Foreword This booklet is reprinted as I consider that the opinion of, “The Last Hope of Mankind” of the World Peace Envoy, Dr.Suchart Kosolkitiwong written about 20 years ago, printed in Thai and in English distributed worldwide at the moment, is an appropriate opinion to use to solve the present world situation. Now the World Peace Envoy is ordained as a Buddhist monk named Ariyawanso Bhikkhu. I, in the position of the Secretary General of the Office of the World Peace Envoy, reprinted it, to propagate the opinion to world leaders, leaders of religions and all religionists on how to reach the principles of their religions and practice according to their religious principles . Every religion has teaching about their principles. If religionists live according to them, they will live together peacefully , helping one another. If everyone acts according to the real principles of religions, the world will not be in a disastrous state. Humanity will certainly live in happiness and peace.

With best wishes to humankind,

Announcement Office of the World Peace Envoy To world leaders, religious leaders and all humans: Every religionist should attain religious principles: no religion teaches people to make war , no religion teaches them to slaughter one another, every religion teaches people to act according to the five precepts, to have loving kindness towards one another. Those who study the scriptures should know that the Koran, the Old and New Testament, Buddhist Scriptures, all forecast that there will be a doomsday by the great floods and this kind of situation might cause the third world war. Now, God is punishing the world, May all of you be of one mind, joining to pray. Buddhists gathering together to pray, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and also other religions of the world to do the same, join in prayer about the event of floods or the third world war that might happen, pray for the floods not to inundate or world war III not to break out. Nevertheless, floods are better than war or fire. “ If the

third world war breaks out, no human will be left. For with floods there are some left. Pray for the least situation to happen. This announcement announces to leaders and all humans that all humans must be born, become old, sick and die. Do you want to die hot or cold ? You may send your wish to the Office of the World Peace Envoy, for me will gather the wishes to send to God. You all who are world creatures, you needn’t dare to organize a human social system. God is coming to do it. With best wishes to humanity, The Office of the World Peace Envoy 19th September 2001 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PREFACE In the present world full of conflicts and without peace, all countries, big and small have tried their best to build their massive military power, partly for the protection of their sovereignty, and partly for the condition of their economic advantage by which they use to search for the foreign markets for their products to increase their national income and wealth. In the meantime, they steadily enlarge their military influence to gain recognition from the world public for other benefits to satisfy their selfinterested nature.

In their search for world recognition, most countries nowadays have sought to one similar policy by building up their fighting forces through the stockpile of armaments and the development of military power with huge monetary budget. The weapons which they produce or posses by any possible means are most destructive that mankind could ever conceive in the history of self-annihilation of human beings by the easiest method of button pressing. Their enormous power of destruction will cause unforeseen adverse ecological damages: demineralization of soils, cataclysmic climatic changes and massive deforestation. It is believe that the catastrophe of nuclear war will cause a big change in the world. Some countries will submerge into the ocean. Almost all human beings will be wiped out. Those still alive will be fighting with incurable disease until their death. There will be a nuclear winter, cataclysmic climate changes, decrease of agricultural productivity, and loss of life of all living creatures. The atmospheric pollution will be so thick, through which the sunlight cannot penetrate. The importance of all is that human beings will lose their morale and mind together with the disappearance of their civilization. Now, we have to choose whether we want war or peace. If peace is our choice. How can peace be created? And how can peace be preserved eternally? I have found the answer to the question. It is encouraging that more and more people are now interested in and give

support to the project for world peace which I am working on. I am proud to present my proposal for world eternal peace as found in this booklet for the survival of mankind. I will be delighted to receive full cooperation from peace promoters including you so that we can realize the world eternal peace in our age and can preserve this beautiful planet of earth eternally for the whole of mankind. For World Eternal Peace, Suchart Kosolkitiwong World Constitution and Parliament Association, President, International Federation of Religions associated with United Nations Bangkok June 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PEACE CONCEPT OF WORLD PEACE ENVOY EVER PROPOSED TO MANKIND

AT VARIOUS PLACES HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR WORLD PEACEFUL First of all, we have to find out what is the most important resource of the world. Human beings are the citizens of the world. And so they are the most precious resource of the world. In each country, if there are no citizens, there will be no government. The government can exist because there are people for it to govern. So, the people of the world should be united to press their resolution to those few world leaders. Most of the people of the world do not want any war. The persons who detonate the wars are those few leaders of powerful countries and a hundred more of leaders of other nations. A NEW PATH TO WORLD PEACE AS BEINGS WATCHED CLOSELY BY ALL SIDES. In the past, both World War I and World War II were exploded by a few world leaders whose minds were defiled with wrath and delusion. When we allowed the politicians to solve the world problems, there occurred Communism and Democracy. When we let the economists do the work, they created the Haves and the Have-nots. The most effective way to make those few leaders get rid of their defilements of anger and delusion is to clean their minds Dharma: the tranquil power of religions, so that they will not be under the influence of anger and delusion defilements. This is the prevention of way by religious power.

