Proposing Peaceful Solutions to World Conflicts

– February 25th, 1975, the Hon. World Peace Envoy, Dr. Suchart Kosolkitiwong wrote a personal letter to the Hon.Dr. Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State of the U.S.A., expressing his peace ideas:
“… I have been somewhat puzzled by the stand taken by humankind of this world, both the Free Democracy and Communist Bloc, in that their hearts and their lips speak differently when they chant about peace… I really cannot understand it, and, therefore, decided to write you this message to enquire whether you gentlemen are really talking about true peace or you are just merely lying to the people the world over.”
The Hon. World Peace Envoy Dr. Suchart expressed his doubt about the endeavour for peace of the Superpower countries at that time which there was a report that the US Secretary of State had close relation with Prime Minister Chou En-Lai of the People’s Republic of China after his several visits and also the report. The peace policy of the US Secretary of State was criticized straightforwardly and unkindly by the Prime Minister Chou En-Lai in the plenary session of the Chinese Communist Party Congress. In the same letter, the Hon. World Peace Envoy Dr.Suchart Kosolkitiwong showed his idea for peace as follows:
“… We, on our part, are doing everthing possible to build the religious brotherhood of all faiths. I have also come to a firm conclusion that peace can only come about after all contending parties have reached a common conviction that peace can only be secured by the vibration of the mind and not merely by word power of the lips.
I have, therefore, felt that time has now come for all of us to use religion as the instrument for peace, so that we can stop once and for all this wanton destruction of human lives…
… A permanent peace for this human world could materialize only when leaders of both contending camps can speak sincerely from their hearts. If both parties can really come, we should organize a big ceremony for true peace by issuing communique arma-ments so that they could be smelted down into the statues and images of all prophets and gods. For peace can never endure when all parties are still piling up their arms. The seed of wrath, of illusion and of greed, whenever it springs up, can turn man all of a sudden into a killer.
Once, a trained mind can penetrate and absorb the bliss of Dharma, such mental phenomena could generate the power that will overcome all obstacles to the mighty power of real and everlasting peace…”
– On January 16th, 1975, the Hon. World Peace Envoy Dr. Suchart Kosolkitiwong wrote to H.E. Leonid Brezhnev, Chairman of Supreme Presidium of the USSR, a personal letter presenting his views on peace:
“… True peace will only emerge in this world through the search for means to end conflicts in the ways of life of our human society. I consider, therefore, that the course of action inspired by Communist doctrines cannot produce real peace. On the contrary, it will divide the world into blocs and factions. It cannot consolidate the world into one harmonious society…
… If peace is truly your ultimate goal, one thing that we should strive to accomplish is to explore the solution to current conflicts, so that a firm pedestal for world peace could be built. Such means cannot be found in any medium but inside the human mind, from which the forces of righteousness, morality and contentment could spring forth and make wonders.
I am firmly convinced that ever since this world was opened up for human habitation, the means to produce peace rests hither in the man’s mind as characterized by his conviction on morals, honesty and faith in religion. Such are the forces that produce real and everlasting peace…
… Alas, it is only too rare to find someone courageous enough to stand up amidst this maniacal world and rally for the means to end contemporary conflicts and schisms. I now take this first step out to solicit your cooperation for the building up of brotherhood of mankind and fraternity of religions…”
