This tolerance policy prevailed in eleventh to early thirteenth centuries under the Ly dynasty, and was expressed through edicts of exemption from reducing taxes, declaring amnesty and reduction of sentences. They are guilty due to their lack of knowledge. I am full of pity for them. From now on, howsoever serious or light a guilt may be, the sentence should be reduced. Nowadays Vietnam is practising renovation and developing the market economy in the situation of peace and stability inside the country and the boom of the information revolution over the world.
Stability is the basic condition for healthy and sustainable development.
Social stability requires, first, the stability in each person, or in other words the peace in one s mind. Still does not mean motionless, immobile or frozen, but rather a state of equilibrium and harmony. Equilibrium implies inner motion of each element sharing the structure. And the harmony of something is the way in which the parts of it are combined into a suitable and desirable arrangement. Equilibrium and harmony bring about force, just as the practising of Buddha s teachings gives us peace in our minds.