RELIGIOUS POWER: THE LAST HOPE TO PREVENT WORLD WAR. The situation of the world today is so critical that it needs the presence of religious leaders to assist. All religions never teach their followers to make war and fight each other. But wars occurs because men fail to have true religious belief and do not realize the fact of nature and the truth of human life. If the leaders of all religions can really perceive the truth of their scriptures, get closer to God of their faith, bring virtue of God and goodness of the scriptures to spread out and try to change the ideas of men who are blinded by greedy and illusive defilements to become less in their mind, then true peace can be achieved. It is, therefore, the duty of religious leaders to really work together by which peace can be won and the world leaders can change their attitude to store up Dharma instead of weapons. Real peace of the world, if there ever be, must be by the power of religions. Religious power is a tranquil power. It is a peaceful power. If the power of all religions can be united to work in unison for the solutions of the world, their power will be more powerful than any other in the world. So, it is the last way to prevent the world war effectively. Therefore, it is the right time for the religionists to step out and help solve the world problems. They must be the real religionists, not the fraudulent ones. The real religionists

are not attached to anything. Neither do they work for fame, nor for offerings. They work only for happiness of mankind. EVERYONE WANTS PEACE. All human beings, they wish for peace, but act on the opposite. This is because they are under the influence of wrong concept and so, they work their way to the ultimate goal with fear by inventing destructive weapons to destroy each other. It is, therefore, the duty of religious and peace leaders of the world to work in cooperation to eradicate all these problems. The world today is unrest because each side does not trust each other. They all want peace. One side calls for peace at Washington, another one at Moscow, while the other at Peking. Their efforts will never achieve peace. They have to be invited to discuss on peace in the religious atmosphere. STRATEGY FOR PEACE Peace is of many levels, by nature, all human beings, after their physical satisfaction of foods consumption, they will have a defilement by sensual craving. They can get rid of this defilement by means of praying to their God. This is the right way to peace. The ability we need to make peace for the world must come from what we used to make peace for ourselves. We have to possess peace in our mind as a foundation. From peace within oneself, there will be peace in a family, then peace in a village, peace in a district, peace in a

country and peace in the world. Peace is, therefore, connected like a chain. It prevails everywhere with no boundaries. There are two ways to achieve peace:1.Encourage all men to be religious and get closer to their God. 2.Find the way to invite world leaders to a discussion with open heart.

1.

2.

THE WORLD REVOLUTIONARY PLAN Men have called for peace for centuries. Politicians as well as Militarists have tried but never find their success. We should allow the leaders of religions to try. How can the religious power be used on this purpose? Here are the points:We have to realize our human value. What are we born for? What we really want will come from the answer of discussion among religious leaders. We all have to contemplate on the fact of death. All of us will surely die not later than a hundred years of life. After our death, can we bring along those accumulated weapons? If we can convince all men to realize the truth of their birth, the reason of their living, and the destination of their next life, there will surely be peace. In order to have religious power, it is necessary to build material objects. They attract the people to come, after which religious leaders will be invited to discuss in a meeting. Furthermore, other leaders of the world will be invited to find a resolution on “ What do men really want?”

3.

and, “What are they living for?” We have to obtain their resolution first. Then let every country observe this resolution. Do it everyday like chanting until everyone remember it well. Then peace will prevail. Unite the power of Dharma by promoting the inter-religious brotherhood among leaders of religions in order to create religious power. All religions teach their followers to do good. None of them teaches evil doing. All of them as we believe, originated from the same source: that is from the World of Divinity, and they also lead to the same ultimate goal: the World of Divinity or the World of God.

