Buddhist Vegetarian Leafletting, SF, April 27-29

[Guest guest]

Dalai Lama will be in San Francisco, this coming Fri-Sun, April 27-29. Thousands of Buddhists will be going to see him. I will be handing out leaflets asking Buddhists to become vegetarians. Would you like to help promote vegetarianism? It will take a relatively small effort, and could have a big impact.Dalai Lama & Karmapa (another highly respected Tibetan teacher) recently asked Buddhists to stop eating meat, or at least reduce their meat eating. Most Buddhists have not heard about this. We are going to tell them. When they hear about his message, some of them will stop eating meat.Dalai Lama made a speech to Tibetans last year, in which he asked them to reduce their meat consumption, and to stop the trade in wild animal furs. I've asked translators to translate this speech into English. A couple of them have agreed to work on it, so that Dalai Lama's message can be in the leaflet.Things are changing. Young Tibetans in the exile community have started organizations to promote animal rights and vegetarianism. They have opened Tibetan vegetarian restaurants in India. Thousands of Tibetans have gone vegetarian, including some monks.Can leafletting influence people? Yes. Vegetarian activists say that every time they hand out literature at college campuses, shopping areas, and events, some people decide to become vegetarians.This is a great opportunity to spread the vegetarian message. You can help animals, people and the earth.Contact me to help with leafletting.Pass this message along to any Buddhists and/or vegetarians you think may be interested.This activism is an official BayAreaVeg.org event, and is on the event calendar. Most of the people who have responded are BAVeg members.Info for activists RawVeg.info/BuddhistVegActivismInfo for Buddhists RawVeg.info/BuddhistVegetarianThank you.Jordan RothsteinRawVeg.infoBodyTechnician.comFundRaisin.info
