Mensaje del Dalai Lama


Extracto de Articulo tomado de VegNews, publicado para la revista de Julio/Agosto 2005.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has recently promoted the foundation of the Universal Compassion Movement, headed by Geshe Thupten Phelgye, encouraging the vegetarian path. "People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn't cause suffering."

In contemporary practice and leadership, there is one outstanding inconsistency: many lamas and nuns continue to eat meat.

Es cierto, el tema del vegetarianismo es muy complicado sobre todo en algunas órdenes de budismo tibetano, pero me parece maravilloso que al fin el Dalai Lama mismo haya tomado parte por el vegetarianismo!!!

Excelente!
