If they do any destruction on his festival day, we too do some major destruction
in a kovil or in a church, or both, on one of their festival days.
I think nobody will disagree with me.

| Yes, LTTE may plant bombs to irritate Buddihist community during the vesak season. Every body must be vigilent to minimize such attacks. |

Wick:
I am not agree with you. We must value all our properties equally, whether it is a church or mosque or temple. Our Lord Buddha stated, 'Nahee verani verani...'. We must treat such people with peace. That is the lesson we can give to the other religions during this significant vesak season.

Ok! my friend. Just try and see. Do not forget that we are dealing with terrorists. 'Nahee verena verani...'dose not applicable to terrorists. That much I know.
The only applicable word is 'Jihad' when dealing with Tamil terrorist.

It is inappropriate to 'urge'. People already are aware and most of us are protected by our personal karma rather than any armed force. Lord Buddha will protect his devotees. Anyone who harms genuine devotees bring down terrible karma upon themselves

Saliya,
Just now a bomb exploded in Colombo Fort. 79 people injured and 9 people dead.
Saliya you preach 'Nahee verena vranee..'
Are we having more idiots like you, who abhor revange.
My opinion is no Tamil should be treated humanly.

Load Buddha will protect his devotees
What this woman is preaching? Is this woman gone mad?
For your information Load Buddha is no more and he can t protect any body.
Do not try to preach Buddhism, which you do not know. Preach something you know, something like terrorism.

Wick,
You have not aswered my questions. My questions were:
Where has the Buddha preached about excluding terrorists? Also where has the Buddha preached about Jihad being applicable to terrorists?
This was in response to your claim that Nahee verani was not applicable to terrorists and that Jihard was applicable to terrorists.
Your purpoted answer to saliya which you also claim answered my questions were:
Just now a bomb exploded in Colombo Fort. 79 people injured and 9 people dead.
Saliya you preach 'Nahee verena vranee..'
Are we having more idiots like you, who abhor revange.
My opinion is no Tamil should be treated humanly.

Are you saying that is the answer to my questions also?
If so it is a 'yanney koheda malley pol' kind of answer making it obvious that you are prevaricating and avoiding a direct answer for obvious reasons that you cannot show where the Gauthama Buddha has preached that Nahee verani is not applicable to terrorists and that jihard is what is applicable to terrorist.
May be if and when you attain enlightenment and become 'Wick Buddha' you could preach that way!
As according to what I know the Gauthama Buddha has not preached anywhere that Nahee Verani is not applicable to terrorists and that it is Jihard that is applicable to terrorists!
Nahee Verani is a philosophical principle which has universal applicability and one cannot pick and choose when it shall be applicable and when it will not be applicable. That is according to what the Buddha preached.
The Buddha may not have known the LTTE and VP but he certainly has mentioned about Devadaththa and Angulimaala.
Also it was the Buddha who preached Nahee Verani and not saliya!
Wick, you have insulted the Gauthama Buddha when you say
Are we having more idiots like you, who abhor revange
Since you can even disrespect the Buddha, why don't you just say, to hell with the Buddha's Nahee Verani, as indirectly you are suggecting that isn't it?
