Wow I changed email accounts for the Dojang Digest and considering all of the blunt force trauma I took to my head in the 60's 70's and 80's suffice to say that it took Ray to figure it all out for me,, well I'm back in the saddle and I would like to say that I missed many days on here, wow, it's funny how I "actually" missed reading some of these posts! Still might be because of the blunt force trauma and the back medicine, pinched my sciatic nerve for the first and hopefully LAST time two weeks ago.

Published in today's Dayton Daily News. [Note the martial arts connection - the 1988 Olympics was when Taekwondo was first introduced as a demonstration sport.] : If You Love Dogs, Skip This Item Thousands of foreign tourists will flock to Seoul, South Korea, next year for the World Cup soccer finals, and restaurateur Lee Hak-soo hopes he can keep selling his No. 1 specialty -- dog meat. The government may impose a temporary ban on the traditional Korean delicacy to appease newcomers turned off by the thought of eating man's best friend. "No one has the right to tell us not to eat it," said Lee, who sells spicy dog soups and casseroles. "I am angered to see our government bowing to foreign pressure, unable to defend our food culture." South Korea has prohibited sales before -- during the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics -- but many Koreans take the dog meat criticism as a slight to their tradition and culture. "At first I hesitated, but after one try, I couldn't forget the soft and sweet taste," said Lee Sang-kook, a 29-year-old office worker, noting that the experience hasn't affected his love for his two pet dogs. ------------------------------ From: "Michael Choi" Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 23:26:22 -0500 Subject: the_dojang: Re: Hapkido and Buddhism I apologize for my ignorance. It's been too long since I last learned about Buddhism. Both Messiers Sims and Wee are right in that there is nothing specifically teaching non-violence. My speculation is that since one of the Five Precepts is not to kill, some may interpret that to mean that one cannot kill whether one is attacking or defending. Another speculation is that when violence is used, the fear of approaching death is manifest. Since the fear of approaching death is suffering, its cause being desire, the cure is to remove the desire. Some might say that the Buddhist should accept death as a form of removing the desire for self-preservation that causes the fear of approaching death. But these are speculations coming from a non-Buddhist. Later I will share my views, as an evangelical Christian, regarding violence and the use of force. Warm regards to all, Michael Choi ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2001 7:03:11 PST Subject: the_dojang: Happy Thanksgiving May you all have a happy Thanksgiving.
