Re: General Question
I would second that your question doesn't make sense and sounds strange. Maybe someone can help you with your English?

Re: General Question
Only a guess, but I think he is saying some of Buddha's followers were threatened with death, yet escaped.
Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.
Re: General Question
If you are referring to the 500 hundred monks (Arahants) who met at the first council to preserve the Buddha's teachings, then i am not aware of them being threatened or escaped from killing.
And the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: "Behold now, bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive with earnestness!"
This was the last word of the Tathagata.
