Buddhists feel that everyone is basically good leg, and the main purpose of Buddhism is to educate, transform and reform and not to destroy. If someone is sick, Buddhism who tries to get rid of the disease rather than destroy infected person.
Buddhist, compassion and wisdom, always respect and uphold life of all beings. Buddha appears in this world, because he wanted to bring peace and happiness to gods and men.
Indeed, throughout history, Buddhism has never brought suffering to anyone. Buddhism only given metabolic pathways suffering for those who have an inquiring mind and the desire to reach that path.
Today, on the occasion of Milwaukee Fellowship held talks on the theme of Buddhist Perspective on the death penalty , we will shed light on the subject with the following ideas:
I. In World
The important precepts and fundamental spiritual guidance developed very familiar to Buddhists as the five precepts (Panca Sila) [1]:
1. Con vow to keep sex not kill creatures.
2. Son of the vow of obedience to the world does not take no for.
3. Con vow to keep sex not adultery.
4. Con vow to keep the world do not lie.
5. Con vow to keep sex not drunk.
In the negative sense, in this world are the commandments, that is not to commit any sin or crime. The nature of the prohibition is expressed in two ways:
(A) to stop and prevent sin or crime, such as drunk banned because it can lead to the sin or crime;
(B) to terminate and re-did crimes, such as murder, robbery, adultery, lying, etc. ... it is the very nature of evil.
In a positive sense, the first world to help us grow compassion. Second Precept can help foster virtue honest, generous mind, no attachments and livelihood. Third world help to cultivate self-restraint, and the protection of the base emotions overpower carnal desires. About Wednesday develop confidence makes love, true heart, and moral integrity. And last helps us return to mindfulness, awareness, and insight.
Therefore, the practice of Buddhist precepts that will help us live a moral life, advancement in spiritual life and help individuals promote peaceful co-existence in the spirit of cooperation, information mutual trust in the community and promote social progress and growing.
II. World first
World's first supporters tend to oppose the destruction of life. This is based on the principle of kindness and respect for the rights of all living species.
In the Brahma Net Sutra [2], the Buddha taught thoroughly Bodhisattva Precepts is the first "disciple of the Buddha shall not himself kill, or make people kill, kill vehicles, praised the killing, that killing rejoice rings to use spells to kill, kill people, predestined to kill, how to kill, kill now.
There are five conditions [3] to the killing action is:
(1) There exists a being, human or animal;
(2) Recognize that there are living beings;
(3) The intention or the decision to kill;
(4) Use appropriate means to carry out the killing action;
(5) And there are consequences leading to death.
Missing any one of these conditions, the killing will not constitute, although death has occurred. That is only seen as an accident and not caused any evil effect to do this action.
There are six ways to kill [4]: (1) killed with his own hands, (2) ordered others to kill, (3) kill by shooting, throwing rocks, sticks, etc. ..., (4) kill by digging bunkers, etc ... to ensnare beings, (5) murder by using his powers, or the mysterious ways, and (6) killed by the mantra, or any other occult sciences.
Whatever the tool used to kill or destroy the spiritual life of another sentient beings who had committed the killing and career guidance.
Therefore, a true Buddhist or may not support the death penalty because the death penalty is synonymous with deprivation or termination of human life and conditions in any one of six ways of killing.
III. Compassion
In the first world in Brahma Net Sutra [5], the Buddha taught that "Buddhists are supposed to have compassion, filial piety, established to rescue and protect all beings. On the contrary, bathroom cabinets have the heart to kill baby, this Buddhist Bodhisattva Ba La Di commit crimes ".
By observing this world we know how to cultivate loving kindness and compassion. We love others as yourself that. Feel the pain of others as their own, we will endeavor to do what we can to relieve their suffering.
Thus, we cultivate compassion and selfless spiritual growth because the welfare of others, a sense of respect and protection for all beings.
In the Compassionate Buddha also taught:
Hopefully no one,
Defraud, deceive anyone,
Nobody contempt,
At anywhere.
None other than anger,
Not so great opposition.
Have the desire,
How miserable for each other.
As the mother's heart,
For his son,
Lifetime protection concerns,
Only child, her birth.
Also, for all
The sentient beings,
Let's cultivate the mind,
None vast amount [6].
