Meditating Buddhist monk killed in India leopard attack
"A Buddhist monk has been killed by a leopard while meditating in a protected forest for the big cats, the fifth such attack in the area this month, Indian police said Thursday"
"Rahul Walke Bodhi was seated beneath a tree in Ramdegi forest in western India for morning prayers on Tuesday when the leopard pounced."
"The forest, roughly 825km west from the state capital Mumbai, falls within a protected reserve for big cats where four other fatal attacks have occurred in recent weeks.
The monks, in the area for an annual prayer conference, had ignored warnings from local officials about venturing too far into the forest, police said."

Supposedly they have no plans to track down and kill the leopard, which is surprising but good

I was thinking more about the negative consequences accrued from killing a member of the ordained Sangha.Lobsang Chojor wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 1:17 pmSupposedly they have no plans to track down and kill the leopard, which is surprising but good

Re: Meditating Buddhist monk killed in India leopard attack
I thought about the stories of the buddha offering his own body to the tigers to eat
Re: Meditating Buddhist monk killed in India leopard attack
Nah, it is more like misanthropic Greg feels that the life of a leopard (a species on the brink of extinction) is more important than that of a foolish monk who went to meditate in an area where there have been three previous leopard attacks.
