Best of the Season to you too - is that what one says to a Buddist?

quoteSass wrote at Dec 6, 2007 at 13:43 o\clock:Maybe to the Perth Buddists - but I saw Compass on the telly the other night and there was a segment about some pretty militant monks who are fighting in Sri Lanka. What do you reckon about that? Are they doing the right thing? They seemed to be justifying their actions by saying that it was something that Budda would have agreed with. I thought Budda was strictly harm no one?

Hopefully I never have too.

You're right. It isn't a situation I'd ever like to find myself in Sponky.
