What kind of killing does Buddha approve?

August 8, 2013

Buddha answered: there is only one thing: Anger

As the Dhammapada says,
If there’s no wound on the hand,
that hand can hold poison.
Poison won’t penetrate
where there’s no wound.
There’s no evil
for those who don’t do it.

    Matter of conditioning, we may kill to protect others. In Christianity it is actually a sin to stand by and do nothing when eye-witness to a murder.

    poison will penetrate a hand with out a wound, and there is evil for those who don't do it, just ask Burma's muslims.

    Neither abstinence from fish or flesh, nor going naked, nor shaving the head, nor wearing matted hair, nor dressing in a rough garment, nor covering oneself with dirt, nor sacrifying to Agni; will cleanse a man who is not free from delusions……the middle path, keeps aloof from extremes.

Live & Die for Buddhism

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
