However, aside from fanatics, what is wrong is wrong from any angle. Although Mahayana Buddhism relativizes everything with the theory of nothingness, we have to understand that a group of beings led by Maitreya were all demons. Most of beings people on the earth worship are devils or demons at best and the teachings they provide to control the heavenly world and earthly world are religions. To sum it up, religions on the earth are means to control this world including spirit world, and they are far from the truth. Leaders of Mahayana Buddhism seem to have called such false teachings the wisdom of *Upaya and believed themselves the wise who had achieved **Prajna and have considered themselves above every law including karma.
This is the very height of stupidity but this has been accepted among people who are slaves for authority.
This, however, is not accepted by people who can accurately determine what is right.
Well, let me get back to the incident, I wonder how they feel in their heart, with the exception of their sophistry. It is unthinkable that peaceful mind resulted in such incident. I don’t need to explain that wicked heart such as anger, jealousy, lust for control or lust for fame is the real truth of this incident. In other words, we have to work hard to let go of desires and free ourselves of filthy heart, that is, to obtain inner peace. If real religion teaches how to achieve such goal, I don’t deny it. However, if so, worship or order should be alien to it.

A very gruesome incident took place in the
state of Haryana, India. Parents
punished her daughter who fell in love with a “common man” and ran away with
him to New Delhi.
The woman’s parents lied
to take them home, tortured them for several hours and killed two of them. According to the Times of
India, their 18-year-old daughter Nidhi was beaten to
death and her boyfriend was beheaded.
The police arrested two suspects, who are
her father Billu and his wife Reeta living in Gharnavati village in the state
of Haryana. It is reported that the two suspects admitted the allegations but showed no
remorse toward what they had done.
The two claimed that their daughter dishonored
the family. Her mother reportedly
says, “If all people act like us, there would not be
such disobedience to the Laws.”
It is unknown what penalty will be given to
the suspects. Although “honor killing”
cases repeatedly occur in India, the police cannot do anything.
