The willingness of certain people around here to advertise their ignorance
continues to amaze me. Which Buddhism are you talking about, Wade?
Therevada or Mahayana? Indian, Thai, Tibetan, Chinese, modern Western?
How about Zen? How about *my* Buddhism as described in the message
Vincent was replying to? How many Buddhist physical accoutrements do
you think I own, Wade? Wouldn't it be a good idea to engage your brain
before posting to this list?

If there was a prize for self-satisfied pig-ignorance it would be yours,
Wade, no contest.
