I think the moles are taking a bad rap. But their tunnels provide

I'm never mindful but I am aware that the Zen Buddhist in 1940 Japan
went along with the program. Also read in the Dali Lama's biography
that he some times shoots aggressive birds at his feeder. Must be the
human condition.
So no Moles = No Voles or maybe less Voles.

Okay, Bill. Please give me the author and name of this book with the
page where it says His Holiness killed anything, ever.

You're a weird if you think the Dalai Lama has ever HELD a weapon, let
alone shoot one at any living thing.

Provide the title of the book. Is it Kundun? Author?



He has been quoted about it in an interview in the New York
Times. Although, apparently, he just shoots in the direction of
predatory birds, to scare them away from the smaller birds at is
bird-feeder...
