good one bill... merle Suresh,
Here's a possible response to your questions about suffering: "Master Po – Where is evil? In the rat whose nature it is to steal the grain. Or in the cat, whose nature it is to kill the rat? Caine – The rat steals. Yet, for him, the cat is evil. Master Po – And to the cat, the rat. Caine – Yet, Master, surely one of them is evil. Master Po – The rat does not steal, the cat does not murder. Rain falls, the stream flows, a hill remains. Each acts according to its nature. Caine – Then is there no evil for men? Each man tells himself that what he does is good, at least for himself. Master Po – . . . a man may tell himself many things but is a man's universe made up only of himself?" - from the TV series Kung Fu ...Bill! --- In [email protected], SURESH JAGADEESAN wrote: > > Dear all, > > "Buddhism teaches that it is due to Ignorance, Hatred, and Greed." > > Now if we take this case of Delhi rape, why was that 23 year old girl > had to suffer like this and die after 13 days of pain.
