ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า

To this question the Buddha answered, "Bhikkhus, the sotapannas do not kill, they do not wish others to get killed. The wife of the hunter was only obeying her husband in getting things for him. Just as the hand that has no wound is not affected by poison, so also, because she has no intention to do evil she is not doing any evil." Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows: paniimi cē vanō na assa hareyyā panana visam na papam anvēti natthi abbanam akubbatō 6) If there is no wound on the hand, one may handle poison; poison does not affect one who has no wound; there can be no evil for one who has no evil intention. PROTECTIVE INNOCENCE The hand that has no wound, can handle any poison, since poison cannot enter an intact unwounded hand. Even & exactly so is the innocent protected from all evil. 68 Millionaire Heirs
