"Sin" is not a Buddhist concept. Sin, to a Christian or similar, is to act contrary to the rules of a god usually set down in a sacred book or spouted by a hooligan. Buddhism has no god to set down such rules, no holy book filled with such rules and no holy men to enforce them. It is up to each individual to lead his life in reasonable compliance with the Eightfold Path, which is a set of suggestions for leading a more skillful life. Failure to do so does not condemn a person to hell but to another chance to do things better.
