The Buddha says a donation is something that is yours to give, given freely. That makes sense, doesn't it?
So how about a political donation? If you are ordered to give it, and it's not your money but something that your boss pilfered from company funds and told you to deliver to the company's preferred politician, would the Buddha approve?
Right now the Buddha is seriously frowning on the DJP's Chairman Ozawa.
He accepted money from a major construction firm in the guise of donations from employees who were reimbursed for their generosity by their boss--from company funds.
Okinawa Looks Like This
Peaceful: a beautiful place for a walk
自己紹介
- Chura
- Born and raised in the USA (NJ), I’ve spent most of my adult life in Japan. One of my favorite places in Japan is Okinawa. To me, Okinawa is a land of stories and an island of music, magic and mystery. The music is shima-uta, songs sung to the rhythm of a three-stringed lute called a sanshin. The magic is in the colors of land, sea and sky. The mystery? Mystery begins where the line between legend and verifiable human memories begins to blur. I am a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, chapter chief of a sanshin study society, and a founding member of the Marine Culture Research Association of Okinawa.
