[VegChat] veggie lit PLUS MORE STUFF>

[vaalea]

I'm not worried (and I did look around the website at that stuff before), but I still think it looks odd to give out to the general public - like Govindas or Perfection Satisfaction Promise..some people ARE a little weirded out by that kind of thing.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "vegan of lacto-vegetarian diet." but then I realized it was supposed to be OR.. tehe. That certainly explains the "we will give you more milk" I saw on the pamphlet.... but doesn't explain what they do [or think should be done] with all the bull calves born.... at least until the technology happens that through artificial insemination they are able to produce only heifer calves (and the occasional bull necessary)... see http://www.moomilk.com/archive/dairy_p_40.htm ...blah.

  I won't be too worried about that site; it talks a lot about meditation, some of its content reminded me of buddism:

  http://www.godsdirectcontact.org/eng/quanyin.html

  The Supreme Master Ching Hai initiates sincere spiritual aspirants into the Quan Yin Method -- the same practice that was taught by Jesus Christ, Buddha, and other Saints. 
  The Chinese characters, Quan Yin, mean "contemplation of the sound current." The Method involves meditation on the Inner Light and the Inner Sound of God, or the Word (Logos) as referred to in the Bible and acknowledged repeatedly in the literature of all the world's major spiritual traditions. Through this practice you can gain a happy and more relaxed life, liberate yourself, and save five generations of your family. 
  The Quan Yin Method requires two and a half hours of meditation per day and adherence to the following five precepts: 
    a.. Refrain from taking the life of sentient beings (*) 
    b.. Refrain from speaking what is not true; 
    c.. Refrain from taking what is not offered; 
    d.. Refrain from sexual misconduct; 
    e.. Refrain from the use of intoxicants (**) 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   (*) This precept requires strict adherence to a vegan of lacto-vegetarian diet. No meat, fish, poultry or eggs (fertile or nonfertile). 
  (**) This includes avoiding alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling, pornography, and excessively violent films or literature.(All poisonsof any kind)

    On the other hand, the url name"Godsdirectcontact", and the animals saying 
    things like "we pray for you" and I'm pretty sure on the actual flyer.."we 
    will give you more milk" or something.... all looks a little... odd. We had 
    a stack dropped off at our unattended veg table at the Ecofair.

    Also, re isolation etc... and transportation... I wish that they would do 
    MORE to encourage telecommuting which helps alleviate the traffic and 
    pollution problems, and probably affects the rounds of sicknesses.

    Bus Pass Tax Break

    Starting in July 2006 you could be eligible for a tax break for your bus 
    passes. Only catch is that you need to save your old passes for the tax 
    break starting in July. So keep your old passes, they really could be worth 
    something now.

    This would be valid for your 2006 return.
