Well, when i said hurt, perhaps that's going a bit far, but is conceivable from what i've read (mostly Alan Watts' 'Zen' stuff with a liberal dose Suzuki, i'm not a member of a sangha... The only one's around me are far too keen to mention monthly fees and such in the initial conversations... though that could be because i'm an english speaker in a foreign land). There are plenty of tales that i've read depicting scenes of cruelty to animals and the like in the name of expediting the progress of others down the path.
