Some very small mods were made on occasion to make posts readable outside of the forum setting they were made in.

Zen bugs

One of the teachers at a particular Zen Center (who later became a Zen Master) saw Carol swat a mosquito during a retreat, and he gave her a little lecture about honoring all forms of life. At the next retreat we attended I spotted several spray cans of wasp-killer and asked about them. The woman I asked said, "Last week a wasp badly stung the teacher's two-year old daughter, and afterwards he bought several cans of wasp-killer and sprayed all of the cabins. He really hates wasps now!" LOL
