And finally – The Buddhist art of nonjudgmental judging is subtle
The Dalai Lama was clearly brought up to eat his brussels and continues as a paragon of genteel table manners. He would clearly be the ideal dinner guest, likely to eat anything served up to him. The article explains how whilst tucking into interesting food as part of a TV competition he remained completely unjudgmental about what tasted best.
“The reality television program MasterChef Australia made news when the Dalai Lama agreed to appear as a guest judge. But while His Holiness clearly enjoyed some of the dishes – particularly the yummy Sri Lankan vegetarian curry – he refused to render judgments: “As a Buddhist monk it is not right to prefer this food or that food,” he said.”
Wish my kids would take a leaf out of his book!
