Subject: RE: BS: A Question for Buddhists.
Hello people....It is with instinct that we should act but with a true knowledge of what we are dealing with. Ants for example are the cleanest of the creepy crawlies known to man.....they actually live on what we waste and clean our floors/worktops/bathrooms. Why can we not live in synchronism with these helpful little things..... Because it is not nice taking a cake from your cupboard and finding ants in it when you have already taken a bite....so cover or wrap all your food in such a way that ants cannot get into it...let them eat off the floor..they do no harm. If they are going to places you do not want them to go..put down a trail of salt...the monk could have put a circle of salt round himself and the ants will not cross it....Try it..it works....salt all the thresholds of your house and see if they get in. written with love for all.
