Have you ever hurt Buddhists’ heart?
Understand it before they view you as a criminal
You may think you can do anything within the law but problems are still rising in families. You may hurt them but they may forgive you because they love you. You may hurt your friends but they may forgive you because they love you.
But what will happen if you hurt someone who does not love you? They may be angry. They may hate you or even try to hurt or kill you. It’s you who start all of it. And it’s you who must reap what you sow and face up to the consequences of your actions.
I am not trying to fix you.
I am trying to help you because I am caring for you!
Playing with fire is a bad idea but playing with people’s belief is worse.
Buddhists may gracious enough to ignore your actions but they may view you as criminal already. “Bad guys”, that’s what they think.
What do you think about this?
The heads of The Buddha is beautiful. People love to have them as decoration. Some are big sculptured stones placing in front of the house.
You may think it’s cool but try to change perspective. If your neighbor does the same but sculptured stones are not the Buddha’s head. What do you feel if you see your head, your family’s heads, your friends’ head, your ancestors’ heads and the head of whoever you love? The owner may view them as art but it does more look like being massacred.
Some sinful robbers in Thailand love to make money with the Buddha’s heads. They go to temples at night to cut the heads of Buddha statues which are older than their great-grandparents. Buddhists have been paying homage to the Buddha statue for centuries but the statue ends up beheaded overnight.
Are you sure that to the one you own does not come from these sinful people? Although the one you own is not the same thing, having it as a decoration is the same as looking down on the Buddha and Buddhists.
It’s the same as the Buddha image that shows in a disrespected manner, the game that has the Buddha as a character or using the Buddha as a mascot or decoration for products. These are improper.
The world is rotten but please do not make it rotter.
Respect human right. Respect Buddhist right.
Share it if you care for people around you.
Share it if you want to heal the world.
Share it if you want the world to change.
Just one of your click can make the world better than before.
Thank you for your understanding.
