An Interesting Book Title
So I get these e-mail things from beliefnet, and today's was a quote from the Dalai Lama. I actually got a chance to hear the Dalai Lama speak at Rutgers University last summer, it was a pretty fantastic experience even though it felt like I was a quarter of a mile away(in reality I was about 500 feet away). I wonder to myself if that was kinda what is was like to hear Guatama, Bodhidharma, or even Jesus of Nazareth speak. His Holiness as they like to call him seems like a pretty down to earth cat and prolly someone that I'd share a drink or two with(yes we can, by my interpretation. actually we can get all manner of fucked up...just not too fucked up). It would have been cooler if I had been closer, but reality ain't about the would have, should have, and could have's.
Once again I digress.
Today's little email, remember the one that featured a quote from the Dalai Lama. Yeah sure you did. Anyway, it featured one of the best book titles I've heard, The Pocket Dalai Lama. What a fucking awesome concept, a pocket Dalai Lama. Everyone needs one. Imagine having this funny little man no bigger than your hand, dressed in orange robes that will spout holy wisdom at you whenever you need it or want it. Much better than any book, get your own personal Buddhist "master" today. Oh wait, we already have that.
