Don't know how this works, but I left my wallet at home and went to this Buddhist grocery. I sat down for a minute to get my stuff together and cool down for a second, and the owner says with rosaries on "we don't take beggars here. this is for buddhists only."
I went to a Tibetan Buddhist grad school. I recently saw the Dalai Lama speak. He said everyone needs to treat the poor with respect, and I turn around and this is what I get.
