It is a philosophy of peace and love for all living things. They don’t want to kill a fly.
Many Buddhist monks are living here on the Island. They have built palatial building to house the monks. I haven’t seen them with hair like your photo. I see them with their shaven heads and wearing orange robes at the grocers. They have an open house once a year. I haven’t gone but hope to take it in sometime.
The women Buddhists, who live in different buildings than the men, have shaven head and wear gray robes.
