Date: 2007-03-30 10:20 am (UTC)Once a friend told me she was a Buddhist and I said, "oh, which branch?" And she was tres confused!
Later I asked her where she learned to meditate and the way she meditated. Considering a real practicing Buddhist lived down my hall (shrine and all -- fire rules exception made for his incense) it became apparent she was DUH-UMB.

made him rather frail, and as he aged, suffered from occasional bouts of severe bad breath.
This made him:
A super fragile calloused mystic, vexed by halitosis.

Date: 2007-03-29 06:37 pm (UTC)Or at least a short essay by George Orwell:
It was also apparent that the British were making use of him, or thought they were making use of him. Strictly speaking, as a Nationalist, he was an enemy, but since in every crisis he would exert himself to prevent violence--which, from the British point of view, meant preventing any effective action whatever--he could be regarded as "our man". In private this was sometimes cynically admitted. The attitude of the Indian millionaires was similar. Gandhi called upon them to repent, and naturally they preferred him to the Socialists and Communists who, given the chance, would actually have taken their money away.
Gandhi's response to the Holocaust was appalling:
According to Mr. Fischer, Gandhi's view was that the German Jews ought to commit collective suicide, which "would have aroused the world and the people of Germany to Hitler's violence." After the war he justified himself: the Jews had been killed anyway, and might as well have died significantly.
I find that Orwell is a good tonic for Gandhi.

Date: 2007-03-30 10:15 am (UTC)I really like Ambedkar, personally.
Also: Martin Luther King leaned towards violent protest towards the end of his life, though he had previously adhered to the principles of the satyagraha. Interesting, huh?
