Question : (Unedited)
what does buddhism say about evil in the world?... why is there evil in the world?
My comments:
Hi T,
It is in the first Noble Truth..."that existence is unsatisfactory" (Dukkha)
It is the very nature of this world...everything is impermanent, everything is unsatisfactory because of this impermanence, and everything is a reflection of the true nature of this existence which is of no substance. These are the three characteristics of existence : impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, insubstantiality (Anicca, Dukkha, Anatta).
It is just like asking the following questions:
Why do all the hospitals have sick people?
Why do all jails have prisoners?
Smile from justinchoo :-)
