Educated people who have no wisdom and compassion are known to have no wisdom and compassion are known to have abused their intelligence by adopting evil means to achieve their ambitions or desires. Because of the application of dry intellect and technology, we face greater problems and threat today than had been faced by our ancestors in the past. All over the world people are fighting each other. Buddhism teaches us that killing for any reason is unjustifiable. It is worse when people fight and kill in the name of religion.
Meditation can contribute a lot to tame the wicked mind.
By knowing that good and evil are both in our mind. We should watch our every thought very carefully and act mindfully. We must try to find out the nature of the thoughts which appear in the mind. Examining the thoughts that appear is in itself an act of meditation. When the conscious 'I' frets too much, worries too much, or grieves too long and too intensely, then troubles develop in the body.
