What Would Buddha Do?

Contrary to popular belief, Buddhists are not immune to the stupidity that plagues other religions:

Buddhist monks in Malaysia are struggling to combat an infestation of stinging red ants - without killing any of them.

Monks at the Hong HockSee Temple in Kuala Lumpur face a moral dilemma because of their belief in non-violence.

The insects have plagued the temple for a year and one worshipper needed hospital treatment after being bitten.

As with most religions, fanatics have taken the core concept and turned it into a fetish, thereby producing such idiotic "dilemmas."
