In too many ... ( 1 year ago by judyatpalmetto)
In too many countries today we are divided by religion, it has become a poison upon the people. We must learn to live together in love and peace with tolerance. We must learn to live and let live, to respect eachother no matter who we pray to. We are going thru same feelings in America, will we soon fight eachother again? What will we have won, except more karma. I pray for peace for your country and for the pain and suffering of the world. Peace not war, that is the answer my friends

i am a sinhala i know exactly what's happening there i dont need anyone else telling me this. what i am saying is if someone attacks you, do you attack them back? if someone kills you mother, do you kill their mother? the Buddha teaches us that revenge is wrong and unjust. This is exactly what both sides are doing.
