Suffice to say I am not entirely sure which moron wrote all this utter codswallop about Paul McCartney (”He wrote the lyrics to all the Beatles best songs songs”) but I strongly suggest you invest in professional people to write your articles as frankly the rubbish you are churning out is little more than an embarrassment… Also Buddhists ARE allowed and indeed DO eat meat, and the ridiculous (I assume) pun on the Beatles song titles is frankly… pathetic!!!

Buddhist monks are not allowed to request meals of meat, though this doesn’t exclude a monk from eating meat if it is what has been offered. A better issue you people might wish to ponder is why many Tibetan centers have offered meat at their fundraising dinners they have… but maybe all of these supposed Buddhists in attendance also have Hep B like the Dalai Lama and they also have an excuse for eating meat.

Certainly does, doesn’t he? Jains are something else, and not all Buddhists are veggies let alone vegans

So then why doesn’t he just tell His holiness not to eat anything? Killing lettuce for salad or fruit from trees is killing the plant, or fruit and forcing animals out of living by it as a food source. Perhaps Paul needs to read up on his Buddhism. Number one of the four noble truths is that life is suffering. Like the Dalai Lama doesn’t know that!? He needs to be told to stop preaching to the choir…or rather chanting to the monk.

So the Dalai Lama has an attachment to meat, tsk
