What one thinks about karma and rebirth certainly addresses what one thinks is going on in any given situation (not just the present situation between Buddhists and Muslims) and shapes how one will approach thinking and acting about it (including how and why one collects info on something).Aloka wrote:Ok, so "what if" they were all caterpillars and Blue-Tits in past lives - I'm baffled as to how that addresses the present situation between Buddhists and Muslims, or indeed, the actual OP #1.
That's right, mainly because it's being under reported. I feel it's important we know what's happening with the Sangha and our Dharma friends around the world. If you want to debate or natter about the political and philosophical implications of these events, you should start a new thread.binocular wrote:You're just "Looking for more info on Muslim violence against Buddhists" ...mettafuture wrote:That's for Buddhists to decide.
