Re: Buddhist quotes
“Meditation is hard for youngsters. Their teeth are strong, so they can enjoy their food. They sleep soundly. Their faculties are intact and the world is fun and exciting to them, so they get deluded in a big way. For the old ones, when they chew on something hard they’re soon in pain. Right there the devaduta (divine messengers) are talking to them; they’re teaching them every day.”

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
I'm just watching Al Jazeera live...The great march north...thousands of Palestinian civilians making their way back to what's left of their homes in northern Gaza Palestine...
Even though it should be a time of celebration, it's quite a sad sight to see thousands upon thousands of civilians, old, young, men, women and children making their was back to their ruined homes, to search for the remains of family members buried under the rubble.

Re: What we are doing right?
Dear Friends I have found who is responsible for the Unhippy and Unhappy Buddhists, 
It is the domestics or servants. Domestic terrorists and 'others'.

I am so sorry that I am an 'other' and a 'domestic terrorist' (soon available in other countries than good Olde Boys of USA). Please become a Bible Thumper Trumper, before they come looking for your heathen Buddhist statues. Your Bambi eyes won't save you
Now please excuse me whilst I go to confession... Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
