Re: Café avec Bouddha
I don't know what I'm offended more by: the Buddhic cultural appropriation or the lack of an accent aigu on "éclair." A macron isn't an acute. Also, an ampersand isn't an E. Total fail.
I kid. I'm sure it was a fine cup of tea. Also I'm fine with it.

Someone very pleased to receive a frying pan. 
Next a microwave/oven that half works and a toaster that does not work properly. Seems people have a use for all sorts …
Being a bodhisattva was never easier …

We have had some lovely days recently. I was able to drive with the top down!

Re: From Buddhism to belief in God?
I was fortunate enough to have a Theravadan Monk make offerings for me at the Temple of the Tooth in Sri Lanka several years ago.
This temple holds the relic of the Buddha's tooth.
How fortunate.
From what I know it is rather large. Possibly belonging to an elephantine incarnation. I have also been unable to confirm if it is ever cleaned with a special brush. That would be … the holy toothbrush …

… and now back to the real relics … whilst I go cleaning my tongue with soap …

Re: Getting better "blog"
Just read the link you posted for @marcitko @Bunks, not to belittle addiction in any way (I know addiction is a serious subject), but I had to laugh when I read this paragraph...( "mask debate" came to mind )
Porn has been the subject of mass debate for years, yet very little consensus is held among researchers of its impact on young adults.
I'm not sure if it was deliberate ( a pun) on part of the author or he had overlooked how it could be construed, either way it did make me laugh...
