| 摘要 | This research attempts to reveal the application of vipassanā meditation for social peace building. An individual vipassanā practitioner realizes the peace of mind; cultivates it and develops karuṇā (compassion) towards all suffering beings. The peaceful ones inspire others to practice vipassanā or follow the path of Dharma. Peace begins within an individual; ultimately, it spreads in wider society. Thus, vipassanā may ensure social peace building. This research fulfils the knowledge gap in the application of Vipassanā meditation. The broader application intended by Buddhawas bahujana hitāya, bahujana sukhāya. During the course of time, this broader application remained in shadow. The practice of Vipassanā limited in Monasteries, Biharas or Dharma Centers. The wider society should have easy access to the practice. As the whole society is suffering from violence and lack of peace, this research reveals how Vipassanā may help to social peace building. The society is going through turbulence from violence and individuals from kleśa (mental defilements). Vipassanā helps uproot mental defilements and thereby a restless individual regains peacefulness by realizing his own prabhāsvara citta (luminous self). A peaceful individual attains wisdom; he/she sees the potentiality of awakening, of becoming Buddha in all human beings. Being full of compassion and seeing the people suffering, he/she strives for the well-being of all: inspiresor guides people to vipassanā so that they could uproot their kleśa and attain the state of peacefulness. Gradually, peaceful individuals may proliferate and formation of a peaceful society will materialize. |
