My wife is Catholic and I doubt she knows the third and fifth precepts of that either. Many of her inlaws in Saigon are buddhist.

He now practices for the French version of Doctors Without Borders, married a Thai girl and has a son, converted from Judaism to Buddhism, lives in Bangkok, and is a party animal. It works for him.