IV. Buddhahood
Another reason that Buddhists do not support the death penalty is that the Buddha taught that the essence of living beings (human or animal) is pure, is more subtle than a pure mind, but the mind cure That is enlightenment or enlightened Buddha nature called ( Buddhata ), the knowledge possessed by a Buddha.
As confirmation Buddha in the Lotus Sutra [7] "... And I see a Buddhist, have full moral, not flawed majestic nature as weapons in Europe to come clean about wisdom." So, if this man could become violent for many reasons, but one particular reason is mainly due to the negative thoughts which arise as a result of the environment and their circumstances. However, they all have the potential to improve as well as have the ability to turn to ever true nature of yourself.
V. No killing
As mentioned, all living beings have Buddha nature. So we not only do not kill people, but should not do any more harm animals. Furthermore, in some cases, depending on karma, humans can be reborn as humans and animals can be born as a man.
There is a guiding principle in Buddhism fundamental to the practice of virtue is no harm ( ahimsa ) - that prohibit the injury or death of any living being.
Because we wish to live, we should not kill people or even other beings. Furthermore, the karma of killing is understood as the root of all suffering and the fundamental cause of sickness and war, and the forces of killing are explicitly identified with the demonic.
Ideally ultimate and most universal of Buddhism is served non-stop until the complete cessation of suffering permanent all beings, not just for humans.
As in the Brahma Net Sutra [8], the Buddha said: 'Every time a Bodhisattva [9] that a person preparing to kill an animal, he should skillful means to rescue and protect it, freeing it overcome the predicament and suffering that ... '
VI. Vegetarians
Immense compassion for all also means that we not only do not kill humans and animals, but also need to comply with rules of keeping oneself such as vegetarian. These are the positive teachings of the Buddha and authentication involves the complete development of the human personality.
All living beings -
Humans or animals,
It is its life.
Were afraid butcher knife,
Waste them into pieces.
Instead brutal and cowardly,
Why not stop the killing and loving life? [10]
Buddha encouraged vegetarianism is a completely natural and require reasonable not commensurate with the killing. The Bodhisattva Precepts also clearly prohibit eating salty.
Venerable Kassapa the Great Buddha asked, "Why not let the Thus Come eat meat?" The Buddha replied, "because the meat will cut off the seed of great compassion," [11].
We should not limit his compassion for animals or favorite things, but extend to all beings, even of those in the wrong. Compassion is the basis for all interactions with others of us, without attention to perspective and what are their activities.
VII. Vengeance
For these reasons and purposes that the legal system of society pose the death penalty. This project is used to punish offenders, not repeat them prevent evil actions have done and to deter others.
However, it is also clearly a form of revenge in a more subtle sense.
We need to reduce the fear, hatred, and thoughts of revenge by torturing and killing.
The concept of revenge totally alien to the Buddhist world. The death penalty is a harsh punishment with the purpose to permanently end a life is lived. When prisoners condemned to death, that person no longer has any more chance to change, restore or compensate for damage caused.
Does the implementation of the death penalty for a murderer was convicted victim is not alive?
Of course not. Thus, the death penalty would be beneficial.
Buddha said:
"Hostilities enemy,
Life does not have to be.
Hostilities no enemies,
Is the eternal law "[12].
VIII. Psychology
According to Buddhism, the conditions for the next life (reincarnation) depends on the last thoughts, ie last state of consciousness before dying man. Consciousness or mentality of criminals certainly could not have been a peaceful state. Subjecting him to receive more executions will make the state of mind that is even more serious, filled him with anger and fear. As a result, he is going to be reborn as a human, they may be even more violent while now. When you grow up, it could continue to sin even worse crimes have done in previous lives.
In State experience discrimination (Business Central, No. 135) [13], the Buddha said this:
"Here, the monks, some woman or man, indignant, resentful much is said, in a moment of instant resentment, anger, hatred, opposition and outrage manifested, anger, resentment. Because of her career, so successful, so accomplished, after dissolution of the body corporate networks, he was born in a state of ... If birth back to the shape they must be ugly. The way that leads to bad color, ie indignation, anger, resentment.
Therefore, we need to avoid mentality leads to insecurity for prisoners because it would have forced people to face death an unwilling and reluctant.
IX. Law of Karma
Karma or action is power generated by thoughts, words and actions of human beings. It can be positive, negative or visualizations, and can have a profound effect on the regeneration of all sentient beings.
