    Considering it has taken almost 4 hours for anyone to post a reply to this thread - and the fact that this thread has stayed at the top for that period of time - proves that Budha is truely a boring topic.

    Other people are excited,
    as though they were at a parade.
    I alone don't care,
    I alone am expressionless,
    like an infant before it can smile.

    Other people have what they need;
    I alone possess nothing.
    I alone drift about,
    like someone without a home.
    I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

    Other people are bright;
    I alone am dark.
    Other people are sharper;
    I alone am dull.
    Other people have a purpose;
    I alone don't know.
    I drift like a wave on the ocean,
    I blow as aimless as the wind.

    I am different from ordinary people.
    I drink from the Great Mother's breasts

    Well, the "breasts" part is interesting, at least.

    Buddhism also has its claim to being a fast growing religion in certain areas (particularly in western countries)
    probably indicates that getting beaten over the head by material nature gets boring after some time too

    Looks like a four armed fat man covered in spaghetti. This is your ideal?

    Well, I'm waiting. Let's hear your criticisms of Buddha. Otherwise, I may just have to step in.

    I don't criticize that which is ideal, mine is mine, your is yours. Lets not wage war upon each others' ideals.

    War? I don't hate the Buddha. Why would I wage war on him? I don't think the Buddha has a clue - but he makes a cute figurine in Chinese restaurants.
