The Geneva-based International Coalition for the Advancement ofReligious and Spirituality (ICARUS) has bestowed
"The Best Religion Inthe World" award this year on the Buddhist Community. This special award was voted on by an international round table of more than 200religious leaders from every part of the spiritual spectrum. It wasfascinating to notethat many religious leaders voted for Buddhism rather than their own religion although Buddhists actually make up a tiny minority of ICARUSmembership. Here are the comments by four voting members: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 couldfind literally not one single instance of a war fought in the name ofBuddhism, 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 an army. These peoplepractice what they preach to an extent we simply could not document with any other spiritual tradition."

A Catholic Priest, Father Ted O'Shaughnessy said from Belfast ,

"As much as I love the Catholic Church, it has always bothered me to noend that we preach love in our scripture yet then claim to know God'swill when it comes to killing other humans. For that reason, I didhave to cast my vote for the Buddhists."

A Muslim Cleric Tal Bin Wassad agreed from Pakistan via histranslator.

"While I am a devout Muslim, I can seehow much anger andbloodshed is channeled into religious expression rather than dealtwith on a personal level. The Buddhists have that figured out."

Bin Wassad, the ICARUS voting member for Pakistan 's Muslim communitycontinued,

"In fact, some of my best friends are Buddhist."And Rabbi Shmuel Wasserstein said from Jerusalem, "

Of course, I love Judaism, and I think it's the greatest religion in the world. But tobe honest, I've been practicing Vipassana meditation every day beforeminyan (daily Jewish prayer) since 1993. So I get it.
" However, there was one snag - ICARUS couldn't find anyone to give the award to. All the Buddhists they called kept saying they didn't wantthe award.When asked why the Burmese Buddhist community refused the award,Buddhist monk Bhante Ghurata Hanta said from Burma, "We are grateful for the acknowledgment, but we givethis award to all humanity, forBuddha nature lies within each of us."

Groehlichen went on to 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." Fwd mail ပါ.။ မူရင္းေရးသားသူ မသိပါ.။
