He goes to hell,
the one who asserts
what didn't take place,
as does the one
who, having done,
says, "I didn't."
Both—low-acting people—
there become equal:
after death, in the world beyond.
-Dhammapada 306, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Peace and Love

It simply means don't tell lies.
"The one who assets what didn't take place"
- Saying something happened when it didn't
"As does the one who having done, says, 'I didn't'."
- Doing something then saying it wasn't you.
"Both—low-acting people— there become equal:"
They are grouped together with other liers as equals in Hell.

Buddha and the fictitious Christ seem to have lots in hardship-loose, and, in the event that they have been ever to fulfill, i'm specific might get on. BTW, often hardship-loose floor interior the element of religion is a robust element - not constantly - yet customarily. Kuma Edit: Heaven and Nirvana at the instant are not the comparable. i'm not conscious that any of the theistic religions also have a thought coming near Nirvana. in spite of the shown fact that, there are Buddhist heavens and hells, so there is hardship-loose floor there. There are some differences in view, evidently, in spite of the shown fact that curiously that those differences could be a sturdy beginning factor for communicate. One distinction is that the Buddhist heavens are short-term whilst the Theists ones are eternal. As for me the only issues i be responsive to approximately heaven I found out in a woman's hands. Kuma

Hell for a Buddhist is being trapped inside the wheel of reincarnation with its ongoing rebirth until the awareness of the Brahman is self actualized. Very irrational and unmerciful for the lack of memory of sins from a previous life but still held accountable. This makes life a very sad state of affairs. And how did the "Godhead" become so fragmented to begin with that it now has to strive till all life returns to an all encompassing nirvana?

I wholeheartedly agree. A lie is a lie. There's no difference between denying the truth and fabricating events.

As a quote it is a good one. I can appreciate it for the worth and value of it as it's saying that both are lying. If it's continual, without remorse, and intentional , it won't be forgiven........

It is wonderful and speaks of those who believe in propaganda as well as those who deny their responsibility for actions taken being equal in their duplicity regardless of their rationalizations.
