SUMMARY:Veg Leafleting at Buddhist Dalai Lama event - Berkeley
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE: Please visit Bay Area Vegetarians event calendar for more information or updates on this and other vegetarian and animal rights events.=0D=0A=0D=0Ahttp://www.bayareaveg.org/events.php#2075 =0D=0A=0D=0AHost: Jordan=0D=0A=0D=0ANotes:=0D=0A=0D=0ADalai Lama will speak on Peace Through Compassion at 2pm. Doors open at 12noon. I will be on the sidewalk in front of the Greek Theatre entrance from 11:30am-2pm handing out veg leaflets, and talking to people about vegetarianism. Please join me for any part of that time.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AI will make a leaflet targeted at this audience. The leaflet will say something like: Practice Compassion Through Vegetarianism; it will connect Buddhist principles, non-violence & vegetarianism; and list resources : BayAreaVeg.org, PETA.org, VeganOutreach.org and my sites BayVajra.info & RawVeg.info. Please let me know in advance if you want me to make leaflets for you, and how many. You can use my leaflets, or bring literature from your favorite vegan group.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0ABefore entering the theater, people get in lines to go through security. It's easy to leaflet then. They wait in line, moving slowly with nothing to do, you give them something interesting to read. After the talk they exit all at once moving quickly, leafleting is not successful then.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AWhen the Dalai Lama taught in SF in 2007, we distributed 2,000+ veg leaflets. When Karmapa (a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, and a vegetarian) taught in Seattle last year, we distributed 1,000 veg leaflets. Those were multi-day teachings, this time there is only one talk.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AIt's difficult to find Buddhists willing to do vegetarian leafleting, so I really appreciate the help of BayAreaVeg activists. No knowledge of Buddhism is needed, your kind intentions to help people and animals are more than enough.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AJordan Rothstein=0D=0A=0D=0Ahttp://rawveg.info/=0D=0A=0D=0A
