An interesting three hour programme was conducted by TNL last week at which three leading Buddhist priests and a highly qualified person attended.

The discussion was centered on unethical conversions. A story related by one of the monks at this discussion is worth being placed on record.

A Christian missionary (pastor) brings two boxes before little children. He says one belongs to Jesus and the other to Buddha (not even Lord Buddha). Children are asked to select any box of their choice. The Buddhist children select the box of Lord Buddha. They find the box empty. The pastor now says select the box of Jesus. It is filled with so many items. Then the pastor says "see how Jesus loves you." It is people like this that we have been tolerating. Please do not make the common mistake which most do.

Every Christian is not a Catholic.
