You know, Buddhism is a religion based on the principle of non-violence. So, almost no punishment system was established to discipline individuals for bad conduct. Instead, it was always trusting self-improvement, and one was responsible for their progress.
However, it was mentioned that a particular method of punishment was used in some rare cases, the ‘Brahma Dandana.’ These Pali words could roughly be translated as the ‘Noble Punishment.’
What does it even mean? How can punishment be noble, and how does it fit the non-violence framework of Buddhism?
