[Buddha-l] A New Crime

[Bernie Simon]

 From Sri Lanka:

"A two year jail term or a fine of Rs. 100,000 is to be imposed on 
those found guilty of misusing the image of the Lord Buddha. These 
penalties are included in the Buddha Sasana Bill to be presented in 
parliament soon.

"The use, display, printing, manufacture, sale or distribution of a 
picture of the Lord Buddha or figures similar to a picture of the Lord 
Buddha, statues or Buddhist sign or signs relating to Buddhism in a 
manner that disgraces the Buddha Sasana will be an offence."

Certain fashion designers should arrange their vacation plans 
accordingly.
