How do you guys quote other people's posts? i can't find any
function to do that.
AEN,
Wow, you mean your master attained Buddhahood. I thought the
mara daughters who come down to stop those who are on the verge of
complete enlightenment. Who is your master, any teachings to
read?
-----------
We, because we are practising buddhists, can take the
dancers as illusion, as mara's daughters, as anything. Now only
worry is it cause Buddha's image to be downgraded in the eyes of
others who dun know better. It's realy for benefit of the
greater masses that these things be avoided. It cause much
suffering in the world, when the general respect for Buddha drop
too, it cause general level of merit of beings to drop and
therefore will have more problems and less happiness.
Therefore Buddhists always have responsibility to uphold the
dharma. Uphold not just mean teach the dharma, it means other
things like set good example, and also try to give good impression
of Buddhism and also help more beings. So i find Sri Lankans not
wrong in principle, just wrong in action and maybe too emotional,
haha...

I agree with you that we Buddhists should show our unhappiness
in a peaceful manner. If we were to keep quiet about it, these
people will carry too far. We Buddhists are non violence but we are
not voiceless and no push over.
