@HotZetiGer, I think you missing the whole point. If a mass Murdered or a thief have except Buddha teching then he or she must serve their time behind bar or get a death penalty but 4 they die they must promise never to do that again & must show some remorse & ask forgiveness 4 the rest of their life & must follow Buddha teching forever & practice in peace,forgivenese,compassion,m­ercy,non violence, no killing of any kind & so on.

@HotZetiGer Again is nothing like Christian or Muslim at all. Christian & Muslim believe that just being a Christian or Muslim or except JesusChrist or Prophet Muhammad you will be free of all your past and present sins & be safe from going to Hell. Some Christian & Muslim Countries have used their religions to justified for going to wars for thousand of yrs now & have murdered hundred of millions of people around the world in the name of their God.

Buddha came in stood between mother n son. he chased her for the 1000th finger. she came out to warn him the king & his army were after him. as he saw the Buddha, he chased the Buddha instead. When he couldn't reach the Buddha (he was known to be very fast anyone he chased fell under his sword), they exchanged some words and he became his disciple. later he was known for Angulimala Sutta he chanted for a woman trying to give birth.

Anguli=fingers, mala=flowers - wore fingers like fliwers
