Unfortunately, the clip can only be accessed in the US, apparently.
My recently moved Blog, containing some of my writings on the Buddha Dhamma, as well as a number of translations from classical Buddhist texts and modern authors, liturgy, etc.: Huifeng's Prajnacara Blog.

Yah sorry about that, i did look for a non US source but couldnt find one. If i run into one i will post it here. If you can get it thru a US proxy, its worth the effort if you are interested in the subject matter.Paññāsikhara wrote:Unfortunately, the clip can only be accessed in the US, apparently.

...We Buddhists must find the courage to leave our temples and enter the temples of human experience, temples that are filled with suffering. If we listen to Buddha, Christ, or Gandhi, we can do nothing else. The refugee camps, the prisons, the ghettos, and the battlefields will become our temples. We have so much work to do. ...

BUT! it is important to become a real Buddhist first. Like Punna did: Punna Sutta Nate sante baram sokham _()_

Great video, sheds yet even more light on the fiasco of the meat eating populace. Not only in production, not only in growing bigger-faster, but also in their shite.
