Story time... There is an old Buddhist story that comes from Japan.

A samurai came to a monk and said in a harsh authoritarian tone, "Monk, teach me about Heaven and Hell!"

The monk looked him over and laughed saying, "You? You want me to teach you? Look at you. Your sword is rusty your robes are a mess. What makes you think I could teach you, of all people, about Heaven and Hell?

That samurai got pissed! No one ever talks to a samurai like that! The nerve of this little fucker! So the samurai drew out his sword and swung it at the monk. He stopped right at the monks neck when he realized that the monk would not flinch.

The monk looked at the samurai and said, "That is hell."

The samurai's eyes got huge! IT dawned on him that this monk would sacrifice his life to give him this teaching.

The samurai realized the monk's bravery and started to cry in gratitude. The monk put his hand on the samurai's shoulder and said, "And that is heaven."

Punjab Government aka Badal and sons have said no to the hanging in Punjab.  

The Punjab Government has refused to hang Bhai Sahib in Punjab as it does not want the trouble on its doorstep. It has said it does not have the judiciary power to hold the hanging. In the message relayed back to the Court and Chandigarh adminisration, the Punjab Government has asked them to have the hanging in Chandigarh which os outside Punjab!! Also this may result in nothing but a delay of the hanging whilst Bhai Balwant Singh ji Rajoana continues to be imprisoned!! This breaking news is good news but not the end all...The Battle to save Bhai Sahib Continues...Please do not let the momentum break!! Stay United continue to contact your local MP's and MEP's to raise awareness of the Indian Human Rights abuses!!
