Taken from Vipassana Fellowship :


Anagarika Dharmapala
(1864 - 1933)
   

      "The Blessed One made no distinction of Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis, upasakas and upasikas. They were all to learn the Pali Dhamma and study it and proclaim it for the welfare of others. The consummation of the Brahmachariya life was not only for the Bhikkhus and the Bhikkhunis, but also for upasakas and upasikas. The door to Nibbana is open to all."
 
The purpose of the Anagarika Dharmapala Archive is to honour this Sinhalese Buddhist activist who contributed so greatly to the revival of Theravada Buddhism in the latter part of the    nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth century. His passion for maintaining the purity of the Dhamma and for ensuring its effective dissemination remains an inspiration for Buddhists of today. Anagarika Dharmapala's written legacy has not been widely available outside of Sri Lanka. This site hopes to rectify this by making his essays and speeches more widely available. It is a long term project and new material will be added as it is sourced and formatted.

War ja ein ziemlicher Nationalist (was ja auch - für jene, die sich dessen nicht bewusst sind - für die allermeisten "Mönche" nicht nur in Asien zutrifft; scheint irgendwie leichter zu sein "selbstlos" zu handeln, wenn man sich mit einer Gruppe identifiziert. Bei den meisten aktiven asiatischen Buddhismusliebhabern und Verbreitern ist es meist purer Nationalismus und Imperialismus der sie treibt) aber ich denke das diese Texte etwas besser die generellen Tendenzen der heutigen Volks-buddhistischen Strömungen und Motivationen der Missionsarbeit verstehen lassen und auf was man achten sollte, wenn sie einströmen. Viel Trauma, sehr viel Trauma...

Unsere Pflicht für die Menschen im Westen
von Anagaraika Dharmapala (1927)

Die britischen Menschen haben mit ihrer Kraft, ihrem Einsatz und Lernfähihkeit den ersten Platz auf dieser Erde erreicht. Deren Reich ist das größte von allen Reichen der Geschichte. Kanada, Australien, Neu Seeland, Südafrika, Indien, Burma, Malaysische Halbinsel, Hong Kong, Ceylon, Irak sind unter britischer Flagge. Vor hundert Jahren, unter der Schirmherrschaft der britischen Missionare der protestantischen Kirche, begann deren evangelikale Arbeit in Indien, Ceylon und später in China, Japan, Burma und anderen Plätzen. Letztes Jahr wurden Millionen Kopien von christlichen Schriften an Chinesen und Indern verteilt. Die "Foreign Bible Society" hat die Bibel in 600 verschiedenen Sprachen gedruckt. Eine Summe von £ 400,000 wurde aufgewandt um christliche Schriften von der Glaubensgemeinschaft der protestantischen Kirche zu drucken. Über 23.000 Missionare sind in Asien und Afrika im Einsatz und verstreuen diese Lehren unter den so genannten Heiden. Die Muslimen erweitern ihr Reich in Afrika und haben eine prachtvolle Moschee in Paris, und die Ahmadiya Bewegung hat eine Moschee in Southfields, einem Vorort von London, errichtet.

Die Brahmanische Religion macht keine Bekehrungen und nur jene, die als Hindu geboren werden können Anhänger der Brahmanen werden. Die anderen nicht missionierenden Religionen sind Zoroastrismus, Judentum und Jainismus. Die katholische Kirche vergrößert ihren Einfluß in Deutschland, den Vereinigten Staaten und in England. Vor der Geburt des Christentums, wanderten Buddhistische Missionare durch ganz Asien und predigten das Dharma vom Erhabenen Buddha. Vor neunhundert Jahren vergrößerte sich das buddhistische Reich über das Kaspische Meer nach Japan. Ganz Asien war buddhistisch. Seit der Gründung des Islams, wurde Buddhismus in der Zentraltürkei, Bamian, Craeco, Bactriana, Turfan, Sogdiana, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Gandahar, Panjab, Sindh, und Indien zerstört und von Arabern erobert. Wo immer Muslime hin kamen und Tempel Buddhas vorfanden, wurden diese ohne Hemmungen zerstört. Wo im Jahre 1000 n.Chr. kein einziger Muslime in Indien war, gibt es heute 70 Millionen, alle Nachkömmlinge von Buddhisten und Hindus, die im Zuge der allmählichen Invasion von Muslimischen Dynastien über gewechselt sind.
Java konvertierte 1400 zum Islam und später die Einwohner der malaysischen Halbinsel. Heute ist das Islamische Reich das am aggressivsten missionierende unter den Religionen. Christliche Missionare in Indien unternehmen keine heftigen Versuche die Muslimen zu bekehren. Die Moulvis sind aktiv und sie kennen die Schwächen des Christentums. Das buddhistische Reich hält heute eine Zahl von über 500 Millionen und Hindus, die 250 Millionen zählen akzeptieren Buddha als die Neunte Reinkarnation vom Gott Vishnu.

