500多名僧侣齐聚奥克兰参加全球佛教峰会,议题之一是“放生”_我的网站

A | Sophie 编译 本周末,来自28个国家的500多名佛教僧侣和代表将齐聚奥克兰,参加全球佛教峰会,探讨古老仪式与环保主义之间的冲突问题。

B | 世界佛教僧伽会(WBSC)第十一届大会将集中讨论如何在佛教信仰中应对环境恢复和气候挑战。 Advertise with us WBSC是一个国际非政府组织,成立于1966年,成员遍布亚洲、大洋洲、英国和美国,旨在促进世界各地不同传统的佛教宗教和寺院社区的交流。 "Social media is now the main source of information about the world for 16-24-year-olds, and for all ethnic minorities in the UK," explained Ellis Cashmore, honorary professor of sociology at Aston University in the UK.,"Yet platform moderators have practically unrestricted power to edit, and, if they wish, remove content. This is an unheard-of censorial power. I can't think that, in history, proprietors have ever had such colossal power to control the flow and content of information, not just to one population, but to the world.",The Online Safety Bill was first introduced in the British Parliament in March 2022 with the aim of holding social media platforms, search engines and various websites to account for hosting illegal activities or spreading harmful content.,The newly introduced amendment is "designed to guard against the arbitrary removal of articles from journalists at recognized news outlets when shared on social media platforms," according to the UK government's website. The authors of the amendment draw attention to the fact that half of British adults use social media for news, with Facebook*, Twitter and Instagram* being the most popular platforms. When it comes to 16-24 year-olds, the internet is the most-used platform.,Once the bill comes into force, social media giants would be required "to ensure recognized news publishers’ articles remain viewable and accessible on their sites even if they are under review by moderators.",Facebook Doesn't Know What Happens to Users' Data, How It Spreads as Regulators Tighten Their Grip27 April, 19:01 GMT,The introduction of the new amendment can be explained by the fact that the tech giants have proved themselves impossible to control, the professor explained.,"Tech companies operate in a relatively unrestricted way and governments around the world usually rely on the companies' goodwill," he said.,Still, the new amendment is focused on so-called "category one companies", which include "the largest and most popular social media platforms", and is not designed to shield alternative media sources.,The bill's selective approach has been manifested by its earlier amendment obligating social media platforms "to proactively look for and remove disinformation from foreign state actors which harm the UK." It specifically singles out Russian news, with an obvious reference to Sputnik News and RT - both previously banned by the EU and social media giants after the beginning of the Russian special operation to de-militarize and de-Nazify Ukraine.,"Freedom of speech and expression are highly valued principles in western Europe and North America," says Cashmore. "But it is interesting that, after the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, there were no protests at the decisions of western governments to prohibit broadcasts and news supplies from RT, Sputnik and maybe a few less important news outlets.",EU Bans Work of Sputnik News Sites, Broadcasting of RT TV Channel in the Community From 2 March2 March, 11:53 GMT,The professor notes that wiping Russian news from the media sphere is senseless given that many westerners are interested in learning Russian perspectives. "This does not mean they would be persuaded or even influenced, but they feel entitled to make up their own minds independently. They have been denied that facility," Cashmore stressed.,"Since February, Russia, its people and its values have been condemned, denounced and stigmatized," said the professor. "Vladimir Putin has been personally vilified. It is difficult to see this ending, at least not for 30 years. Russia has been excluded from many world affairs and many believe Russia and the other BRICS countries may coalesce into an international configuration to rival NATO. This would become a new world order.",Meanwhile, the bill's amendments have raised concerns among British campaigners who are warning the government that in its current form the proposed internet safety laws are “on the verge of being unworkable," according to The Independent.,In particular, campaigners have advocated for a number of measures to strengthen freedom of expression and rights safeguards to better protect people from marginalized backgrounds and expand transparency requirements on firms to boost access to data for researchers and academics.,*Facebook and Instagram are banned in Russia over extremist activities.。 在奥克兰举行的会议将是该组织迄今为止规模最大的全球会议,也是第一次在亚洲以外的地方举行。

C | 讨论的议题之一将是古老的“放生”仪式——将活着的生物放归自然——是否应该被禁止。

D | WBSC秘书长释慧雄(Shi Hui Siong)法师表示,放生动物的做法可以追溯到佛陀称赞一位僧人放生困在陷阱的动物,以及他对所有生灵表达慈悲的教诲。 但是,今天许多人——包括新西兰人——可能会造成更多伤害而不是帮助。 据报道,在奥克兰,佛教徒曾将乌龟放生到Western Springs,将非本地鱼类放生到沿海水域。

E | “最初的做法是把被困的动物放回它们本来的自然环境中,而不是说把它们放生到会对生态系统造成破坏的地方。” “我们需要强调的是,这不是佛教所倡导的。” 慧雄法师来自新加坡,他表示,WBSC支持新加坡政府取缔在当地进行的放生被困动物的宗教做法。 他将在这次为期两天的活动中向聚集在这里的僧侣和代表们发表演讲。 以“回归自然,和谐共生”为主题的峰会将于周日在Bombay Hills的观音山道场(Quan Am Buddhist Monastery)开幕,然后周一在Pakuranga Heights的法聚寺(Oneness Buddhist Temple)继续举行。 慧雄法师说,此次大会将寻求在面对全球挑战时找到集体解决方案,并将向公众开放。 “这是一个机会,让我们探索共同的责任,应对紧迫的全球挑战,并寻求促进人类与环境之间共生关系的方法。” 他表示,人文主义佛教鼓励环保活动,这次会议将为佛教徒和非佛教徒合作应对环境挑战提供一个平台。

F | 奥克兰法聚寺的Yi Shuen师太说,这个会议召开得很及时。 “在全球冲突不断升级和气候变化持续影响的背景下,这次大会极具意义。” 注:本文为编译/原创,欢迎转发分享;但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者,本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。 chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有 (责编:Sophie) 相关内容 总理坚称“有权”领5.2万纽币住宿津贴,工党党魁抨击他“极其虚伪” 新西兰正式宣布“禁枪令修正法案”:全面打击黑帮犯罪 曝光!新西兰议员和部长的开支,都花了多少钱? 工党攻击警察部长是“雇佣兵”杀过人,部长回应 冲上热搜!总理被曝领5.2万纽币住宿津贴住自己的房子 新西兰将哈马斯的政治机构指定为恐怖主义实体 “疯狂三月”来袭,AT考虑实施每周票价上限,不超过…… 不舍Newshub关闭,AM Show知名主持人泪洒直播间。
