[Buddha-l] Non-violence, Kleenex-style

[Franz Metcalf]

Andy et al.,

Thanks for that url. That was, indeed, an enlightening commercial, 
revealing that ad-executives (whom I had always thought were 
icchantikas) now know what most other Americans have understood for 
years. We Americans insist that Buddhists have actually always been 
Jains, strictly practicing kiriy~{(!~}v~{(!~}da, including a pure vegetarian diet 
and absolute pacifism. This is why there have never been any Buddhist 
wars, sangha kitchens must produce only bland tofu dishes, and 
dharma-followers must--without, of course, harming them--remove the 
current executive administration from office (and Iraq).

While we're at it, isn't it about time we remove right intention from 
the eightfold path?

Cheers,

Franz Metcalf
