Talk:Ahimsa

I think the quote from Larry Wall is a bit misplaced here. it is supposed to be "Ahinsa" not "Ahisma".
I don't have time to edit this right now, but just for the record, I don't think that "Ahimsa is the core of Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism." While ahimsa is important to some parts of these traditions, Jainism is the only tradition that I think it could be reasonably argued (maybe) that has ahimsa at the core. As for Hinduism and Buddhism, while it is important in some parts of the tradition, I can't imagine it being considered to be at the "core" of these two traditions, given how widely they vary.
