| 摘要 | Peace has been the most crucial issue of every human being and every society. Happiness for an individual and for the progress of society depends on maintaining peace and tranquility. Every individual loves peace. Everyone wants to live in a peaceful society. This article attempts to reveal the surest way from inner peace to world peace. At the same time, this research finds the links how the application of vipassanā meditation is a proven technique for attaining inner peace thereby achieving world peace. Gautama the Buddha discovered this technique of meditation, which helped him for the ultimate awakening. In most of his teachings, Buddha has emphasized that the practice of vipassanā will uproot mental defilements, which are, according to Buddha, the causes of suffering. Once a person overcomes suffering, he realizes inner peace. Inner peace reflects outward, which helps to inspire peace and harmony in outer world. Thus, world peace can be achieved through inner peace. This research study presents the details of this postulation. The concept of peace differs among scholars. Some define peace as absence of violence. Others argue about this as a limited vision. According to them peace is something indivisible. Peril anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere. In a wider understanding, peace is the nature of every sentient being. Being peaceful is abstaining from any type of violence such as physical, emotional, mental and so on. If a person attains a state of peace, he or she could be an inspiration to all. The people who are unable to realize peace inside are suffering from mental defilements. This research talks about how mental defilements can be uprooted, how a person finds the peace of mind and how inner peace reflects outer peace. |
