Pole Star Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Some thing has been puzzling me for some time about a story in our local paper some time ago & I have been unable to get my head around this one . According to our paper a well know Italian foot ball player from the 80 s or 90 s was up here with a party of his country men shooting wild fowl ok thats normal but this Italian foot ball star is said to be a practising Buddhist ok so what ! but hang on a minute do they not believe in reincarnation ? & your soul could come back as say perhaps a goose ? or even a greylag goose ? or even a duck or what ever ?. If that is what they believe then if you are out wild fowling you might just be blasting your long departed grannie out of the air ! or even your departed dad ! . Seems a bit strange ! the foot ball stars name was Roberto Badgeo not sure about the surname spelling ? can any religious scholars shed some light on this ? I think the Japanese shoot pheasants in Japan but I am not sure ?. Sorry this post is a bit odd . Regards Pole Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utectok Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I spoke to the dali lama and he said whilst it is best to Belive in all of buddhist teaching it is better to Belive and or practice some rather than none. So unlike most religions being a bit Buddhist is ok by him??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If Roberto Baggio shoots as well as he takes penalties I think his karma will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Depends on whether they think that particular animal was sentient or not. Or they were just interested in some "bits" of Buddhism and therefore not truly Buddhist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
