11. Activity C.1 LISTEN TO THE SPEECH "ON THE THREE EVILS"

12. Question: What do you think is the message of the speech?

13. CHUNKING METHOD GROUP 1 Activity D.1 Humanity has been led astray by three evils – greed, hatred, and ignorance. Whether we are Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Animists, or Atheists, we cannot escape the three inevitable: old age, disease, and death. Nobody can deny that the five sense objects – pretty sight, delightful sound, fragrant smell, savory taste, and nice touch – are fleeting phenomena. They are neither lasting nor permanent.

14. Questions: What are the three evils? What are the three inevitable? Why the five sense objects are described as temporary?

15. GROUP 2 Nor can anybody deny that property is transitory: no one can carry away his property after death. Men have been chasing these transitory pleasures with a dogged tenacity mainly because they hold false views regarding property. They forget that this life is not even one millionth part of the whirlpool of Samsara (the cycles of rebirth), and go on amassing wealth even though it never brings them full satisfaction.

16. Questions: In the speech, U Nu said that people are chasing wealth in everything possible. What do you think is the reason why people are hungry for riches?

17. GROUP 3 This insatiable greed for wealth results in the profit motive which is not directed toward any utilitarian purpose. Once upon a time all commodities were common property, and everybody had a right to use them for his own benefit. But with the advent of the profit motive these commodities became objects of exploitation. They became instruments of wealth and stimulus for greed. This led to the following phenomena:

18. GROUP 3 1. Human society was split into two classes: Haves and Have-nots. 2. The Have-nots had to depend on the haves for their living, and thus the evil system of exploitation of one class by another emerged. 3. With class exploitation, the poor became poorer because they could not get adequate returns for their work. They had to resort to evil ways like stealing, looting, and prostitution.

19. Questions: What can you say about the line “the poor became poorer and the rich became richer?”

20. GROUP 1 4. The lord Buddha has taught us that there are four causes of death: kamma, frame of mind, weather, and food. Under the system of class exploitation, how can the Have-nots enjoy good food and protect themselves from extremes of weather? Can there be any sense of happiness or contentment for them? Can even a good kamma favor one who is cheerless? Thus one who is born into the class of Have-nots is handicapped in all the above four factors, and disease is the inevitable result. 5. How can the Have-nots care for education with their hard struggle for a bare living? Lack of education breeds an ever-increasing band of ignoramuses and Mr. Zeroes. 6. How can a country abounding in ignoramuses and MR. Zeroes ever progress?

21. Questions: Do you think that education is connected to the progress of the country? Why or why not?

22. GROUP 2 It is evident that most of the evils in the world can be traced to the advent of the profit motive. Do you remember the legend of the Padaythabin (the tree of fulfillment) we heard as children? According to the legend, there was once a time when men and women could get whatever they wanted from the Padaythabin tree. There was no problem of food or clothes or housing, and there was no crime. Disease was comparatively unknown. In course of time, however, the people fell victim to greed and spoiled the tree of fulfillment which eventually disappeared. Then a class of people who could not afford to eat well, dress well, or live well appeared, and crime became rampant.

23. Questions: What do you think does Padaythabin tree symbolizes? What are the natural wealth we have in the Philippines?

24. GROUP 3 Now I ask you to think of the Padaythabin as the natural wealth of our country, both above and under the ground. If only this natural wealth is used for the common good of mankind it will be inexhaustible, besides satisfying the needs of everybody. But greed comes in the way. The poorest of the poor wants to become rich; the rich wants to become richer, and the process goes on ad infinitum. Spurred on by greed, people are apt to “botanize on their mother’s graves,” so to say, in order to become richer. Thus the distribution of wealth becomes unequal. While some can amass wealth which cannot be spent in ten lives, others have to wallow in extreme poverty with bare rags on their bodies.

25. Questions: Read carefully the line “while some can amass wealth which cannot be spent in ten lives, others have to wallow in extreme poverty with bare rags on their bodies”. What can you infer about this?
