A New Jedi Council
We sit and ponder how balance can be maintained as much as possible. Sometimes that means fighting today for peace tomorrow. We sit in a circle wearing robes. We remain calmly separate from the screaming politicians. We display even grins and concerned frowns while the dems and repubs scream in a rage when they perceive their power is waning and laugh like the Joker when they smell a political victory. We remain calmly in contemplation and quietly deliberate in action.
May the force be with you.
May the force be with you.

It does drive me nuts though when my dad tries to ask a question about these sacred movies. It is bad enough that he has never seen any of the movies, but when he sees Yoda on TV and asks if that character is Chebaccer?:banghead:
"Tsenzhab Serkong Rinpoche was a massive man – a monk with shaved head, red robes, and a deeply lined face that made him look more ancient than his years. His humble, wise manner and gentle humor made him appear like the archetypal sage of fables. This quality did not escape the notice of Westerners who met him. Upon seeing him in Dharamsala, for instance, the makers of the popular film Star Wars decided to use him as the model for Yoda, the spiritual guide of the epic. Rinpoche never saw the movie, but would undoubtedly have been amused at the caricature. Rinpoche’s most outstanding feature, however, was his relationship with His Holiness the Dalai Lama."
