I felt an even stronger connection to my lineage. The Karmapa's frank account of his own childhood and life actually was quite sad to me, but when I see the result it gives me great hope.
Every day we train little children to be violinists, athletes but this extraordinary being from his earliest days has been training in the benefit of others - in kindness. It fills me with such gratitude.
What I would like to ask is related to the 'new' vegetarianism the Karmapa has asked to adhere to.
Does fish, seafood etc. count as 'meat' (since the Karmapa wanted only meat to be eliminated from the diet), technically speaking it wouldn't. There are even some people eating insects, snails, frogs and almost anything nowadays.
