It is interesting to write of all those who have been recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, because somehow sometimes it seems easy what they have done, but in reality it is more difficult than we imagine.
lack of access to education.
In the case of Malala, a young Pakistani who suffered an attack as a teenager, to make evident the lack of access to the education of women and in this case of girls specifically, in the country where he was born.
Malala contributed anonymously in a Blog about the abuses suffered by girls and women in the Taliban regime.
In the Blog he narrated that the schools of his native place were being taken by the Taliban regime and women and girls could not study. In fact, the activity that Malala did clandestinely was undoubtedly high-risk living in a place where freedom of expression is practically non-existent.
It is somewhat difficult to think that such a young girl would be dangerous for a regime and that the only solution to perpetuate her practice was the attempted murder.
education without discrimination ...
Malala explains today that education is not something that has to do with sex or religious affiliation, nor is it a weapon of repression ... deep down we all have the right to know, know, learn and improve ourselves.
Somehow it is good that there are people with the great desire to do the right thing like her, fighting for their own rights and that of others ... this action and this type of people are in danger of extinction.
how willing we are to give…
If we look carefully at the present time, fashion is selfishness, so under this way of looking at things, do we think of the benefit of others, including those who are not our loved ones? Do we detach ourselves from the material to donate to Anyone who needs it as is the people in the street situation ?, Are we generous with our time ?, Do we give the seat to the elderly ?, Do we listen to others attentively and respectfully? ... If we say that if at least to one of the questions we are already on the right track ... if it is not something to reflect on .
In Tibetan culture it is said that it is an activity of the Bodhitsatva to give if life is necessary for others ... of course when the teacher says this ... more than one thinks that it is practically impossible .
Malala without thinking very consciously gave her life in favor of her own well-being and that of others, which is the cause of a great deal of positive merit.
To reach enlightenment according to the teachings of the Budha it is necessary to update the two accumulations: merit and wisdom .
not only their own good ... also that of others ...
Malala's action by herself is a cause of great merit and if somehow she deeply understood that it doesn't matter what you have to give in return for the good of others and she does it with the firm conviction of generating well-being she is updating The accumulation of wisdom.
In fact, these types of actions must have a genuine motivation to work. If, for example, we act looking for power or fame the result would be very different.
In the spiritual practice of the East, at the end of receiving teaching, the dedication of mito is made in which a prayer is recited to aspire for our teachers to have health to continue their teachings in the search for the liberation of all beings, that the altruistic spirit in favor of all beings be increased where it has already been born and that there where it has not been born grow and multiply.
the altruistic spirit ...
In some way we can hope that our world does not stop counting on these kinds of beings like Malala and that its presence in this world continues until the destructive actions disappear and peace and peace flourish. uplifting actions of all who inhabit this world .to remain and increase . That's right
