thx kula

Sorry for my sarcasm, I realised being on a Time front cover does not measure the moral greatness of a man. I have read a thread at Audarya Fellowship that the Dalai Lama is not vegetarian. When I first met tibetan buddhists I was surprised at the time that their cookbook was mostly meat dishes.

As Hare Krsna people we have a moral compass that meat eating is wrong. The point I was hoping to bring out is that culturally many think differently. When I was young man I went toThailand in search of monastic life (buddhism). And presumed the country would be vegetarian also. How wrong was I! They ate alot of meat, insects, all sorts of things...

I still cant figure how a non-violet approach to life like buddhism can sit down at meal and eat meat!


From the link I posted it seems Hitler used to be a meat eater, and gradually changed to vegetarianism. But ofcourse the link I posted could be poorly researched.
