There is a helpful image in the Ratnakuta Sutra. A man throws a clod of earth at a dog. The dog looks at the clod and barks at it furiously. The dog does not realize that it is the man and not the clod of earth that is responsible.
What a terrible story. Again, Buddha and Buddhists reach to the most terrible examples.
I'm betting the guy who threw the clod of earth at the dog was Buddha. What an asshole.