Es ist die Zeit gekommen, um den Menschen im Westen das sublime Dhamma zu geben. Das Christentum ist mit der modernen Wissenschaft konfrontiert und Wissenschaft ist gegen alle dogmatische Theologie. Wissenschaft ist modern, während die Dogmas des Christentums zur altertümlichen Zeit gehören. China wie auch Indien sind im Aufstreben. Die Missionare stehen nun eine Opposition in China entgegen. Einige orientalische Gelehrte sind nun Verbündete der Missionare. Beide werden für ihre Dienste bezahlt und sie wissen das, wenn Buddhismus ihr Feld betritt, sie zurückweichen müssen. In England gibt es eine aufstrebende Zahl von Freidenkern und Rationalisten und deren Aktivitäten müssen berücksichtigt werden.

Höherer Buddhismus ist pure Wissenschaft. Er hat keinen Platz für Theologie und er hat nichts mit erschaffenden Göttern und kämpfenden Herrschern zu tun. Er lehnt das Phantom einer separaten ewigen Seele, die sich irgendwo im Körper befindet, ab, er lehnt den Aberglauben einer ewigen Hölle oder eines ewigen Himmels ab, er lehnt die Idee des bestechlichen Anbetens von Göttern ab und weißt die Eingriffsmöglichkeit von Priestern zurück. Es ist die Religion absoluter Freiheit. Freiheit die man damit erreicht Böses zu unterlassen, Gutes zu tun und das Herz zu reinigen. Er ist gegen Alkoholismus, und das Töten von Tieren für Nahrung und zum Sport. Er ist eine Bruderschaft, die gesamte Menschheit umarmend, wie auch die Welt der Tiere und Götter. Er lehrt das Zusammenwirken von Mensch zu Mensch. Die ganze Menschheit ist eine Bruderschaft. Er ist der Freund des befreienden Prozesses und lehrt die erhabene Wahrheit von verdienstvollen Handlungen und zeigt den Pfad bestreut mit Blumen guter Gedanken, guter Wörter und guten Taten, rechter Einsicht, rechter Absicht, rechte Sprache, rechter Beruf, rechte Anstrengung, rechtes Gedankenaufrechterhalten und rechtes Beleuchten des Geistes. Nur mit selbstaufopfernden Handlungen kann man Glück finden. Er lehrt gegen Askese und Sinnlichkeit. Er lehrt gegen unwissenschaftlichen Monotheismus, Polytheismus, Pantheismus, Nihilismus, Er lehrt, daß die letztliche Wahrheit realisiert werden muß, und nicht durch einfaches glauben an Dogmas gewonnen wird.

Diese Religion wurde vom Prinzen von Kapilavastu gegründet, der entsagte, um die Wahrheit aller Dinge, an der die Welt fest hält, herauszufinden. Er durchlief die härtesten körperlichen Selbstkasteiungen, mit der Absicht den Pfad zum Glück mit einem perfekten Bewußtsein zu finden. Er lehnte dann Askese ab, da dieses hinderlich für das Erreichen eines klaren Bewußtseins war. Er lehnte auch Sinnesvergnügen ab, da auch diese hinderlich für die Realisierung von Weisheit waren. Er erklärte den Mittelpfad, da dieser die Menschen an das Ziel des Glückes, hier auf der Erde vor dem Tod. führt. Junge asiatische Buddhisten! Die Zeit ist für uns gekommen, uns vorzubereiten die Schlachtfelder der Wahrheit, Liebe und Dienste zu betreten und die Nachricht von Gleichheit, Brüderlichkeit, Mitgefühl, Selbstlosigkeit und Entsagung, den tatkräftigen Menschen von England, Deutschland, den Vereinigten Staaten, Frankreich und anderen Ländern zu überbringen. Die sowjetische Regierung mag buddhistischen Missionaren vielleicht den Zutritt zum großen russischen Land nicht gewähren und Duce Mussolini mag es vielleicht nicht erlauben Italien zu betreten. Spanien ist für uns auch geschlossen. Da ist Persien und die Türkei. Da sind die Republiken von Südamerika. Diese Länder sollten von der überlegenen Wahrheit, die von Erhabenen Buddha erklärt wurden, und die er vor 2.500 Jahren den weisesten Menschen von Aryan Indien lehrte, wissen. Da waren kein Jesus, Mohammed oder anderer Prophet geboren. Lasst die Leute dieser Länder die Vier Edlen Wahrheiten, den Noblen Achtfachen Pfad, die Sieben Grundlagen der Erleuchtung und die zwölf Grundlagen des Gesetzes der Bedingtheit verstehen.

Steht auf, wacht auf und verbündet euch mit der Arme der Heiligkeit und Frieden und bezwingt die Heere des Bösens.

