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.

I feel so bad for Halyna’s family. She was from Ukraine!
Yeah...he’s a Democrat.
Does Buddhism say anything about assholes?
Wrong again Quickdraw
“You must not have any other god but me.”
Exodus 20:3 NLT
I guess Baldwin won’t need to take a vow of poverty after the wrongful death and the defamation lawsuits.
He should be experiencing extreme anal pain while on his knees scrubbing a urinal in the LA Jail right now.
“You must not have any other god but me.”
Exodus 20:3 NLT”
And there it is... I saw that coming. Baldwin + Buddhism = Satanic cult. Buddha is not considered a God, simply a wise teacher of wisdom. Buddhism is an education not a religion. Before judging you must first have some true knowledge. Baldwin is not the spokesman or representative for all Buddhism.
I figured he’d be more of a follower of L. Ron Hubbard than a Hairy Krishna
Like a lot of non believers in Christ...he picked a false God to fit HIS narrative.
Very lost IMO.
Every photo,I have seen of her she has that phone in her face. Gee she must be a blast,to tRy to have a conversation With
***Hairy Krishna***
Those fools used to, in the 1970s, infest the airports in the US! You could not walk a concourse without them pestering you trying to sell you books or get donations.
The Beatles fell for the Hairy Krishna schtick. Try listening to their song “My Sweet Lord”. you will hear the “Hairy Krishna” mantra in it.
I think she’s videoing the journos/ paparazzi. Or maybe hoping to get some video of Alec getting his ass kicked. That’d be worth good money.
2nd Timothy 4:3, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.”
A sin to even bow to an image- also,a sin to sacrifice to,them
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
well, he dresses like a bum so he must save a ton on clothes
Alec is getting religion?
Little late...
Could be I suppose. My ex sil was married to her phone and computer- no time for anyone but people on social,media and on the other end of the phone. Even when we all woild go out to eat, same thing, talking with someone on the phone. Guess she found us all boring or somehting
Thought it’d be fun to search your post... here’s the first return:
Why are Buddhists such assholes?

Some people are nuts. Sounds like serious passive aggression. I remember a stupid show in which a married couple was fighting because he wanted to go fishing, but she wouldn’t let him because she wanted him to stay home and watch her play solitaire on the computer.