STRATEGY FOR THE PREVENTION OF WAR In unifying the religious powers for the prevention of wars, it is necessary to move step by step as follows:1.Promote unifications amongst men with an opinion to creating world unity; 2.Eliminate controversial disagreement on religious doctrines in order to raise spirit of religious brotherhood; 3.Promote good human relations in this world for people of various religious faiths; 4.Encourage all people to cherish humanity consideration in their mind; 5.Take all possible measures for the creation of world eternal peace. ENEMIES OF PEACE WORKERS Workers for peace must be aware of warmongers who have power of politics, money, and economic wealth, penetrating in everywhere around the world. They do not

want peace. We have to find a concrete measure to destroy their movement: the anti-peace movement. They are:1.The movement of War Traders. They make themselves rich in war time; 2.The movement of Arms Traders. They do not want peace, because peace cannot make them rich. 3. The movement of armaments factory owners. They do not want peace. Because if the world has peace, they cannot maintain their factories of armaments. 4. The movement of Mafia. They are traders on narcotic drugs and illegal goods. They do not want peace. The workers for peace have to fight the power of these movements without knowing them. They will normally utilize the power of local government to destroy the peace movement. So, peace workers of the world must be very careful. THE VICTORY OF WINNING THE RACE FOR PEACE The way to fight for victory of world peace is that we have to destroy those movements with following measure:1.All leaders of religions must be united with harmonious sincerity; 2.All peace loving diplomats must be united with harmonious sincerity; 3.All parliaments in the world must be united with harmonious sincerity; 4. Find possible way of holding a world peace conference where leaders of world religions and governments are invited for a meeting on the purpose of their birth, the

reason of their living, and the destination of their next life. When they discuss on the above subjects, they will carefully think with mindfulness. They will finally realize the fact that everyone will die. No need to make war. If they can solve this problem, they can also solve those problems on economy, politics, and armaments. They will close down the nuclear producing factories. The meeting on disarmament become easy. But nowadays , they do not have a meeting to discuss about themselves first. They meet to discuss about all external matters. So, I propose for them to discuss about the truth of themselves first. 5.Try all possible means to establish the World Government. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My beloved friends and followers,

March

1989

I would like to thank you all who are kind enough to organize the merit making to mark any birthday once again by issuing a publication of the works that I have done this past year for the benefit of the public for the next younger generation to study. I am pleased with all of you for your best wishes for me. In this message, I would like to speak about my deep thought to all of you. I dedicate myself to work for religion and humankind since my 22 years of age. Now it is my 46th birthday which is called the middle age. I have made pranidhana that after serving the society to the age of 50 I will ordain and live in the yellow robe until the last day of my life. Now the time falls into dissolution. May I thank the holy power and all believers who help to extend my life longer till today. Four years remain in the limitation of my pranidhana. This time I am worried over one thing, that is, in 1982 I was attacked by a political storm though I did not enter the political arena but politics tackled me until I must refuge for 4 years and 6 months. I paved out to fight for our standing up to the present which is the 3rd year. The defence of the cases is still pending in the court of justice. No case is finalized. Therefore I think that my intention will or will not be fulfilled is the destine of heaven. Finally, may I pray for the power of Triple Gem and power of sacred things in the universe to bestow on you who help to finish this book and those who care for me in making merit for my birthday and participate in the event and those who do not participate in the event but

who have good intention with the prosperity and success all your life. Life is very short. Everyone should be mindful and ready to help your own life for a long survival. With deep appreciation of kindness and support from you all,

PRANIDHANA The Valley of Ariya The Tenasserim Mountains in the midst of forests and mountains. The time passed by very quickly as the flow of a stream which flows away and does not return. All things in the world are wholly Aniccang, Dhukkang and Anatta. Now the 28th March circulates once again in the year 1992. On counting the day I am 49 years old and entering my fiftieth year of life. My friends and followers would like to make a publication which is my brief biography for commemoration because I have already dedicated my worldly life and entered monkhood in Buddhism which causes wonder to the society. Some may doubt why I hurried to ordain though everyone thinks I would ordain on

my completion of fiftieth year of my life. And some said that I entered monkhood because I was forced to, I would like to state here that no one can force me because I have my own truthfulness, “ I am pleased to die rather than to bow to Adhamma.” The cause of decision for ordination is because I have considered that sooner or later I must enter monkhood according to my vow. From October to December 1991 I wandered on pilgrimage in India, Nepal, and Tibet. During that time I made meditation all along and returned to Thailand in December. I remembered that the date of 28th December is Coronation Day of King Taksin the Great. And in a few days it will be the year 1992 which is the significant year of the Sixtieth Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen or her 5th Cycle birthday. I decided that we had nothing to show our loyalty except to ordain for dedication to Her Majesty the Queen. In fact, on the Sixtieth Birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol the Great, I intended to ordain for dedication to Him. But I must defend myself in the court of justice. The cases were not finalized. If I entered the monkhood at that time I might be charged again that I entered the monkhood to escape the cases. Furthermore, when my mother passed away, H.M. the King kindly gave her a royal cremation as a special case. His Majesty’s Royal Grace was remains in my mind all the time. I intended to do something to dedicated merit for the Chakri Dydasty. Finally my defence for the six cases which were charged by the government were finalized in 1991. The Court of Justice has rejected all the six cases. Meanwhile, Her

