Methodology for Realizing Avidyā or Ignorance in the Views of Mādhyamika and Yogācāra School

Abstract

The state had to manage the public services in order that the people in the state would not be foolish, would not assemble for unlawful purposes, would not suffer physically and mentally by being exploited by other people and to protect human beings and animals.

The roles of the state towards Buddhist Sangha were to support and to serve as the model for many people in the days after, to protect them from dangers and to send the government officials to look after and save the Buddhist Sangha.

The government officials had to perform their duties as assigned by their respective government offices and their works for the government as the whole were to teach Dhamma for sustaining peace and good living of the people.
