GOOD STORY - A WORD OPF ACUTION THOUGH. Just recetly i read a quote which will go very well with this ( and other similar stories about traditions) it was by G B Shaw ( I think ! ) "Before u remove a fence young man, first find out why it was put there" let me add, if one is not able to find out the reason behind the traditions, one needs to put in a little more effort in finding out before deciding about their continuance or otherwise. good day warriors !! aditya Hi Paulo !

I thought it was a wonderful and inspiring story when I first read it in your book "Like a Flowing River". As fLUXman mentions above, Lord Buddha did get rid of all the cats in a religion and in the society during that time. I am a Buddhist myself and one of the best teachings of Buddha is where he says that just because he says something, we are not to blindly believe, we are supposed to analyse the theory in our minds and we should inquire and learn from others and if we think that this is right, we should follow it and never to follow something blindly. This I thought was a wonderful teaching from a wonderful person. Take care, Ineshka Hi Mr.Coelho,

I really enjoyed reading it. You know, now a days, there are so many people that just follow things simply for the reason that other people are doing it. Its like they've become sheep that just follow without thinking to themselves why they are doing things, and if they really do feel they want to. I try not to do that. I've very much a person who thinks for herself, and makes her own decisions based on her beliefs and her truth.. And i'm proud to say that. I hope that people start to think more for themselves and do things to make themselves happy :) i hope that people will start to act more out of love, than out of fear.. And i hope you have a good day paulo and friends. :) Thank you for being. Yajna Dearest Paulo,
