HE MUST BE CHARGED.

If the papist leegime don't charge him, then it
will prove to Singaporeans that they are
controlled by Christian Extremists just like
Al Qaeda is controlled by Muslim Extremists.

For far too often and too long this papist
leegime has allowed these Christian extremists
to unjustly attack other religions.
This is a good opportunity for them to
act to put a stop to these sorts of uncalled
for, undesirable and dangerous attacks.

In Buddhism, forgiveness is seen as a practice to prevent harmful
thoughts from causing havoc on one’s mental well-being.

Buddhism recognizes that feelings of hatred and ill-will leave a
lasting effect on our mind karma. Instead, Buddhism encourages the
cultivation of thoughts that leave a wholesome effect.

"In contemplating the law of karma, we realize that it is not a matter
of seeking revenge but of practicing metta and forgiveness, for the
victimizer is, truly, the most unfortunate of all. When resentments
have already arisen, the Buddhist view is to calmly proceed to release
them by going back to their roots.

Buddhism centers on release from delusion and suffering through
meditation and receiving insight into the nature of reality. Buddhism
questions the reality of the passions that make forgiveness necessary
as well as the reality of the objects of those passions. "If we
haven’t forgiven, we keep creating an identity around our pain, and
that is what is reborn. That is what suffers."
