Lately,
Englishman Mark Boyle thought that he could walk from Britain to India
without having a penny on him, only relying on men's bounty. He got
only as far as Calais, France, from which he had to return to England.
He stated, "I was pretty much out of food, hadn't slept for days and
was really cold. I had to reasses the whole plan."
Is there any connection between Mark Boyle and
the Dalai
Lama then, apart from the fact that India where the Dalai Lama lives as
a
refugee was Mark Boyle's aim and they both belong to the human race?
There is a connection. Buddhist
bikkhus or bhikshus can live on charity throughout their lives, but a
Westerner cannot do
more than thirty Miles and not be left starving and freezing to death
by his own kind. This story bluntly shows the
conflicting perspectives of
spiritual humanity and materialistic humanity.
Billions of believers have been poised between the two humanities and
in
anguish still
unable to decide on either. It
will take more than four generation to decide (Rev of Arès 24/2),
but The Revelation of Arès makes us more aware of
the right decision. Man has to regain spiritual life.
I
can just imagine my fellow-countrymen saying : "Yes, but be
carefull...Be careful!.. What did Mark
Boyle try to do? Just make the most of men's stupidity so that he could
take a trip for free, while the Dalai Lama is the natural head of Tibet
who was forced to flee by the Chinese, followed by his monks, who have
been pursuing very high
ideals."
Very
good! By the way, what about Mark Boyle's ideals? Did anybody ask him
about them in Calais? I have my doubts. As there is an English look
about him (just see the picture), he has no right to ideals other than
the ideals of Descarte (or of Francis Bacon) and of public
subsidies. No right to the charity copper coin (Rev
of Arès 34/4) given to the unexpected one, the man
of the time to come (30/13).
If only he was a bum, his cap glued by 2-year grime on his mop of hair,
his breath winy, but no, he wasn't! Mark Boyle had new clean clothes
and gears on, his head was well-shaved, he had a nice face approved by
the Department of Health (see the picture again). But the Dalai Lama
also has a well-shaved head, clean clothes... Come on, come on! Let's
not complicate things! The categories have been set. Mark Boyle has no
right to anything, particularly no right to have non-homologated ideas.
Without the slightest hesitation I say, I like the Dalai Lama
very much. He could be a good Arès Pilgrim and I could be a good
Buddhist, if it weren't for the reincarnation point—but the point will
be solved by the spiritual intelligence (Rev of Arès
32/5)
once man retrieves it—. In any case, there are in the Buddhist ideals
and the Aresian ideals a lot of concepts in common, notably the
concept, which is essential, that "doing" is more significant than
"believing", and that kindness, forgiveness, peace, freedom, are the
beacons on the route to Good. Jesus and Buddha have more values in
common than differences, even though the former used to mention God and
the latter did not or, at least, did not mention him in the same way.
Their differences were particularly due to their cultural environments,
a Jewish one for Jesus, a Brahmanic one for Buddha. Which just shows
that culture hampers evolution, is definitely an obstacle on the road
to Truth.
I like Mark Boyle just as much, although he is probably not an Arès Pilgrim, because his
surge of freedom and the faith he put in men, even frustrated in
Calais, France, are close to ours, unquestionably.
The idols of the mind (Rev of Arès 23/8)
have been striving to divide and blind all of men that set new targets for themselves, but we are perfectly
conscious which people are our kind in the global expectation that the world will be changing (Rev of Arès 28/7).
