PRINCIPLE IN EQUALITY
Those who speak of equality
speak from their own convenient
standpoint. In . discrimination is
equality: in equality is discrimi­
nation. Even such high philosophy
as this has been greatly twisted
around. In practical life is the
problem of discrimination solved
by conceiving all 'things equal ? Or
is the principle of equality taught
all
from a standpoint confirmin
things basically unequal. There Is
no one with the fullest grasp of
this idea to distinguish the two,
but undoubtedly, the next era re­
quires a firm grasp of the concept
of equality.
In Buddhism, man and Buddha
are equal. Why? This idea can be
clearly comprehended if the Bud­
dha’s ultimate end and aim is
studied. The object of the Buddha
lies in their practising the“Patli
of Truth” with men.
The final
purpose of the Buddha is to ele­
vate mankind to the same lofty
heights, attained by the Buddha
himself. Therefore, at the moment
the promise of the Buddha is ful­
filled, man rises to the same level
and here all difference and discri­
ruination disappear. Man himself
has attained Buddhahood.

are expounding it. The external
world and the personality of the"
individual is a manifestation of
and is his own

responsibility. For example, .heredity is thought of as an external
factor, but the fact that one has
received the hereditary traits is
one’s own responsibility. Let u»
say there is robbery. It can be
reasoned that the person v“no was
robbed also contributed factors to
the robbery in that he possessed
the quantity of valuables. Since all
circumstances surrounding the in­
dividual are his own responsibility,
be

thrust upon another. There is no
way out except to find a means to­
wards bettering oneself.
The value of the idea of Bud­
dhist inter-relationship lies in the
fact that the responsibility of the
individual and that of the whole
is viewed as a common responsibility.

The above stated ideas will assume an important place in post
war Buddhism.
