Really a nice love story. Hope to buy his CD soon and enjoy listening to it w/my hubbie and we are only in our 40's. That's young still, right?

The song is "Alive With the Glory of Love" by Say Anything

Duane, I apologize. I understand that this is a family blog, an that even though I was defending myself, cursing is unnacceptable. I sincerely apologize also for the comments that other people have made. Hopefully they will apologize themselves as well.

Now, does anybody know the deal on the Smarties? 🙂

His Holiness, like most people who value human relationships over tradition, will eat meat if it is served to him in good faith.

Since I follow the same principles, here is an example. I come to your house for dinner. You do not know that I am a Buddhist and vegetarian. You serve me a steak. Because I value your personal comfort and friendship more than a beef that has already been killed, and that was not killed for my personal benefit, I will eat (and enjoy) the steak.

If, however, you knew of my preferences and served meat anyway, I might or might not be offended depending on the circumstances, but I would pass on the steak. Like most things, it's a matter of intent — and the Middle Way. There is no need to be extreme; it gains nothing, and causes unhappiness.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if "advocating vegetarianism" means that he is now, in fact, a vegetarian? Because just a few weeks ago there was a story about him visiting some restaurant (and a funny story about the chef meeting him on the stairs and having to walk backwards up them so that they would not cross paths). In that story they specifically said he had the veal.

Please note I'm in no way trying to disparage the man, just commenting on what I'm reading and trying to put it all together.

while it was true that His Holiness the Dalai-Lama was eating a little meat on his personal physician's advice thirty years ago, for the last few years His Holiness as well as all the head of the four Tibetan schools are advocating for Buddhist to be vegetarians..
And one should be aware that for a Tibetan refugee the meaning of "eating meat" is NOT eating a 300 grams steak at every meal.
When you live in a Tibetan monastery in India you can see with your own eyes that "eating meat" means only having a few small pieces of mutton in your soup. (tibetan name thoukpa)
So one should NOT think that the meaning of "eating meat" for a Tibetan refugee is the same as "eating meat" is to your average US Citizen
