(6)中文原文是【人間社記者滿容日內瓦報導】,人間社是佛教組織
(7)同意

喂, 我無話你喎!
唔該你睇清楚, 我係問----"好唔明白, 點解有咁多人, 讀完耶經, 唔用腦思考過濾就照單全收其內容..."
  
你要對號入座, 自認理屈辭窮, 大家都幫不了你!

傲兄, 可否解答小弟#5 的問題:-
"點解有咁多人, 讀完耶經, 唔用腦思考過濾就照單全收其內容?"
我都想問傲兄
"點解有 咁多人, 未讀過耶經, 就全部都否定其內容既?"
回復 1# 淚兒


總覺得這篇有可能是語出Onion (木亥火暴)
我聽過這個說法

「點解有 咁多人, 未食完成舊屎,就全部都否定其內容既?」
我不嬲都係主張
先了解某事情才去評論某事情
所以無論你是撐耶還是反耶,也應該自己先看一遍聖經
有望樓主: 淚兒
自己出黎解畫

一請
