I meant the comment lightly. If so, it's I that must ask for forgiveness.... Your assumption is in the correct line, however. The Jain path of ahimsa, nonharming, is far beyond anything I have ever witnessed and continue to marvel at.[try to find a picture of a Jain with a whisk-broom and mask. Though hard to find, it should be worth it] I hope I didn’t come off sounding rude. I meant the comment lightly. If so, it’s I that must ask for forgiveness….

It was the killing bacteria comment that suggested that to me - as Cliff pointed out in his origional post - most Buddhists use bleach (although I do know some that refuse to...) I'd never actually seen what a Jainsist monk looked like until I googled, after reading your post. Hope you can forgive me. Thank goodness for forgivness, eh? Looks like you’re right Bodhiwater.

The Swetambara, "White-Clad" most often wear face masks to prevent the inhalation of small creatures, which would also prevent them from using this product. I am certain he is not a Digambara, or "Sky-clad" monk, for he is most certainly wearing clothes! gareth…

One of the most annoying things in the ad is that the monk regrets using the tissues - how is this good press?

That's no hippie. That's Buddhist music, a Japanese bridge, a Buddhist bonsai tree; it's Buddhist as all get out! Don't relent, Cliff! This is typical Buddhism stereotyping that doesn't stop. While it is based on ignorance, it is also not something that is adequately resisted. If Buddhists were African Americans, we'd still be sitting in the back of the bus. Buddhism needs its Rosa Parks! its MLK! Ha! That’s no hippie. That’s Buddhist music, a Japanese bridge, a Buddhist bonsai tree; it’s Buddhist as all get out!
