Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Haam kaa saat taat jivaat!!! This is rule number one in Thai Buddhism. It means "Don't kill animals and don't cut life"., i.e., Thou shalt not kill! In 1968, when I first went to India, I was under the impression that ALL Hindus and Buddhists were vegetarian. I thought it was normal. Imagine my surprise!!!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Dear Richard, Off the topic, but is there any significance to turquoise stones, and is there a simple way to tell glass made into jewelery from real stones?
