| Chapter 4 : the two types of men 01 As to the heated man in the temple, 02 he is like a tree growing {indoors}, (only) 03 a moment lasts its growth of {shoots}, (and) 04 its end comes about in the {woodshed}, (or) 05 it is floated far from its place, 06 the flame is its burial shroud. 07 The truly silent, who keeps apart, 08 he is like a tree grown in a meadow. 09 it greens, it doubles its yield, 10 it stands in front of its Lord, 11 its fruit is sweet, its shade delightful, 12 its end is reached in the garden. |

| I am absolutely opposed to the death penalty. My predecessor abolished it in Tibet. Today I find it unbelievable that it persists in large countries like China and India. They still kill people in the name of justice in the country of Mahatma Gandhi! In the very land where the Buddha taught! The death penalty is pure violence, a barbaric and useless violence. Dangerous even, because it can only lead to other acts of violence - as all violence does. The supreme punishment ought to be a life sentence, and one without brutality. |