Negative karma leads to rebirth in one of three realms (hell, hungry ghosts, or animal); karma leads to rebirth in the human realm species sex god or gods, while industrial visualization meditation to be reborn in the formless realm and identity [14].
In Telakatahagatha shelves stating: "Whoever destroys the life of any living being, reborn in the next time that person can suddenly died while the most prolific, though he is possessed of a modern life, rich to and beautiful, ... "[15].
Buddha [16]:
Here, the monks, some woman or man, killing, cruel, blood-covered hand, specializes in killing wounded heart, not the mind of compassion for sentient. Because of her career, so successful, so accomplished, after dissolution of the body corporate networks, was born in the realm of evil, beast deprivation, in hell. If, after the dissolution of the body corporate networks, the data was not born into the world, beasts of deprivation, hell, if he was to go to species, where he was born, he had short life. The way that leads to short life, monks, ie killing, cruel, blood-covered hands, killing wounded heart specialist, heart no compassion for sentient beings.
But here, the monks, some woman or man, quit killing, killing shun, Minister, left for, know your mind, merciful, compassionate for the happy life we all born and living beings. Because of her career, so successful, so accomplished, after dissolution of the body corporate networks, he was born into a happy destination, Heaven, in life. If the network after dissolution of the body, instead of his reappearing in a fun, Heaven, in life, if he went to the man, where he was born, he was longevity. The road that leads to life, the monks, ie abandon killing, killing shun, Minister, left for, know your mind, have compassion, mercy, to live happy and all beings beings.
Thus, the arguments presented here, it is clear that the killing of even a violent criminal who create bad karma for it, and reduce the possibility of a peaceful death for them.
Buddhist scriptures X.
Reject the death penalty is a topic often referred to in Buddhism that we will see this through the implied negative range of the Buddha presented in the scriptures and commentaries of both organ systems Theravada and Mahayana (I mention here only a few typical cases) as follows:
A. Theravada
1. Dhammapada:
"People are afraid of punishment,
People are afraid of death.
Get yourself as an example
Not killing, not sure kill. "[17]
"People are afraid of punishment,
People want to live longer;
Get yourself as an example,
Not killing, not sure kill. "[18]
"Minister, for being,
Weak or resilience,
Not killing, not sure kill,
She called his Brahmin. "[19]
2. Jataka:
i. Formerly Nai Banian
In the Jataka [20] have reported that in a previous lifetime and that, Buddha was born as Princess named Nai Nyagrodha. He offered to substitute his own life for a pregnant doe will give birth to go to the king loaded network. Back in a previous lifetime, Buddha sacrificed his life to feeding a hungry tiger and her two cubs are stuck in the snow.
He said that saving lives is only meaningful protection for your personal self. I would rather take his own life is better than killing other beings.
There are many stories of Buddha's previous lives as a bodhisattva as he practiced the world not keep killing, sacrificing his life to keep the round world and the growth of compassion.
Buddha said:
Moreover, one observes thus: "From the past to the present day, I have lost my life many times. At times I have incarnated as a malevolent bandits, a bird, or animal in whom I have lived alone for the purpose of pursuing enrichment or benefit base desire. But now I was about to leave her to circle the world can hold. I can not sparing themselves and sacrifice my life to keep the world we want, there will be thousands of times more protection benefit themselves but to violate the prohibitions. In this way of thinking, I decided that I need to be sacrificed to protect the integrity of the pure precepts.
ii. Formerly a butcher's son
This story has it that there is one time, one has seen enough of the flow [21] born into a family of butchers. When adulthood, although aspired to the butler, but he did not want to kill animals. One day, his parents gave him a knife and a sheep and told him, "If you do not kill the sheep, the parents will not see the sun for the moon and the food and drink to live."
He thought to himself, "If I kill this sheep, I will be creating this occupation lifetime. How could I commit this great crime simply for the sake of yourself? "Then he took up the knife and killed himself. When parents open look at the sheep was standing on one side, while the son was lying there not breathing.
Shortly after his death, he was born in the heavens by joy letting go, not sparing his own life to preserve the integrity of the pure precepts.
