wonderful news. i wonder how these two ladies are going to increase the world’s shrinking buddhist population. however, sinhala buddhist monks don’t want any form of birth control for sinhala buddhists . they want the sinhala buddhist population to multiply to 60 million in order to match the tamil population across the water. i have no doubt monks have become part of this process. every bit helps.

It is distasteful for the heterosuexuals but is a sure way to contain the Population Explotion. Afterall if Humanity can achieve zero births, is it not that all have gone to Nirvana?
