Leafleting at Dalai Lama talk, Berkeley, 2009-04-25

[Guest guest]

Dalai Lama will speak on Peace through Compassion, at Greek Theater in

Berkeley, Saturday April 25 at 2pm. When he spoke in SF in 2007 I made

leaflets saying that Dalai Lama advocates vegetarianism, and asking

Buddhists to stop eating animals. With the help of a few BAVeg

activists, 2,000+ leaflets were distributed.

 

When Karmapa (another prominent Tibetan Buddhist teacher, and a

vegetarian) taught in Seattle last year, I made leaflets telling

Buddhists that Karmapa would like them to become vegetarian. 1,000

leaflets were distributed, a BAVeg activist helped with that.

 

I'll update the Dalai Lama vegetarian leaflet, and make that available

for you to hand out. Or you can bring literature from BAVeg, PeTA,

Vegan Outreach, it's all good.

 

Leafleting will occur before the event, while people are waiting to

get through the security check. They are lined up, moving slowly, it's

easy to go along the line and hand out leaflets. After the talk, the

crowd pours out all at once, it's much harder to leaflet then. If you

would like to help, please contact me.

Jordan,

 

Leafleting about a veg*n diet is a great thing, but it is worthwhile noting

that the Dalai Lama himself has spent very little of his life on a veg*n diet.

I find this discouraging.
