The Taliban destroyed the giant Buddha statues of Bamiyan, Afghanistan in 2001.
Watch how a Chinese millionaire couple recreate the ancient monument in June 2015.
From Afghanistan to the heart of Bangkok city where Buddha statues have been destroyed by bomb explosions, these incidents are outright proof that the words of the Buddha are veracious and deserves our prostration of reverence. In The Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Fundamental Vows, a renowned Buddhist sutra that is widely circulated, it is clearly stated that almost every stirring thought and intention of the sentient beings in Jambudvīpa has a karmic implication. This verse is one of mercy and compassion, reminding us to be very cautious of our every thought and intention, so that we will not be accumulating more negative karma, at the expense of exhausting our merits. That will cause us to fall into the never-ending cycle of the six realms of existence, with no way out of our suffering.
Do not misconstrue religion!
I had previously written an article, The True Essence of Religion, with the purpose of educating everyone on the right understanding of religion. With the Right View and Knowledge, you will not be swayed by people of ill-intentions and led away from the Path, away from Heaven but instead, towards an accelerated descent to Hell. That would be terrible, and a reversal of the natural order. Whether you believe in religion, are a religious fanatic, or not, it is all predestined and traces of this trait can be found in your birth chart. Should you have any worry or trouble concerning religion, or if you are at a crossroad of choosing a suitable religion, it will do you no harm to have your Destiny Analysis done.
Who are you destroying with your anger & ignorance?
History has taught us the horrors of destructive powers. It only takes a fire, a grenade or an earthquake to level magnificent monuments and buildings, constructed over a few centuries or almost a hundred years, to the ground. In a similar vein, the destructive anger from your ignorance, in a bid to seek revenge and frame your own benefactor, instead of showing gratitude for his or her kindness, will reduce your merits from this and many previous lifetimes to ashes, followed by your degeneration to the terrible evil rebirths, and it will be too late for any repentance. If you think that you are wise, why would you do such a foolish thing?
Joy, bliss, happiness, peace and freedom from anxiety and worry are built on the foundation of a benevolent heart, and definitely not on bitter violence and malicious destruction.
