Why Can’t We Be Friends? by….Satyagraha
I’m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?
Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose — and you allow him to make war at pleasure. If today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, ‘I see no probability of the British invading us’ but he will say to you, ‘Be silent; I see it, if you don’t.’”

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”

When you have stopped the deluded activity of consciousness, then, whatever situation you may find yourself in, you enjoy perfect freedom, in adversity and prosperity, in taking and giving. Not tell me, how in fact will this sort of person behave?
A monk asked Ummon, “What is the teaching of the Buddah’s lifetime?”
Ummon said, “Preaching facing oneness.”
Zen masters deliver their sermons facing the image of the Buddha. However, the meaning of this koan is broader: oneness is absolute truth. To face oneness means to face every thing—-yourself, the world, every being, and every thing—-in its absolute truth.
