Publication date: October 3, 2016
Through this interview, published in the Spanish newspaper LA NUEVA ESPAÑA (printed edition), Armando Menéndez unveils his latest publication “THE LITTLE SOLDIER LU”, A Buddhist fable against war. It also reveals the origin and purpose of this fable, and invites us to reflect on moral educational and cultural issues.
Specially addressed to the younger ones, he highlights that today “We live in a violent culture; violent video games, violence on television, sport and even in the stands”, and we should give this matter some serious thought and try to encourage values of peace and harmony, explaining to our youngsters that with a minimal gesture, they themselves can help stop “wars” in their own environment, such as stunning or bullying behaviour at school, racism, teasing the more vulnerable…
Armando tells us through The little soldier Lu, the leading character of his Buddhist fable, that the main war we have to fight is with ourselves, raising awareness for dialogue and tolerance with others.
