Yes the Buddhist Oath is laughable, is...Hong Lien,<br /><br />Yes the Buddhist Oath is laughable, isn't it? I am not damning any of my incarnations throughout eternity. It's not fair. What if I was a perjurer in a past life and that is why I have been punished with becoming a lawyer?<br /><br />And actually, I am referring only to Qld law. Australia is, like the US, a federation and so each of the 6 states and 2 territories (don't anyone mention Jervis Bay) can have their own laws. I suspect that the other states are similar to Qld, however, as we tend to be the slow state.Oanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005515006491660673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9516277.post-48719796345821990952006-10-29T07:35:00.000+00:002006-10-29T07:35:00.000+00:00Those are interesting oaths indeed. Unfortunately...Those are interesting oaths indeed. Unfortunately, in the US, while we can affirm testimony, whether or not you may swear and oath on anything but a bible is up to state law and so it is different depending on where you are. Although, I have to say the Buddhist oath made me laugh out loud. Maybe whenever I have some karmic bad luck I can blame it a past life where I might have broken this oath.honglien123https://www.blogger.com/profile/04664865503830892153noreply@blogger.com
