“As a Buddhist, he told me, he knew that it didn’t really matter, if I passed away but he thought it would be bad for business.” Comment.

These apparently cruel comments by Tsetan are not at all cruel from the Buddhist point of view. Buddha says that life is full of sorrow and so one should not worry much about death. However, Tsetan was a taxi driver too. It would not help if any one who travelled by his car dies soon after the journey. He therefore, says that the author’s death would be bad for business.
