Title: Ants test nonviolence of Buddhist monks
Post by: Foxy Brown on March 13, 2007, 04:48:02 PM

Buddhist monks, who are bound by faith to nonviolence, are grappling with how to rid a temple of a severe ant infestation without killing the insects. (http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20070314205629/http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/4621159.html)

buy an anteater or some more birds, it's just the way nature is if they eat all the ants.

I don't think you could blame the monks if one of them "forgot" to close a gate and an ant eater made its way in.

That's what happens when you have those wild Buddhist picnics.