Our Duty to the Peoples of the West
by Anagarika Dharmapala (1927)


THE British people have by their energy, enterprise, and learning won the first place on this earth. Their empire is the greatest of all historic empires in the past. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Hong Kong, Ceylon, Iraq are under the British Flag. A hundred years ago under the aegis of the British Flag missionaries of the Protestant Church began their evangelical work in India, Ceylon and later on in China, Japan, Burma and other places. Today the missionary movement has reached its zenith. Last year eleven million copies of the Christian scriptures were circulated among the Chinese, Indians, etc., The Foreign Bible Society has printed the Bible in 600 different languages. The sum of £ 400,000 was expended in printing the Christian scriptures by the Christian denominations of the Protestant Church. Over 23,000 missionaries are engaged in Asia and Africa in disseminating the Christian doctrine among the so called Heathens. The Moslems are extending their empire in Africa, and they have a splendid mosque in Paris, and the Ahmadiya movement has erected a mosque in Southfields, a suburb in London.

The Brahmanical religion makes no proselytes, and only the born Hindu can become a follower of Brahmanism. The other non proselytising religions are Zoroastrianism, Judaisrn and Jainism. The Catholic Church is extending its sway in Germany, the United States and in England. Before the birth of Christianity, Buddhist missionaries went all over Asia preaching the Dharma of the Lord Buddha. Nine hundred years ago the Buddhist empire extended from the Caspian Sea to Japan. All Asia was Buddhist. Since the establishment of Islam Buddhism in Central Turkestan, Bamian, Craeco, Bactriana, Turfan, Sogdiana, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Gandahar, Panjab, Sindh, and India was destroyed by the conquering Arabs. Wherever the Moselms went they found the temples of the Buddha and without any compunction they were all destroyed. Where there was not one Moslem in India, in the year 1000 A.C., today there are 70 millions, all descendants of Buddhist and Hindu converts during the successive invasions of Moslem dynasties.

In 1400 Java was converted to Islam, and later on the people of Malay Peninsula. Today the Islamic empire is the most aggressive of missionary religions. Christian missionaries in India do not make vigorous attempts to convert the Moslems. The Moulvis are active, and they know the weak points of Christianity. The Buddhist empire today has a population of over 500 millions, and the Hindus who number 250 millions accept the Lord Buddha as the ninth incarnation of the God Vishnu.

The time is come to give the sublime Dhamma to the people of the West. Christianity is confronted with modem Science, and Science is against all dogmatic theology. Science is modern, while the dogmas of Christianity belong to an antiquated age. China is waking up and also India. The missionaries are now meeting with opposition in China. Some oriental scholars are now in league with the missionaries. Both are paid for their services, and they know that if Buddhism enters the field the missionaries will have to recede. In England there is an increasing number of Freethinkers and Rationalists and their activities have to be taken into account.

Higher Buddhism is pure science. It has no place for theology, and it has got nothing to do with creator gods and fighting lords. It rejects the phantom of a separate soul entity residing somewhere in the body. It rejects a saviour by whose favour one can go to heaven, it rejects the superstitions of an eternal hell and an eternal heaven, it rejects the idea of prayer to bribe the god, and it repudiates the interference of Priests. It is the religion of absolute freedom, which is to be gained avoiding all evil, doing all good and purifying the heart. It is against alcoholism, and killing animals for food and sport. It is a brotherhood, embracing all humanity, and the world of animals as well as gods. It preaches the inter-relationship between man and man. Whole humanity is one brotherhood. It is the friend of enlightened progress, and preaches the sublimest Truths of meritorious activity and shows the Path strewn with the flowers of good thoughts, good words and good deeds, right insight, right aspirations, right speech, right profession, right effort, right fixity of thought and right illumination of mind. Only by self sacrificing activity happiness can be found. It preaches against asceticism and Sensualism. It preaches against unscientific monotheism, polytheism, pantheism, nihilism. Its teaching is that ultimate Truths are to be realized, not simply believed as dogmas.

This religion was founded by the Prince of Kapilavastu, who renounced to discover Truth all things that the world hold dear. He underwent the severest form of bodily mortification in order to find the path of happiness in perfect consciousness. He rejected asceticism as it was an obstacle to gain a clear consciousness. He rejected sensual pleasures as they too interfered with the realization of wisdom. He proclaimed the Middle Path as it brings man to the goal of happiness here on earth before death. Young Buddhists of Asia! The time is come for you to prepare yourself to enter the battlefield of Truth, Love and Service and carry the message of Equality, Brotherhood, Compassion, Selflessness, Renunciation to the energetic people of England, Germany, United States, France and other countries. The Soviet government perhaps may not allow Buddhist missionaries to enter the great country of Russia, and Duce Mussolini perhaps would not allow them to enter Italy. Spain is also closed to you. There is Persia and Turkey. There are the Republics of South America. These countries should know of the supreme Truths promulgated by the Lord Buddha, who taught them 2500 years ago to the most enlightened people of Aryan India. Was not born Jesus, Mohammad and other prophets. Let the People of these countries know the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the seven Principles of Enlightenment, and the 12 bases of the Law of Causality.

Arise, awake, unite and join the Army of Holiness and Peace and defeat the hosts of Evil.
