[Buddha-l] Rice & Dragons

[Artur Karp]

Dear Joanna and Dan,

no further points are necessary. I know a bit about the dragon-lore
myself --- what with one of the Polish kingdom's founding myths
involving a humble but nonetheless heroic dragon slayer.

What I find of interest here is the question of compatibility. Is
Buddhism better suited to flourish in the areas of wet-rice
cultivation, with its tradition of communal labor, or in the areas of
wheat (barley, etc.) cultivation, with its tradition of - mainly -
single homestead labor?
