The ancients said, "The prodigal son never changes his money." The Buddhist scriptures say, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha."

The above two famous sayings tell us that any wicked person is welcome as long as he breaks the evil and repairs the good and turns over a new leaf. Moreover, once the perpetrator really turns back, he will be more sincere and diligent in doing good, because he has sincere repentance.

Therefore, the wicked can recite Buddhism without discrediting Buddhism.
