Déclarons la paix!: pour un progrès de l'esprit
Le bonheur ne doit pas être vécu comme une aspiration égoïste, mais comme une aspiration contagieuse. Deux sages à l’unisson pour une nouvelle déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme.Que manque-t-il à la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme adoptée en décembre 1948, à Paris, au Palais de Chaillot? L’homme occidental y est trop au centre. Plus clairement dit, c’est la dépendance du concept des droits de l’homme aux plus riches et aux plus forts. C’est bien le triomphe des egos au détriment des sujets. Il faut repenser ce concept et cette pratique des droits de l’homme au regard de la réalité historique, dramatique à laquelle l’humanité est désormais confrontée. Ainsi, est-il urgent de mettre en avant l’interdépendance qui unit non seulement la communauté humaine mondiale, mais toute la communauté des vivants, de ses écosystèmes. Urgent d’élever la non-violence à une pratique politique efficace, respectueuse de l’unité des consciences.Ce dialogue entre le dalaï-lama et Stéphane Hessel, initié par les Éditions Indigène, s’est tenu à Prague les 9 et 10 décembre 2011. De l’aveu même de Stéphane Hessel, ce texte tranche sur tous les autres parce qu’il s’y adresse pour la première fois à l’esprit. Inversement, ce qui frappe dans les interventions du dalaï-lama, c’est son souci de rendre compte d’une « éthique séculière », seule en capacité d’être universelle et sur laquelle ces représentants des deux pans du monde, l’Est et l’Ouest, convergent parfaitement.

About the author
Dalai Lama XIV
1,555 books6,237 followersJetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub), the 14th Dalai Lama, is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the world's most famous Buddhist monk, and the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India.
Tenzin Gyatso was the fifth of sixteen children born to a farming family. He was proclaimed the tulku (an Enlightened lama who has consciously decided to take rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two.
On 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's ruler. Thus he became Tibet's most important political ruler just one month after the People's Republic of China's invasion of Tibet on 7 October 1950. In 1954, he went to Beijing to attempt peace talks with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC. These talks ultimately failed.
After a failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama left for India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.
Tenzin Gyatso is a charismatic figure and noted public speaker. This Dalai Lama is the first to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.

Lovely read capturing a conversation full of wisdom between two great minds of our time: concentration camp survivor Stephane Hessel who contributed to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and later dedicated his life to human rights activism, and the 14th Dalai Lama, both Nobel Peace Prize.
They discuss the need for a greater level of consciousness, the failure of our governments between short term financial obligations and corruption, the failure of the UN due to abusive veto rights, but they also pave the way for what a solution could look like, calling on individual responsibility in forming a collective nonviolent movement and other reasons to remain hopeful 🫶

Construită după un dialog ce a avut loc la Praga între 9-10 decembrie 2011, inițiat de editura Indigène, cartea propune un soi de etică seculară amestecată cu teloranța față de religii. O premisă promițătoare din care nu rămîne mare lucru din moment ce argumentele sunt în favoarea tolerării religiei în scopul unei ”democrații spirituale” (Hessel) fie al consultării unei ”hărți ale spiritului” necesară, spune Dalai-Lama, din cauza nevoii omului de supranatural. Liderul spiritual tibetan folosește și cercetări vestice ce ar susține această nevoie. Pe alocuri e amuzant de observat cum un tip rațional precum Hessel o să încerce să rămână rațional într-un dialog cu o persoană religioasă, deși, de regulă, Dalai-Lama se mulează pe liniile trasate de Hessel.
Dacă unele aspecte problematice ale lumii de azi sunt identificate cu precizie, soluțiile se învârt în jurul compasiunii și înțelegerii reciproce și rămân cam vagi.
O carte care consumă puțină vreme pentru citit, dar care rămâne tot atât în memorie.

Hessel: Svet se ne spreminja tako zlahka, kot bi si želeli, a vendar se spreminja. Vaše sporočilo je sporočilo zaupanja in poguma. Tudi sam, z omejenimi sredstvi, ki jih imam na voljo, skušam to izraziti, ko se srečujem z mladimi. Pravim jim: položaj ni dober, a verjemite, zaupajte in pokažite, da ste pogumni. Tako se bodo stvari spremenile, postopoma ali nenadoma. Pod pogojem, da ne boste delovali sami, temveč skupaj z drugimi.

Dalajlama: Če so okoliščine takšne, da smo prisiljeni v ostrejše ukrepanje, če ni nobene druge izbire, so ta dejanja, čeravno se zdijo nasilna, po svoji naravi v bistvu nenasilna. To je teoretično mogoče. Vendar pa v praksi to ni preprosto. Edina možna razmejitev med nasiljem in nenasiljem je motivacija.

Crossman, Barou: Francoski pisatelj Albert Camus, ki je leta 1957 prejel Nobelovo nagrado za književnost, je izjavil: »Preučeval sem teorijo nenasilja in nisem daleč od sklepa, da je to resnica, ki si zasluži, da bi jo razširjali z lastnim zgledom. Vendar je za to potrebna veličina, ki je jaz nimam.«12

Shakespearov Sonet 116 v slovenskem prevodu Janeza Menarta:
Poroka zvestih duš, glej, ne pozna zadržkov!
Ne, ljubezen ni ljubezen,
če varanje jo v varanje peha
in izogibanje v omik oprezen!
O, ne, ljubezen je svetilnik žarki,
ki neomajno na viharje zre,
je zvezda v témi tavajoči barki,
ki kaže smer, čeprav globine ne.
Ljubezen Času ni pavliha bedni,
čeprav ji srp cvet ust in lic dohaja;
o, ne spreminja z dnevi se in tedni,
temveč do konca dni, do groba traja.
Če to ni res,
če jo bom kdaj pogúbil,
jaz nisem pesnil in nihče ni ljubil.
