Ignorance on fabric...

Seeker of the clear blue sky...Its better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt Moderator
I was working yesterday, at the little Italian Bistro/Deli Cafe I work at, as Manager.
Outside, clearing tables, greeting passers-by, being friendly, you know, that kind of thing....
This rather large 'corpulent' gentleman, with a healthy and expansive waistline approaches, just passing...
Black t-shirt.
Emblazoned with a colourful slogan:
"I have the body of a God" (Big capital rainbow-coloured letters.)
Underneath, in smaller yellow capitals, and almost hidden by the downward curve of his abdomen, the legend -
"The trouble is, it's Buddha".
I felt like laughing - and slapping him round the head at the same time.....:rolleyes:

ROTFLMAO
I love these sort of events, Fede., when, as you say, I burst out laughing and feel some 'offence' at the same time. It happens with all sorts of jokes that I might want to disapprove of: sexist, racist, anti-religious, over-religious.
In my practice of Ignatian meditation, which is an exercise in self-guided imagination, I often stumble across great teachers (Jesus, Gotama, Rumi, Tenzin Gyatso, and a few very funny 'tramps') who tell the most 'outrageous' jokes. Laughing meditation is an interesting experience. There is a serious side as well, these days, because these are opportunities for me to notice and 'unhook' prejudices and preconceptions, which is the method by which I approach the instruction to "deny 'self'".
Thank you for sharing this, Fede.

I don't think I'll get it, the words are a bit small, but it's cool all the same

But, of course, he was - and so were you and will be.
