[Buddha-l] Wealth vs. compassion

[Jo]

A least some of it gets recycled. 
Not only India by the way--also the Phillippines and a few other countries.
I never saw trash-picking going on in Nepal though, where ofttimes the
overflowing dump bins just seem to acquire more and more. Same in
China--recent reports show tons of trash in locations near cities, sometime
acres of it--not being picked over either.

Chris, Joanna,

One of the glories of India is that it almost always presents the abstract
in rich, convoluted, colorful *concrete* detail. From today's LATimes:
