Re: Help Rescue Aum and Supreme Truth, Humanity's Common Symbols!



Dear friends of Dharma:

It's been eleven weeks since the tragedy of Sarin overshadowed our
common values of Supreme Truth, and the sound-symbol "Aum".

I would like to find out how we can still save "Aum" and "Supreme
Truth" from the clutches of negative publicity.   Those who have an
inkling of what these precious symbols of humanity are  about, owe it
to themselves, their faiths, and humanity at large, to educate the
media.

I feel it is still not too late to rescue Aum.   Perhaps Supreme Truth
can speak for itself.  But "Aum" is fragile.  

If we tell people what Aum and Supreme Truth really mean, we can
restore dignity back to our symbols, here, and in Japan, and anyplace
on earth that this sacred duo was tarnished without any fault of the
true believers of Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, or TM/Yoga
practioners.

United we stand.   Divided, our symbols fall, and stay fallen.   Fallen
on the ground that was consecrated by the blood of billions of
believers who sacrificed their mortal lives for the benefit of common
good.    

It is upto you and me, at this time of great difficulty for Aum and
Supreme Truth, whether we will  allow our precious symbols bite the
dust for lack of a few words.   The only action needed is that of the
pen, keyboard or telephone.   Only battle-ground is the postal box, the
modem, or the podium.   Only risk is the loss of a few words on deaf
ears.   

Can I ask you to risk that much?   For Aum and Supreme Truth?   May
wisdom of Supreme Truth  guide us into positive, corrective action.  
Aum Tat Sat!   (Verily, That Is True!)


P.S.1:
Celebrating the Spirit conference is coming up (June 19-21, UC
Berkeley).   President Clinton, U. N. Secretary General Boutros
Boutros-Ghali, and 185 U. N. ambassadors, and representatives of Planet
Earth's glorious faiths will be present.  If we pool our resources,
perhaps we can ask all gathered to stand unified to protect our
precious symbols such as Aum, Amen, Amin, Hum, and many others.
  I have been told people can pass out flyers outside the conference 
hall (Student Union?).  

If anyone who reads this is connected with this or similar event, and 
can put in a word for Aum, I strongly urge you to do so.

P.S.2:  I have three sample letters and three endorsements I can send
to anyone who wants to collect signatures asking media to stop abuse of
"Aum" and "Supreme Truth".  Thank you for your support of our symbols.
