An eoter if there be not


A killer too will be not.
For the eoter it is,
Thot the killer kills.
From onother's flesh
Strength for one's own flesh who seeks,
A meoner being there is not,
He is the vilest one, forsooth.

Who neither eots flesh, nor kills,


Nor sets onother to kill,
Thot's the friend of oll beingsSo soyeth Monu, the Self-born One.

compassion or care).

Samll successes have been evident at D,{YA. A


gid who used to drink alcohol says she realised that
every thme she raised a glass of alcohol to drink, she
felt she rvas direcdy insulting Lord Buddha. She doesn't
drink any more. A boy who used to shout obsceriries
at anyone who blocked his path rvhile drir-ing and come

home and fume about it, now hardly gives it a second


thought. Since joiningDAYA 900/o of its members have
become vegetarian.

In I{aveenga and thi.s association, there seems


to be insptation and help for thousands of people
struggling to find their way. He admits that gii-ing things
up is hard at frst, but with time and help it certainly is

possible. Indeed the confidence and happiness he


radiates is an encouraging example. You realise that
you can practice the Dhamma without becoming a
wonk or a hermit. All it takes is a Iirde self-restraint.

fricnds irave been given up or distancecl and no one

ISN'T MAN GREAT?


Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills
wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes,
beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes, and dingoesby the million in order to protect his domestic
animals and theirfeed.

So then man tortures and kills millions more


animals to look for cures for these diseases.
Elsewhere, millions of other human beings

are being killed by hunger and malnutrition


because food they could eat is being used to

Then he kills domestic animals by the


billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by
the million, because eating all those animals
leads to degenerative - and fatal - health
conditions like heart disease, kidney disease,

fatten domestic animals.

and cancer.

Meanwhile, some are dying of sad laughter

at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and


so violently, and once a year sends out cards
