Page "Ahimsa" Paragraph 11

According to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the doctrine of Ahimsa does not say " Kill not " it says, " Love all ".

Buddha said " Love all, so that you may not wish to kill any " This is a positive way of stating the principle of Ahimsa.

The Buddhas ' Ahimsa is quite in keeping with his middle path.

To put it differently, the Buddha made a distinction between Principle and Rule.

He did not make Ahimsa a matter of Rule.

He enunciated it as a matter of Principle or way of life.

A principle leaves you freedom to act.

A rule does not.

Rule either breaks you, or you break the rule.
