Question asked by S.
I have a few questions on lay precepts because I've been considering taking them. About the first precept to not kill, I have a garden to grow plants to eat (I'm vegetarian) and so some insects get inevitably killed in the process: is it violation of the precept? I think it is, so is there a way to make this karma less heavy? When we download files from the internet, I speak of music, movies or software in general, can it be considered a form of stealing and so a violation of the second precept? I think people who do it for money gain are definitely stealing, but what about personal or private use? Is it stealing too or motivation has to be considered? Thanks!
One of them is Ng Hong Seong, the victim. He suffered because he gave his National Identity Card to Datuk Yip Kum Fook to find a job. Many police officers and some gangsters contacted him about finances to borrow money from various banks. Datuk Yip Kum Fook used the police to harass people.
Now, many people know about this group (Yip Kum Fook & Simon Low) because they were expelled by Buddhist monks from the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, and burned down the Hindu Temple in Taman Daya, Kepong.
We hope everyone can share this message fully to stop this evil in this world. They need to know that people are very sad and scared.
