  Buddhist Musician in Appeal to Hostage Takers
  Chosun Ilbo, Aug 13, 2007
  Seoul, South Korea -- "The world is one. Why have to fight, why have to kill, make this heaven to hell? God! What he wants is peace of mankind."
  
  
  
  A video clip of "Song for Taliban" written and sung by the physician and Buddhist musician Lee Jin-ho posted on YouTube
  
  "Song for Taliban" made by the Korean doctor and Buddhist musician Lee Jin-ho is spreading rapidly on the Internet with its message of peace for the captors of 21 Korean hostages in Afghanistan.
  
  The video clip of the song, which first appeared on the Korean UCC site Pandora TV, features pictures of pastor Bae Hyung-kyu and Shim Sung-min, two hostages killed by the Taliban. It also features pictures of surviving hostages, with the caption, "Song about the invisible wall between us".
  
  Tranquil guitar music accompanies Lee's voice. The clip also includes the English lyrics on sheets of paper written by Lee and Korean subtitles.
  
  This video was made by Lee's band, Yasodara. Lee is also a physician running a diet clinic in Seoul. “Greed and Desire in Holy disguise should not justify all the violence... Almost every war comes of religion, comes of faith," he sings.
  
  The clip is attracting more and more viewers on UCC sites and has now been posted on YouTube, the worldÂ’s biggest. (www.youtube.com).

  Interesting.
  
  I wouldn't know it's a work from a Buddhist.

  Remember what Buddha taught ...
  
  Man can learn to maintain peace and happiness by applying wisdom diligently without depending on external powers. It is manÂ’s untrained mind that is responsible for all the troubles, calamities, disturbances, unfavourable circumstances and frictions. At the same time, manÂ’s mind can transform the unfortunate situation of the world and render it a peaceful, prosperous and happy place for all to live - if only he uses his mind properly. Man-made problems must be solved by man himself.
  
  We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
  
  ~Buddha (563 - 483 BC)
  
  One act of pure love in saving life is greater than spending the whole of one's time in religious offerings to the gods . . .
  
  ~Buddha (563 - 483 BC)

  Thank you for posting this video clip.
  
  I grief for the hostages.
  I grief for those who believed in God.
  I grief for those who fight in the name of God.
  I grief for those who believed there is Heaven.
  I grief for those who have a faith, faith in what?
  I grief for those who think they are the chosen people.
  I grief for those who died.
