Such as those forced to marry their own cousins, and the poor within the western region who can't afford health care etc., using the elements of the puff fish to sedate their daughters who will not work or marry a relative locking them in ground cellars and pandering them against their will and hooking them to human chains if the girls attempt to escape and the police will just return them to this. Dude, the thought of being in state of Nirvana is great, but this entire issue is deep. Asia is famous for its various flowers such as the famous purple Tulip. China is also famous for its tech., innovations, however, is this necessary. I mean can't a family find another way to get health care, and [id] technology has augmented to where they shouldn't have to depend on a son or daughter to provide for them as in the age of the Dragon. China is not some undeveloped country to have to treat people this way. Are these beliefs worth preserving is the question. Don't get me wrong, meditation and Nirvana is great, but how can you enjoy Nirvana with your daughter locked in a cellar because she don't wanna marry her cousin or uncle? Has the need for health care distorted reason masked with a fight for a religion. Notice that the news never specify what denomination of Buddhism is having the conflict, they just say Buddhist.
