    King Asoka always fascinates me and is a good starting point to wonder if leaders can really live and rule ethically in the real world.

    Thank you, Bhante. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu. These presentations are quite absorbing. I lGoogled those sculpture gardens with the scenes from hell realms, and they seem to be a popular tourist attraction in Thailand and elsewhere. Personally, I prefer mini golf.

    06:30 were there really any "orthodox Hindus" at that time ? seems to me the Brahmanic tradition wasn't yet fully established in Eastern India at that time

    Sadhu sadhu sadhu.
    I find the various traditionally important numbers fascinating. Is the meaning lost of all of such numbers?
    I’ve read in some translations of sutta that very large numbers were used to give an impression of infinite. That the language of the time did not have such a word. And of course there are quite a few parables in the canon which convey the vastness of the infinite.
    The number 84,000 does seem very specific. Being 7x 12,000.

      @A. WRONG! That means the King sees the monks as representative of the Buddha Dhamma (Truth). Time for you to wake up from your WET dream with 72 wives from HELL as per Sunan Ibn Majah 4337, son.

      @@xXKillaBGXx to claim Buddha opposed animal sacrifice would need proof. Unfortunately there is no reliable proof of his teachings without Anandas and the only way to believe him is to believe his claims (advanced 3 levels of enlightenment from sitting to lying position, levitating from door to seat in 1st council meeting, materializing a being to testify on his behalf).
