I know it's kind of cheesy to post those group e-mail kind of thingies, but I got nothing else tonight. Plus, there's nothing I like more than a good Jewish joke


**You'll see it when you believe it.**
More thoughts on Jewish Buddhism?

*Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as the
wooded glen. And sit up straight. You'll never meet the
Buddha with posture like that.

*There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you
never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?

*Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.

*To practice Zen and the art of Jewish motorcycle maintenance, do the
following: Get rid of the motorcycle. What were you thinking?

*Learn of the pine from the pine.
Learn of the bamboo from the bamboo.
Learn of the kugel from the kugel.

*Be aware of your body. Be aware of your perceptions.
Keep in mind that not every physical sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.

*If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?

*Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.
Forget this and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your
problems.

*Drink tea and nourish life. With the first sip, joy.
With the second, satisfaction. With the third, Danish.

*The Buddha taught that one should practice lovingkindness to all
sentient beings. Still, would it kill you to find a nice sentient being who happens to be Jewish?

*In nature, there is no good or bad, better or worse. The wind may blow or not. The flowering branch grows long or short. Do not judge or prefer. Ask only, "Is it good for the Jews?"

*To Find the Buddha, look within. Deep inside you are ten thousand
flowers. Each flower blossoms ten thousand times. Each blossom has ten thousand petals. You might want to see a specialist.

*Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?

*The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single oy.

*Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have? Bupkes
