...But
the failure and imperfection of the dominating religions is more
visible now. During those centuries when Shamanism, Chinggis Khaan,
his Tengerism were isolated and ignored, there was enough time for
them to prove their perfection. If they were true beliefs, we, all
human beings, would have been living in a perfect world with peace.
However, all of them failed to stop countless wars and violence, and
sufferings. Countries and nations followed their own way, own
religion. But there is none which is perfected. If their religion was
really the perfect way to reach the happiness, why Tibetans, who have
the deepest beliefs and respect to Buddha, have lost their freedom?
It is because of their mistaken belief in tolerance and sympathy.
Life is about fighting and struggling against all the evils, not just
sitting back and praying to idols, and getting enslaved by evil
doers. Even though there is a saying that “water washes away the
blade of stone”, we have to consider the time period which it
requires. Human life can not be compared to stone life. This also
refers to those poor women who are beaten by their drunk husbands.
Such women say that “soft fire makes sweet malts” and silently
bear the insult and suffering, hoping that when husband gets older,
he will get better, and she would feel the real happiness. But they
don't want to accept that when husband gets older, she will also get
older, and by that time, all the precious years would be gone in
waste. In addition to this fact, I want to mention about modern
Buddhist monks, who wear the mask of a saint, hiding their evil face
behind it. Many of them lie without hesitating, steal without second
thought, marry and drink alcohol, do their chanting in wrong way and
even spell a curse for money. If they really want to follow Buddha's
path, they should be striving for the enlightenment, but there is no
evidence of their accomplishment even after hundreds of years.
Christians
claim themselves to be the holiest of humankind, but in reality, they
commit the worst in the name of human rights. We Mongolians have
followed them since 1990s, but as a result, we face too much
suffering within few years. Number of evil doers such as alcoholics,
drug abusers, human traffickers, robbers and those who sells out
their motherland without any doubt have unexpectedly risen up. It
might end up with having no soil to step on and no water to drink.
Instead of defending our freedom and independence, we might lose our
country, and would be buying water to drink and air to breath. The
only way to survive has become to lie and rob just as others do. The
mass of the population is barely surviving while few at the top is
getting richer and richer. People now don't have a chance to live in
peace, they are in constant fear of becoming unemployed or getting
sick, because once they slip off the road, there is no way to get
back. Mass migration from rural to urban areas is increasing due to
lack of grassland and water for the animal stock warns us the danger
of losing everything is just knocking our door. All these things
happened only within the last 20 years. And if it continues further,
what will happen to our children?
Islam
is another religion which follows horrific traditions of degrading
women, just like they were not born by mothers. And religious
conflicts amongst themselves continues never-ending, torn into many
pieces. All these facts show the consequences of disregarding the
existence of Tenger, not loving the Mother Earth, ignoring the true
spirits of nature as well as harmony and balance of Arga/Bilig (male
and female). They misuse the concept of equality for their private
gain. They even don't understand their own idols. By leaving out the
essence of Tengerism, and idolising mortal human beings, whole
humankind is now on the edge of self destruction, by killing our
Mother Earth on which we dwell. All those religious people are
blinded with their greed and know nothing else than digging out the
earth minerals, of which they think as the most precious thing in
life. They grab everything they like, either by lying or robbing.
They call others who oppose them as evil spirited, but themselves,
they don't believe in existence of evil spirit. Even after talking so
much about the hell, they don't know about it at all. And they negate
each others' concept of heaven and hell, despite of claiming the same
themselves. All want to reach the heaven after death, but don't know
how to go there... (to be continued)
