I don't think you understand the concept of Nirvana, it is not a place but a state of mind. You might like to consider some of the 10 immoralities (sort of like the 10 commandments they list forbidden things), one says: "The desire to harm others", another is "The taking of life of any living being". I am not a Buddhist BTW, although I do have meditation classes at a centre. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Larry C.
