Commit Quote by Bodhidharma

“Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesnt exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isnt wrong. Such persons fall into a hell of endless darkness with no hope of release. Those who are wise hold no such conception”
