And what you say about attachment to material things I wholly agree with - this is one of the areas where the Venn diagram of Buddhism and Christianity intersects quite neatly, in fact!Fr.

Often we PETA types are accused of being sentimental about animals, but I think we are not nearly so emotionally attached to our food as these bacon worshippers! In my view, if there is anything in your life that you feel you "can't live without", be it meat or your phone or your partner, then you have become attached. This will invariably cause you problems because one thing that is observably true is that nothing in the material world is permanent. Not even bacon.Susannah Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614796044821279154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668594987436792920.post-56901324289596054882015-09-09T09:07:14.098-04:002015-09-09T09:07:14.098-04:00Yes, Madonna House does do it's US mailings th...Yes, Madonna House does do it's US mailings through that address, and the prices on our website are all in US dollars, so you should be good to go!Fr.
