The Executioner Behead a Prisoner
Before the execution, the primary swordsman drank a large amount of alcohol to calm himself.

So he ended up obstructing the path of the second swordsman who was raising his sword to administer a follow-up blow.
Some people believe that drinking a little alcohol socially or consuming wine for its health benefits should not go against the Buddhist five precepts. Is this accurate?

What is a definition of karma?
As a mother, I have taken great care in teaching my children about virtues, but children these days need to have good reasons. So they often would ask me a question in return concerning the standard one would use to measure good and bad?
