Once a City



On August 6, 1945, at 8.15 am, the uranium atom bomb exploded 580 meters above the city of Hiroshima. The giant fireball created, raised surface temperatures up to 4,000C. Fierce heat rays and radiation burst out in every direction, unleashing a high pressure shockwave, vaporizing thousands and thousands of people and animals, melting buildings and streetcars, reducing a 400-year-old city to dust. Man is an agent that brings about changes. In this case, it is rather adverse. Since man has a freedom for choice, why pick this?

Our Lama during the ritrit said very simple and for that terrible words:

Everything comes from the mind. If we analyze it very good, we will discover that the most great and sinnlos wars come from the mind of one person.

Something like this. I could not find the quoter in this moment.

When you think about it and look on these pictures, you understand how is it terrible. The pilot of that airplane became mad later, they say, but the person who invented all that, how coud he live all this life with this stone on his shoulders?

Mind is the fore runner of anything! The inventor can live with it because he won the Nobel Peace Prize!