Happiness is a method of liberating living beings in the Buddhist practice of rescuing animals, birds, fish etc ... that are destined for slaughter or captivity often. They were released as been given a new life. This practice illustrates fundamental tenets of Buddhist compassion for all beings.
iii. Formerly Janasandha
This story [22] by the Buddha to the king of Kosala. It tells the tale of a certain prince Janasandha, son of the king of Benares Brahmadatta:
When a certain prince Janasandha to adulthood, and after completing the training Takkasila talent in return, the king was an amnesty for all prisoners, and gave him the viceroyalty. Later when the ice king, prince succeeding to the throne, and he built six ... farm table legs there, day after day, he used to distribute six hundred pieces of money and encourage the whole population to practice almsgiving; door and a permanent prison where executions are no longer sinners ...
iv. Muga precursor Pakkha
This [23] by the Buddha to the bhikkhus them, explain that sanctions can impact both the executor and directly penalized. The story is about a prince of the king of Kasi unique name is Temiya-kumaro (say neat is Temiya).
Once a month old prince, he was a beautiful dress and carried into the Emperor. Look at the love child emperor embraces and play with them. At the same time, there are four robbers were brought before the king, one in four names that he was sanctioned a thousand thorns wrapped rod, another name must be shackled in chains, a name must be stabbed by another teacher, and last name stabbed piles throughout the whole body. Bodhisattva (prince full month) to hear his father say, horrifying thought: "Oh my father as king bore the karma that causes people to hell."
Well aware of the consequences of his father and fearing what would happen to him after succeeding to the throne if he did the same thing, so Temiya determined pretend deaf and crippled during sixteen years ( because he does not want to inherit the throne).
Finally, Temiya was satisfied when he became an ascetic hermit leave his capital and then return to education of all the royal family and many others to follow his practice.
This story is similar to the life story of Shakyamuni Buddha grew up in the palace, but then renounced the world to seek the truth.
3. Central Business
Business Angulimala (Business Central, No. 152) [24] is a well-known texts about the power of rehabilitation.
There is a robber and murderer Angulimala's extremely bad name (meaning "finger Garland." This Garland finger of his victims). All the locals are afraid of Angulimala is understandable. At that time, the Buddha was staying in the village, walk alone down a certain path where the killer Angulimala heard hiding there. With great dignity, Buddha and Angulimala deft touch of his admission as a disciple.
At that time, due to public request, the King commanded soldiers to arrest Angulimala. He comes across the Buddha and explained his situation. With that, the Buddha shows him that Angulimala wages and living peacefully as a monk. King was completely taken aback by this witness. He was amazed how the Buddha can change Angulimala like.
This suggests that the notion of rehabilitation Buddhism. Of course, rehabilitation and death are two mutually exclusive concepts.
Anyway, in terms of karma, Angulimala still considerable bad now kills more people earlier, so he would eventually have died suddenly, painfully by this karma. However, a clear sense of rehabilitation is the main content of this text.
Rehabilitation driving force for crime are aware of their sins and try to avoid them in the future. According to Buddhism, a rehabilitated offender, even a murderer, will still remember our Buddha nature. For society, reforming a criminal means regaining a useful member that may somehow contribute to the public welfare.
B. Mahayana sutras
1. the Flower Adornment Sutra (also called Dai Phuong Quang Kinh Hoa Nghiem Buddhist)
The study of the death penalty in the United strictly economic in nature and represent a higher philosophy.
Economics says that there is a Bodhisattva called genius pupil ( Sudhana Sresthidaraka ) Three Lions are going to learn
direction. One of his guru is king Anala.
Anala King lived in a beautiful castle and very far. To keep inks as social order, kings used witchcraft manifests sinners executed intense pain, to prevent people from committing crimes.
In fact, the King does not harm anyone, because the prisoners as well as the penalties are just illusions. King explained to the pupils that the genius of this magic as a means of compassion for the people to abandon fear that dare to commit sin or not.
ii. Brahma Net Sutra
In the Brahma Net Sutra [25], the Buddha said: "Whenever a Bodhisattva sees a person preparing to kill an animal, then he should use skillful means to salvation, deliverance for its exit status hardships and suffering ... "
And he taught the world Bodhisattva 20th that: "If the Buddhists for compassionate release of animals that work. Visualize that all men are my father, all women are my mother. For many generations we are born where it falls. That is why they are living in the six paths of our parents. If you kill them eating flesh is killing our parents, but also the murder of my older relatives. All four elements are duty body itself, of our duty, so often have to work free birth and advise others to do. If that killing people should find ways to rescue them was how to escape suffering.
