人種・宗派に基づく差別に基づく、ヘイトスピーチや「右翼テロ」は、いまや先進国だけでなく開発途上国でもみられます。これは不満や憎悪の噴出であると同時に、社会をさらに混乱させる原動力にもなります。 インド洋にうかぶスリランカでは、3月6日に政府が非常事態を宣言。同国では少数派ムスリムへの嫌がらせや襲撃を、当局がともすれば放置しがちであったことが、大規模な反ムスリム暴動とそれに続く非常事態宣言に行き着きました。いわば、スリランカはヘイトスピーチを積極的に取り締まらなかったツケに直面しているといえます。 非常事態宣言への道 スリランカは人口約2100万人。その約70パーセントを占めるシンハラ人の多くは仏教徒です。今回の非常事態宣言のきっかけとなったのは、少数派ムーア人（約9パーセント）などのムスリムに対するシンハラ人の暴動でした。 3月6日、中部州の複数の町で、ムスリムが多い地域を数百人のシンハラ

『大アジア思想活劇』を読んで - 住職のひとりごと
明治時代、それは日本仏教にとって未曾有の衝撃に襲われた時代である。皇室の保護、国家の体制に護られ、また各時代の為政者に師事されてきた仏教、そして江戸時代には国教と言える地位にあった仏教が、天地逆転して賊教にまで貶められたと言っては言いすぎであろうか。明治初年の神仏分離令から肉食妻帯解禁の布告が出るまでの五年間ほどは各地で寺院が廃合され、僧侶が還俗させられたり、仏像経巻も焼却廃棄された。こぞって僧職が還俗して神官になり、神社に遣えた大寺もあった。そういう時代である。 『大アジア思想活劇―仏教が結んだ、もうひとつの近代史』(平成２０年９月サンガ刊)は、その激動の明治仏教から戦後までの近代の仏教について、アジアの多くの国が経験した植民地支配を仏教の復興によって国民に仏教徒としての誇りを取り戻すことによって独立運動へと志気を高めていったスリランカという誇り高き仏教国との交渉から紐解いていく。そして
