    Interesting that you also get dead-ended and cannot return to NewBuddhist. This is not The Onion at its finest, though. Barely amusing at all IMO.

    hm. Not the brightest bulb in the room. Too bad no one gave him a book on Buddhism early on. He'd have found out there's no-self, and would have saved himself a lot of time and trouble. :-/

    @Dakini, The Onion is a satire/fake news/comedy website. It is not a real article.

    I loved this bit:
    "Trust me—there's nothing out there for you to find," Speth said. "You're wasting your life. The sooner you realize you have no self to discover, the sooner you can get on with what's truly important: celebrity magazines, snack foods, and Internet porn."

    Strange. I often do these things in an effort to discover the self.
