The recent comment of Honorable President that Buddhism was the first true form of globalisation is very significant in every form. This is because Buddhism was most acceptable to every common people irrespective of their class, status. It didn't have had any stringency in any rituals, rules. In fact, even Buddha objected to being called anything as god thus freeing every human to follow his/her path. I would call this as one of the earliest forms of 'Ubermensch', thus freeing every soul from any kind of the obligation and at the same time saving them from any kind of existential crisis.
Needless to say that Buddhism shows an Administrator to choose his/her own path in the matter of Administration. For instance, when any crisis of conscience come in administrative decision making and s/he has limited time and resources. Like in the matter of riots, violence and maybe an Administrator has to choose between killing or not killing. Whatever decision s/he may choose must be quelled after some time so that it doesn't mentally, psychologically impact him/her. Perhaps it may be a spur of a moment or involuntary step but s/he has to do so. Buddhism frees him/her from any such dilemma.
What is the message from Lord Buddha?
There is a suffering.
Suffering has an origin.
Suffering can cease.
There is a path out of suffering which EIGHTFOLD PATH.
1) Right view 2) Right resolve 3) Right Speech 4) Right conduct 5) Right Livelihood 6) Right Effort
7) Right mindfulness 8) Right Samadhi
Anyone be it an administrator or common man follow this at every instant of the life would find the right answer for any moral dilemma in decision making. Perhaps one would argue it to be too philosophical but for revival or rebirth of new practical knowledge, we need to build up some philosophy and try to work on it block by block. Perhaps humanity is looking for some answer which is beyond this realm of mankind. It requires collective efforts of all human on this earth.
