I was recently listening to a talk, and one of the things said (in a nutshell) was that in Buddhism, there is no such thing as "evil", but rather delusion/stupidity...and even then there are no inherently stupid people, but only that there are some people who do stupid things. How does this explain things which are labeled evil such as serial killing or acts of terrorism?
