Hiện Tượng Thích Pháp Hòa

Lâm Công Tử

Hiện tượng của thầy Thích Pháp Hòa là hợp với logic của cuộc sống bất cứ thời nào. Bên cạnh ma quỷ luôn có thánh thần, bên cạnh ác tăng luôn có những cao tăng kềm chế. Nếu kẻ lợi dụng mảnh áo cà sa để hướng dẫn Phật tử vào chốn u minh nhằm bóc lột tiền tài, công sức của họ, bằng cúng dường bằng tà thuyết phải cúng Phật mới được siêu sinh thì thầy Pháp Hòa mở ra từng pháp thoại có khả năng giác ngộ người nghe thầy thuyết giảng. Thầy khẳng định những điều đơn giản nhưng hiếm người hiểu rõ, đó là: “Phật Giáo là một triết lý, một lối sống để tìm đến sự an lạc trong tâm hồn, không phải là một tôn giáo vì Phật không phải là đấng toàn năng để có thể ban phước lộc cho người này hay trừng phạt người kia.”

Chính Phủ Thái: Phim, Hình Ảnh Giả Trên Mạng Gây Ra Bất Kính Tam Bảo

Hãy cẩn trọng với giọng nói, video và hình ảnh làm từ trí tuệ nhân tạo AI: một số người hoặc đùa giỡn, hoặc ác ý đã làm ra một số sản phẩm tạo hình giả mạo liên hệ tới các tu sĩ Phật giáo. Những chuyện này đã được nhiều báo Thái Lan và Cam Bốt loan tin. Trong khi chính phủ Thái Lan xem các hình ảnh giả mạo tu sĩ là bất kính, cần phải ngăn chận ngay từ mạng xã hội, nhiều nước khác, như tại Hoa Kỳ, chuyện này không được chính phủ can thiệp, vì xem như chỉ là chuyện đùa giỡn của một số người ưa giỡn. Bởi vì rất nhiều người trong chúng ta không phải là chuyên gia về trí tuệ nhân tạo để phân biệt hình giả và hình thật, nên thái độ phán đoán cần được giữ cho dè dặt, cẩn trọng.