Majesty the Queen is sixty years old in 1992. I decided when I have no chance to dedicate merit for His Majesty the King but the golden occasion comes I should ordain as a monk to dedicate the merit for Her Majesty the Queen before my completion of 50 years of age. In fact, on counting as the Chinese year I am then 50 years old. I decided to enter monkhood according to my pranidhana < intention> which I intended on my 22 years of age at the time I decided to dedicate my life to serve to society, religion and humankind. I have a motto, “if the man has no moral, he must have honesty. If he has neither moral nor honesty, he is a “ changeful character.” So may the society understands this matter. At last, may I pray for the power of the Triple Gem to protect you all who compiled the book on my brief biography and those who read this book, with more happiness and prosperity in their human life. A man’s life is too short. Don’t fall in carelessness. Be conscious and ready to know that the death follows us up every moment. Don’t mislead the gain, repute, praise and happiness. Please raise your own spirituality for the Noble Path of Nirvana. Written from my deepest thought, Ven. Ariyawanso 8th February 1992

The Valley of Ariya, The Tenasserim Mountains

In the midst of forests and mountains, Being quite and unknown to the external world, No worry, no anxiety, no suffering, extremely happy, Calm clear concentrated mind pure and extremely comfortable, The forest cocks crew with clear voice. The birds sing as rhythm. Monkeys, langurs, flying squirrels, gibbons call and answer like the sound of music . Barking deer, stags cry noisily like the sound of a flute and drum. The tiger crys, groans, and growls with sounding voice. It is like music of the nature in the midst of forests, To make mind and heart quite, listen continuously, To dedicate and expand loving-compassion, For sentient-beings to be friends to each. Ariyawanso Bhikkhu 15th January 1992 15.00 hrs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ways to Peace Today is a Buddhist Sabbath day. with the full moon of the fifth month. I can remember that it is Somdech Toh’s birthday.

Then I walked in meditation praying “ Buddho.” To make merit for him. Delighted amidst the forests, Mountains and bush lines. At very peaceful Ariya valley. Cut out suffering, leave happiness, meet comfort. The body walks in meditation, the mind in oneness. Reach ecstasy occurring for long permanency. Difficult to describe. 17th April 1992 At 23:35 hrs. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------At s small hut amidst the valley, beautiful forests. All over the place is lighted with moonlight. I am alone, deep in the night, very lonely. There is only the sound of forest bugs. I walk in meditation around the hut. Having clear mind with concentration. Look left, look right, seeing only mountain ranges. Surround me as walks, Seem intending to devide external world apart. Protect me while pacing alone. Under the moonlight shining peacefully and quietly. Enlightened mind becomes oneness.

Kalamasutta for ten uncertainties 1. One should doubt in knowledge existed in the ancients. 2. One should doubt in knowledge getting from others. 3. One should doubt in knowledge getting from traditional reports and hearsay. 4. One should doubt in news even getting from persons who have been respected. 5. One should doubt in knowledge getting from one own teachers. 6. One should doubt in knowledge from textbooks. 7. One should doubt in knowledge even of oneself getting from estimation or expectation.

8. One should doubt in knowledge even of oneself getting from assumption of facts. 9. One should doubt in knowledge even of oneself getting from thinking and considering evidences. 10. One should doubt in knowledge even one is certain by one ownself. When you have practiced yourselves according to these ways, you will find the Absolute Truth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Motto for Administrators A leader must be persistent for fighting against falsehood in everyway. Don’t be tricked by anyone. 2.An administrator is like commander in chief in war, the fight in the society is like making war in a battlefield, the leader must present in the area all the time then he will keep abreast with the real cause of situations. 3. If any thing happens, keep suspicious at first, don’t hurry to come to the conclusion. Investigate it to really know, consider it then believe it. Then anything you do won’t be easily mistaken. 1.

DHARMA IDEAL For the Globalization Period

Every world human, All are relatives of the same family, Should keep love and unity. Each life lasts not longer than a hundred years then Death comes. One can laugh together, talk together, For what will they be enemies?
