When Tif (my daughter) was married to a fellow from a Christian family, although we paid for it, we had the wedding in her in-law to be's church and did everything as they preferred. When she mentioned that she wanted a short reading that came from Art and my Buddhist wedding book to be read, even though she would take out any Buddhist words they said they would not come to the wedding if it was read during the ceremony.<BR/><BR/>I think it's very sad and the reason why we have wars and discord. Rigid intolerance is so wrong. I congratulate Israel for being open minded and respectful.<BR/><BR/>You asked if I had anything to add about the Bonsho. I don't know much about it. I'll ask my mom since her father was a Buddhist zen priest.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-57638433290713082852008-07-28T18:22:00.000+03:002008-07-28T18:22:00.000+03:00Dina, thank you for that story!
