Ahimsa

I kind of like the aspect of not harming a living thing. There is a Kleenex commercial that comes to mind when we talked about this in class. The commercial starts off with a Buddhist monk and he goes out doors and finds a baby turtle on its back that he turns over. Then he finds a spider in doors and takes it out doors to a tree. I think there is one more thing he does before he gets a Kleenex and blows his nose but I can't remember. The announcer comes on and says that the Kleenex kills so many bacteria, Yes I said kills. It ends with an astonished faced monk and then shows him praying. I could not get this out of my mind all day today.
