They’re Five Guys admission struck me as an incongruence that I find impossible rationalize. So, I spoke up. I said, “the Buddha taught that the occupation of butcher is not aligned with the step of right livelihood, so how is it OK for you to enable a butcher?”. They didn’t like my question and skirted the issue and played it off like I didn’t know what I was talking about. It was extremely disappointing — and, well, annoying. 

So, it comes as a bigger surprise to me than anyone that I’m locating my yoga shala in, of all places, a church.

Each of these limbs contributes to the overall practice while also existing independently as a practice unto its own.
