I thought that as a 300th thread this would be a great topic to discuss...
What is dharma's position on 'evil' in men? We all know that we have evil thoughts...we all know people that have had those thoughts or even acted on those thoughts.
What's the cause of these evil thoughts and actions?
In christianity for example they say 'devil made me do it' what do dharma adherents say? 'my karma made me do it?'
Is there a force that is at play in the universe that is opposite to what we consider 'good'? What about asuras and devas...are asuras responisbile for these evil forces and thoughts? Are the persons acting in an 'evil' way born with asuric nature? Can this nature be changed or is it inherent from the source and is unchangeble?
What the different viewpoints of dharma schools?
