[Buddha-l] Dana

Likewise. PETA also has alienated me with their tactics. 

That's as good as, or better, than money. Blood is scarce. I wish I
could donate, but hypertension precludes that. My wife was donating
regularly, but a false positive on some obscure test forever barred
her. 

Why the Vedanta Society, if I may ask? 

My wife and I used to belong to the local UU church (in fact, we re-met
there, but that's a different topic) but did not find it met our rather
liberal needs. It's hard to find a good liberal bastion in Texas (but
we did, later, at a Christian Church-Disciples of Christ church --
another story).
