| Abstract: | Indian Buddhist sources speak of five sins of immediate retribution:
murder of mother, father, an arhat, drawing the blood of a buddha, and
creating a schism in the monastic community. This category provides the
paradigm for sinfulness in Buddhism. Yet even these sins can and will, be
expiated in the long run, demonstrating the overwhelmingly positive nature of
Buddhist ethics |