Luan C. Mahayana
Rajaparikatha - ratnamala [26]:
Nagarjuna (2 or 3 centuries after TL) [27], a famous Buddhist philosopher southern India and is also the author of the treatise Rajaparikatha - ratnamala (valuable advice for King). The contents of this presentation speech arts leaders in the spirit of Buddhism. King Nagarjuna advised Udayi (Satavahana Dynasty) about a lot of problems [28]. In particular, Nagarjuna mentioned on the death penalty as follows:
"Hey, great compassion He needs should always
Goodwill arising save all sentient beings,
Even those who have committed a mortal sin.
Again a lot of interest,
For murderers, create great crime;
Forgetting where the center is contained immeasurable compassion
After the cruel massacre of the murderer and clear etiology,
Only exiled, or do not use felony murder "[29].
XI. The Indian Buddhist kings.
i. Buddhist king (North India)
a) Asoka [30], one of the first rulers of ancient India, refused to use military force instead of spreading a philosophy of non-violence and respect for all people.
The edicts of Ashoka engraved on the pillar, showing him as a king had other ideas often ahead of its time.
The following summarizes some of the edicts of Asoka, as follows:
Prohibitions:
- Do not use animals for religious rituals.
- To prohibit the slaughter of all cattle and animals.
- The king would not organize hunts.
- King of glory abandon the war of aggression.
- Winning dhamma most resounding.
The public works:
- Develop and hospitals for animals.
- Establishment of many herbal gardens.
- Digging wells, planting trees, and rest houses along the roads for the convenience of travelers and animals.
Relationship between Humans:
- People need to obey their parents and the chief level, teachers hold their morale.
- People should not mistreat their servants and slaves
- People should be generous to the religious persons, relatives, and friends.
Religion:
- The religious sect "may dwell everywhere."
- The others beliefs should not attack each other as "learn your religion."
Welfare for the people:
- The court officials to pay attention to the interests of the elderly, the poor, and prisoners.
- The official report public can work directly with the audience with me at all times, everywhere.
- The authorities must ensure that the management operating efficiently for the benefit and happiness of the people.
Justice:
- The judge must be independent and act consistently in procedures and sanctions.
- Inmates should be forgiven as much as possible.
- The death penalty should be used with restraint and the guilty should be sentenced to three days.
- "Killing is not good karma"
In the final decree, probably inscribed in 242 BC, Ashoka wrote: "In this world, there are two ways to achieve the law's goodness and faith.
But in these two things, the laws have been less effective than faith. "These officers are specially trained, called the dhamma-mahamattas (General Authority missionaries) often has visited to learn the views of the people and guide them to goodness.
This is easy for us to realize that Asoka spiritual support any harm ( ahimsa ) and prefer not to apply the death penalty.
He is a devout Buddhist Dharma, diligent so he can not allow executions to occur.
b) In the sixth century, two monks who worship the Chinese Sung Yun and Hui Sheng pilgrims visited India and wrote as follows:
We went into the water Ouchang (Oudyana). The north of the country bordering Ling mountains, adjacent to the southern Indian ... king of the country practicing and devout vegetarian ... After lunch, take care of yourself king personally state affairs.
Suppose someone has committed murder, this person is not executed but exiled to the island, which provide enough food to sustain life. After evaluation, the penalty is adjusted depending on the severity of the circumstances [31].
ii. Buddhist king (Central India)
Fa Hien (337-422), a monk from Chinese pilgrim to India very soon, there is mention of Buddhist kings of Central India as follows:
King of the Middle Indian authorities without decapitation (ie capital punishment in general) or physical punishments. Criminals are simply fined, lightly or heavily depending on the circumstances of each case. Even in the case of willful violence, they are right hand only. Throughout the country not killing people, not drunk, also holds the world not eat onions or garlic [32].
iii. Buddhist king (the Centre for India)
In the eighth century, there Hye Ch'o the first North-India to worship similar to Fa Hien, but how about three centuries later.
He also has described the Buddhist kings ruled the Indian center has not used the death penalty: "National legislation in the area of India has not prescribed shackled, beaten or imprisoned, depending on the level the crime. No death sentence "[33].
iv. Buddhist King (West Indies)
Hye Ch'o see an almost identical situation in the West Indies: "There is no shackles, beatings, imprisonment, death, or similar penalty" [34].
