Re: Ten Dharma Quotes from Movies
9) "Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it." - Rafiki, from The Lion King Another good one from the Lion King is when the monkey-guru hits the lion with a large stick. Lion: Ouch, what was that for? Monkey: What does it matter? It is in the past. :D

Re: How do gay Buddhists explain this one?
The Pali Canon is some 40 volumes long, roughly about 20,000 pages and not a mention of homosexuality being prohibited for lay people. Celibacy is required of monks and nuns, so the list of inappropriate partners for them is everyone . For lay people we find: Five types of sexual relations which inv...
