Faith in revolution
To believe in both oneself and others, and to treat others as one would a Buddha - this is the practice that awakens and calls forth the Buddha-nature that resides within us all. It is precisely because we are able to muster faith in the Buddha-nature of the other person that we can bring forth compassion from within ourselves and, desiring happiness for all, continue an earnest and respect-filled process of dialogue.

The fatal flaws of this ideology fueled the reckless risk-taking, greed and arrogance that led to Wall Street’s downfall.

Is human aggression irredeemable?
To return to the ‘innate aggression’ theory of human behaviour: what it (and the media) ignores are the million daily acts of compassion and loving kindness between human beings – from parents to children, from young to older people, from neighbours and from strangers. These pass unrecorded. Perhaps the reason they pass unrecorded is that kindness in our society is somehow less sexy than aggression.

Change in Nepal - Starting trouble for Maoists
Nepal needs both democratic stability and peace. Thwarting the Maoists’ prerogative to lead a government would endanger stability. Letting the Maoists run away with a government without meeting the democratic pre-requisite of doing away with their extra-parliamentary props would put peace, and pluralism, at risk.
Shastri Ramachandaran, Tribune of India, April 24, 2008
Reprocessing democracy
India, Nepal have to re-envision relationship
The Maoists winning the democratic right to lead Nepal is more than an electoral event. It is a development of enormous significance for not only the people of Nepal but also the rest of the world, particularly India and South Asia. The Maoists put democracy on trial and they, in turn, were tested by the democratic process. Both the Maoists and democracy have won resoundingly. This is as much a paradigm shift for democracy as for the Maoists.

The US-NATO Preemptive Nuclear Doctrine: Trigger a Middle East Nuclear Holocaust to Defend "The Western Way of Life"
With a few exceptions, there's a scientific and intellectual vacuum: No research, no analysis, no comprehension of the meaning of a nuclear holocaust which in a real sense threatens the future of humanity.
There is a tacit acceptance of a diabolical and criminal military agenda. The US-NATO doctrine to use nukes on a preemptive basis with a view to "saving the Western World's way of life" is not challenged in any meaningful way either by academics or media experts in strategic studies.

The Wolfowitz scandal is a smokescreen. The real reasons of
Wolfowitz's demise are political. What this dismissal suggests
is that lead Neo-Conservatives, despite their apparent political
clout are often vulnerable and defenseless. They do not constitute
the ultimate source of political power. Acting on behalf of
the dominant corporate and financial elites, they are instruments
or proxies, which can readily be replaced.

versus liberalism
The
biggest challenge that mankind faces today is to prevent the
views of the 'men of zeal' to predominate. What the world is
facing is not a clash of civilisations, but a clash between
a liberal and pluralistic view of the world, and one based on
religious and political dogmatism and fundamentalism.

Dag
Hammarskjöld's commitment to dialogue
I believe there is much we can learn from the life and example
of Dag Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary-General of the
organization. His achievements shine in the annals of UN history,
and his moral force and integrity as the "conscience of
the United Nations" command wide respect to this day.
