    In the words of the Buddha:

    Have a nice day. Oh wait he never said that . . . ah well, back to Mr Cushion . . .

    Heh. No Buddha would have said, "There are five attributes, oh monks, that a person may use to describe the day. And what attributes are that? They are very bad, bad, so-so, tiring, and nice..." and a half dozen verses later, you'd find out it's best to have the nice one.

    I just love those old sutras designed for oral recitation.

    I would love to see a book of parodies of the suttas like that, haha!

    My version of the Buddha's last words:
    "With mindfulness, stroll on..." ;)
