Quote.
'The Buddha stressed that the work we choose, how we sustain ourselves, is central to living ethical life.
Within the eightfold path is right livehood, the teaching that one's work should be compatible with sound moral principles and should cause no harm.
In a less complicated world 2,600 years ago, the Buddha listed five livehoods he considered unethical: trading in weapons, human beings, meat, intoxicants, and poison.'
-- Quoted from 'Buddhadharma' magazine, article by Konda Mason, Fall 2018.

i've started scientific project for a buddhist woman i love, and for Lama Ole Nydahl.
Parts of this project are fairly innocent tools, and other parts are too much weaponry.
i am considering to cease production of the more dangerous parts, because i fear that resulting bad karma will stand in the way of love.
