At the advice of the sage Jayosmayatana, youthful Sudhana, the merchant’s son, went to request instructions from King Anala on the bodhisattva deeds. The king happened to be carrying out his judicial duties and was seated upon a huge throne ornamented by precious stones.
Ten thousand ministers and executioners who were as terrifying as hell guardians were meting out punishments such as gouging out eyes and cutting off arms and legs. Upon witnessing that, Sudhana thought, ‘This King Anala is devoid of spiritual virtue; he creates nothing but misdeeds. How can he have the instructions on the bodhisattva deeds?’
When he gave rise to that doubt, the gods in the sky spoke, ‘Do you not remember the instructions of the sage Jayosmayatana?’ Sudhana then circumambulated the king three times and the king led him into the palace.
The king explained, ‘I have attained the bodhisattva’s play of illusory liberation. Since most of the people residing in my country engage in various nonvirtues, by displaying emanated executioners who kill emanated victims, these residents will come to fear misdeeds and feel remorse.’

Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. Multiple pro-Kremlin media figures circulated the post's false claims, including prominent Russian journalist Vladimir Soloviev and the state-controlled Russian outlet RT, according to the DFR Lab's report.
