There is disagreement among Buddhists as to whether or not Buddhism forbids the death penalty. The first of the Five Precepts (Panca-sila) is to abstain from destruction of life. Chapter 10 of the Dhammapada states:


Everyone fears punishment; everyone fears death, just as you do. Therefore do not kill or cause to kill. Everyone fears punishment; everyone loves life, as you do. Therefore do not kill or cause to kill.


Chapter 26, the final chapter of the Dhammapada, states, "Him I call a brahmin who has put aside weapons and renounced violence toward all creatures. He neither kills nor helps others to kill." These sentences are interpreted by many Buddhists (especially in the West) as an injunction against supporting any legal measure which might lead to the death penalty.

Wait till your loved ones become drug addict and caused problem to the whole family. By then, tell me if you think drug traffickers should die.

I find this recent debate quite funny leh.

They dont want Mandatory death penalty bec they say judge got no choice but to sentence death.

But this brit author say judges are inconsistent and death does not always result.

Isnt that what they wanted? Flexibility?

Prata man should just shut them up by pardoning him and see what complaint they have now.
