I don't have time to watch this right now, but it looks like it's worth a watch. My fiancée and I visited Cambodia last year, and one is certainly reminded of death and evil there wherever one goes.

In this programme put out by Witness on Al Jazeera the whole gamut of Karma, revenge, justice and forgiveness is covered at all levels of complexity from the level of practice that culminates in wisdom to priestly formularies. http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/witness/2009/09/2009965570950780.html Amod:

Some Buddhists, especially in East Asia, will take "Buddha-nature" or some other positively valued quality and put it at the heart of existence, and then they sound a lot like Advaitins.

I posit that this amounts to the same mental space. I guess what matters is the actual practice of mind instead of the the philosophy.
