[Buddha-l] nytimes review of pbs The Buddha

[Bob Woolery]

Recognizing the jests, but troubled.  As I get it, early Buddhists were not
vegetarian, and monks were admonished to eat whatever landed in their bowl,
in one hyperbolic version, the finger of a leper, should it land in the
begging bowl.

  Or am I just terribly confused?

Jim! Eating a dead animal in the presence of a Buddhist is one thing,
but eating the lining of a pig's stomach in anyone's presence is
something to be done only if one has consumed at least a liter of very
bad tequila and has lost all pretensions of being civilized.

No, you'll walk home. I'd hate to think of what might happen if any
Buddhist bicycles were exposed to someone who has been eating tripe.

Or you could fly. Wasn't that popular song "Volare" sung by a Mexican
singer called Dominico Menudo?
