從愛心出發

清海無上師以英文講於巴拿馬 （新聞協會）
1989.11.29（影帶編號#106）
　

問: 我想了解您對報刊、廣播、電視等傳播媒體的角色的看法和意見。您是否認為媒體在某方面助長了人類之間的敵意？

答: 是，沒錯，我同意。報章雜誌、電視、廣播應該是服務人類、啟發民心、娛樂大眾的最佳工具，而在某些方面，他們的確盡了他們的責任。

但是在另一方面，這股傳播力量卻不小心被誤用了。因此有時在報刊、廣播、電視或戲院裡，會有一些不實、誤解、扭曲的新聞和暴力畫面，以及非常有害的演出。這些錯誤應該改正，因為那會加深國家、族群、派系之間的對立，這樣對和平毫無貢獻。

所以我和這位先生在這方面的看法是一致的。我們也應該盡力提醒報刊、廣播、電視等大眾傳播媒體要記得他們的崇高責任，而不要受制於偏袒的感情或世俗的名望。他們應該選擇健康而有啟發性的題材傳播給大家，摒棄有害、暴力及具有不良影響的資訊，不該將那些傳播給大眾。

我不是說他們不應該報導事實，我的意思是說，他們不該增加世界上的暴力，將更多殘暴、想像出來的暴力及各種惡行表現在電影、新聞和文學作品中，那樣不好，而且對小孩有極壞的影響。

Q: My interest is to know Your impression or Your personal opinion about the role of the press, radio and television. Does it contribute in some way toward the hostility of humanity?

M: Yes, it’s true. I agree with you. The press and television or radio communication systems are supposed to be the best for the service of humankind, for the enlightening of people’s mind and the amusement of the people. And they have fulfilled their duty in some part.

But on the other hand, there were some careless maneuvers of this communicative power. Therefore, sometimes the false and the misunderstanding distortion of news and some kinds of violent pictures and very bad performance are shown on the press, on television, or radio or theater. This mistake should be corrected, because it deepens the hostility between the nations and groups and sects. And that doesn’t contribute to peace.

So I agree with the gentleman regarding his opinion about this matter. We should also do all that is in our power to remind the press and the radio and communication systems to remember their noble duty, and not to give way to partial sentiment or the fame and name of this world. They should select what’s healthy and enlightened to show to the people. And they should forsake what’s harmful, violent or a bad influence and should not show these to the people at large.

I do not mean that they should not report a true story. But I mean that they should not be adding to the violent nature of the world, with more violence and more imaginable violence, and imagining violence and all kinds of evil in the films and in the news and in the literature. That’s bad and has the worst effect on the children.
