Ritual, images and magical beliefs have always been part of Theravada Buddhism, not a later corruption or Brahmanical taint. With its emphasis on absolute obedience and the stamping out of individuality, Theravada Buddhism directly influenced the nightly "criticism and self-criticism" sessions in which peasants confessed their daily unrevolutionary acts and pointed out others' shortcomings, systematically breaking down all ties to the personal and the private. In Theravada Buddhism, monks shouldn't kill animals, but they can eat them if they don't see or hear the killings. |
