More news on Hun Xen

I found it hard to believe

Could it be because of the U.S.'s Human Rights report?

Or because of his horrible nightmare?

Not sure if Hun Xen knows about the five precepts. He can learn two of them from me for now. I will teach him the other three when he’s getting better at these two.

Two of five Buddhist precepts 

1. Do not Kill One must not deliberately kill any living creatures, either by committing the act oneself, instructing others to kill, or approving of or participating in act of killing. It is a respect to others' lives.

One should not deprive others (animals not excluded) of the right to live. If one is hurt or killed, one's family, relatives, friends will suffer. It is the cause of rebirth in Three Evil Paths. The effect of killing to the performer are brevity of life, ill health, handicapped and fear. In observing the first precept, one tries to protect life whenever possible. Furthermore, one cultivates the attitude of loving kindness to all beings by wishing that they may be happy and free from harm.

 2. Do not Steal It is a respect to other's properties and the right to own property. If something is not given, one may not take it away by stealing, by force or by fraud. Besides these, one should avoid misusing money or property belonging to the public or other persons.
