But China has to bear in mind that the
horrendous sufferings are not inflicted by the Japanese descendants. It is
the Japanese ancestors’ wrongdoings and not the current Japanese descendants’
wrongdoings.
In fact, the current Japanese dealings with
the World after WW2 are largely positive.
But the only thing that has cause
unhappiness to those who have suffered under the hands of the Japanese
ancestors is that the Japanese Cabinets are still visitng the Yashurine Shrine
– and glorifying the past militarism of the war crime of WW2.
Though I doubt Japanese will ever want to go
back to its past military aggression – but still showing the World “Full
Repentance” or “Full Atonement” – will rid Japanese difficulty she face when
dealing with China and South Korea.
“Full Repentance” or “Full Atonement” is a
strength not a weakness – in both mundane world and supramundane world. In
fact, in Supramundane world - “Full Repentance” or “Full Atonement” is an
Attainment of Sainthood.
Japanese bowing - is a sign of manner, also a sign of humbleness, also a sign of lowering of ego or self.
But I think under the current circumstances,
where China is breathing so hard down the Japan’s neck, Japan will not want to
relent to show sign of “Repentance or Atonement” – even though in Japan’s
heart, they know this is the most wholesome way to do.
