Photo Credit of Sabrette hot dog in hand facing NYC: in a story written by Brittany Temple, SiriusXM producer of "Make it Plain," with Mark Thompson So does the Dalai Lama eat hot dogs as the joke seems to imply? Maybe it's his best kept secret.□ Postscript: Many are surprised to learn that even the Dalai Lama continues to eat meat for “health reasons.” However, he also points out that the discipline code for monastics (vinaya) has no prohibition against eating meat, so monks in Thailand, Burma and Sri Lanka take vegetarian or non vegetarian food, respecting what is offered to them. These days I spend more time cultivating “moment-to-moment awareness” and that all "inclusive connection with all things,” than eating hot dogs. The Dalai Lama had eight Tibetan Mastiffs guarding his summer residence at Norblinka - two dogs at each entrance. As they say you can take the man out of the Hoboken, but you can never take the Hoboken out of the man. ![]() Eating one was a form of time travel that brings me back to the old days. It continues to be a guilty pleasure I indulge in when I am back in my home town. When you took a bite, it was like I died and went to heaven. Outside of Italian Deli Food and my late mother’s cooking, Sabrette Hot Dogs were the best comfort food I ever tasted when I was a kid. But, Cal’s most notorious customer, was “Richard Kuklinski, a contract killer better known as Iceman,” who was very “polite” and dressed like a “lawyer." He was “eventually convicted of five murders,” added his grandson, Giaco. Hoboken born and bred singer, Jimmy Roselli, a contemporary of Frank Sinatra, was a customer, as was boxer Chuck Wepner. According to grandson GIaco Furino, a Brooklyn-based writer who penned an article in the New Jersey monthly last January, Cal sold his hot dogs in those days for. I would always order one-and sometimes–two with a Yoohoo chocolate drink.Ĭal Furino, son of Italian immigrants used to sell hot dogs on the corner of Newark and Harrison streets. On the other hand, eating one was a form of Nirvana. At lunch time I would always tell the hot dog vendor, “Make Me One with Everything, which I explained above had a different connotation then, than it does now. There was always one across from Our Lady of Grace Elementary and Secondary School, which I attended. You could find one on street corners scattered about the city. The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered Man Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Sabrette Hot Dog push carts were very popular growing up in Hoboken in the 50s and 60s. And finally, it’s a story about my childhood obsession with a certain brand of hot dogs.

Though the owner was very sad, she was relieved that her dog did not have to suffer any longer.Īnd by the way, my own beloved doggie is now perfectly healthy and happy. Once again, I gave her a grain of blessed rice for the dog and within half an hour, the dog passed away peacefully. The owner was totally distraught, she could not bear to see her dog in pain, neither could she make the decision to put the dog to sleep. They could not operate as the tumour was in the brain. It was also around the same time, that another doggie came into the clinic, with a tumour in the brain and was screaming in excruciating pain and the only thing the vets could do was to place him on a morphine drip. That was about noon, then at about 2.30 that same afternoon, the owner rushed into my room with a wide smile and told me her little doggie ate some food!! This little doggie was discharged, fully recovered, two days later. I then approached her and gave her a blessed rice for her little doggie, which she placed immediately into the dog’s mouth. The owner was there every day, cuddling the dog, and was crying all the time. The vets could not find out what was wrong with him and the owner was very upset. While I was there daily, there was a little dog in the next room that had not eaten for two weeks. I visited him every day, and gave him one Dorje Shugden blessed rice and also placed blessed rice into his water. When my little dog was critically ill about eight months ago, he had to be hospitalized at the vet’s. ![]()
