| Title: | | Discrimination: A Buddhist perspective |
| Date of publication: | | 17 August 2012 |
| Description/subject: | | "...The Pali Canon has a very strong and unequivocal teaching that mental attachment is extremely
detrimental – a biased view which asserts that people achieve freedom from suffering in any way other
than their conduct is a distorted and perverted view. It is a mental attitude that leads to a very
detrimental rebirth, and to pain and unhappiness in this life. It can be stated then with some certainty
that in the Pali Canon there is a very strong teaching that any form of discourse that proposes a racist
opinion is a wrong view, it will lead to suffering and, indeed, is dukkha itself.
Those holding such opinions will not only suffer in the future but are themselves an expression of
mental turmoil while holding such views. They are immersed in dukkha not metta." |
