Dhamma - The World Saviour ❖ ธรรมะคุ้มครองโลก

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN RELIGIONS Series No. 6

All of you who are interested in the Dhamma :

Our discourse today deals with the subject which you all know, which is: Dhamma — The World Saviour. Now we must realize that we have made the supposition that Dhamma is the world saviour. Therefore, by logic, it must be tenable that the world has to have Dhamma, so that Dhamma may protect or save the world. And what makes it possible for Dhamma to exist in the world?. It’s nothing other than people who live therein. Thus, it may be said that people must help Dhamma to exist in the world before Dhamma can save the world. We must start by discussing what is Dhamma. When people understand what Dhamma is, then they’ll be able to make it possible for Dhamma to exist on this earth. If people do not know what Dhamma means, they will not be able to do so. We must, first of all, try to know what Dhamma is, and I wish to ask you to pay attention to this matter even more so than to anything else.

When we set up the question as to what is Dhamma, we must, to begin with, take up the word in its literal sense, then we may analyze its meaning later.
