Buddhist are also asked to try to look forward—asking for, seeking for, a way ahead, a better world, a world of peace. We are not asked to look for ways to "right a wrong," but to seek ways to create good; not asked to get back at someone, but how to prevent such things from happening again. It is thus clear that Buddhists have an enormous healing ministry to perform if they are to be part of a movement toward world peace.
