Alec Baldwin reflected on the Buddha's teachings of living a truthful life on Thursday, just hours after his role in the "Rust" shooting was called into question once again.

The 63-year-old actor took to his social media accounts on Thursday to share a reflective post which included a quote from the Buddha. He did not share the origin of the quote.

On Twitter, he quoted the Budda saying, "In the same way, Rahula, when anyone feels no shame in telling a deliberate lie, there is no evil, I tell you, they will not do. Thus, Rahula, you should train yourself, ‘I will not tell a deliberate lie, even in jest.’"

In a second post, he reflected: "In Buddhism, being truthful goes beyond simply not telling lies. It means speaking truthfully and honestly, yes. But it also means using speech to benefit others, and not to use it to benefit only ourselves."

Some on Instagram and Twitter reacted with some advice for the actor. Others placed blame on the actor for the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust," which left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead. Baldwin was the one holding the gun during rehearsals, but alleged in a sit-down televised interview in December that he did not pull the trigger.

"So you’re going to admit you pulled the trigger?" one person tweeted in response to Baldwin.

The actor's cryptic posts came hours after Matthew Hutchins, the husband of Halyna Hutchins, gave an interview to "Today" co-anchor Hoda Kotb, in which he said Baldwin has taken no responsibility for the shooting and has instead made claims as if he's the victim.

That was a neighbor’wife- she broke all her husband’s fishing poles when he went out once. He had to deliver some horses out a few states over and while,he was gone, she sold his motorcycle and snowmobile on him because she didn’t want him off riding while she was at home. (Funny thing though, she coild go off whenever she liked, which ws often)

He told me once when I was over there - she was on the computer and all you could see was the back of her head, and heaven forbid is you interrupted her. He said “that’s what I’m married to- the back of her head”.

Th3y are no longer married because she felt he “wasn’t paying enough attention to her” lol despite him never going anywhere or doing anything other than being In same room as her watching her on the computer or phone. He put up with that crap for 25 years, then she turns around and shacks up with another guy and accuses my friend of never having loved her

He’s a much happier person these days with a woman that actually loves him. The ex wife’s new hubby thouhg is in for a rude awakening soon most likely.

Sounds like a friend of mine. Still married, though. One year I loaned him a bow for hunting season. One day, he came home from fishing to find the bowstring was cut, and the arrows broken. He looked at her and told her it was mine. Priceless. She used to insist that he stay home and watch her sleep.

Religion?

I thought buddhism was a philosophy.