King of Japan
In 724 AD, Emperor Shomu (724-749), a devout Buddhists follow the Kegon School, Todai-ji temple building is still popular in the city of Nara, forbade the death penalty. This takes place at the end of the Nara period (715-794). Similarly, during the Heian period (794-1185) very little enforcement of the death penalty [35].
His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet
His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet XIII that he Thubten Gyatso (1876-1933), the forerunner of the Dalai Lama XIV, Tenzin Gyatso is currently (born 1935). Dalai Lama thirteenth struggle to modernize Tibet and maintain national sovereignty against England and then China. He also reform the legal system of feudal Tibet. One of the changes that the abolition of the death penalty around 1920. Before that time, the Dalai Lama often avoid direct intervention in the case of the death penalty because of his religious role [36].
XII. Reality Application
One obvious thing that people who have a certain potential, so the coaching issue to arouse her potential. We should not be victims of negative emotions or violence. The solution to transform the thinking of people seem practical than creating confrontation and collision.
The death penalty is not the best solution to prevent those who do evil. It is only a temporary solution to deter crime.
However, if we use the solution of this harsh punishment to execute, this is not a meaningful action and appropriate.
It would lose all sense of compassion and kindness in our hearts.
Action meaningful and appropriate to be that when a person commits a crime, or been imprisoned or under house arrest, and set out a certain period of time to correct his wrong doing. He has the ability to realize his wrong action and then repent consciousness. Because humans are conscious beings, so who knows evil ashamed of his wrongdoing. Guys that want to improve misconduct, we must put emphasis on education, the promotion of human values through ethical, religious or social programs to support healthy person. We need more support for education and encourage a sense of universal responsibility. We also need to explain the importance of the practice of compassion, kindness for the sake of yourself and try to minimize the factors that foster murderous tendencies, such as the proliferation of weapons in our society ... to compel him to practice, we should propose some specific methods as below:
1 / He should live alone for a period of about one or two months, a year or two to realize and repent his wrongdoing.
2 / encourage litigants to do a good job helping others.
3 / He should practice meditation daily to immoral behavior change become friendly.
4 / He must consider his misconduct stems from.
5 / Misconduct may stem from murder, robbery, adultery, deception, use of alcohol, drugs ...
6 / method to handle the wrongful act was carried out eight right path: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, Right Effort, Mindfulness and Right Concentration.
7 / He will be able to become a better person as before.
Buddhism is a way of transforming suffering. All we can be dominated by negative emotions and negative mental harassment or not dominated, guilty or not guilty, but by applying the aforementioned methods of education in the life of every day, we can harvest the fruits of peace and happiness right here and now in the present life. The best solution is prevention rather than intervention. And education should be done before punished. Because a good cause will create a good effect.
It is a fact that throughout the Buddhist scriptures. Buddhism has a strong stance against killing in general, and in some cases against the death penalty.
Thus, the Buddha absolutely not accept death penalty. No devout Buddhists should support the death penalty. But we should understand that the teachings of Buddhism is not dogmatic, which is the fruit of wisdom. They are simply advice from the Buddha to explain clearly why we should not be killing ..., largely grounded in ethics and related to the law of karma.
Buddhist stance against the death penalty based on the foundation of Buddhist philosophy and also correspond to the reality of society.
First of all, there is the possibility that the death penalty in the legal system of the issuing nations may lead to injustice done to innocent people, and this happens in many advanced countries, such as United period ... The death penalty, once done, is irreversible and can not be repaired if the defendant was later proven to be innocent.
Second, Buddhism feeling that everyone is basically good leg, and the main purpose of Buddhism is to educate, transform and reform and not to destroy. If someone is sick, Buddhism who tries to get rid of the disease rather than destroy infected person. Buddhists see the criminals who have mental problems associated with ignorance (ignorance).
Thus, the main aim of Buddhism is to eradicate ignorance rather than stupidity kill people. This can be done through the education system, metabolism, or the reform, in other words, help her to see things as they really are.
In Buddhism, there is a saying: "It is better to build proper steps as toys, not saved by doing good for someone."
In summary, based on the fundamental teachings of the Buddha from the Buddhist scriptures and the generous and enlightened mind of the Buddhist kings in ancient Asian history as mentioned above, we are in complete agreement call center support to the leaders of countries in the world are just applying the death penalty abolished this punishment in the spirit of boundless compassion of Buddhism.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENGLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/3/2014.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
