“It is very difficult for people in our culture to imagine that it is possible to treat ourselves and others with complete respect no matter what previous crimes we or others have committed. Each person will get the results of these actions in the form of karmic consequences, which are manifested as feelings. The suffering produced is not there to punish but to teach. If people are treated with respect, they are much more likely to learn how to avoid the same mistakes in the future then if they are faced with judgment, punitive or vengeful attitudes.
