p.172:
ahimsa as a character of dharma - also in the West, but is not practised:
   But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil : but whosoever shall smite
   thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will
   sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke
   also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
