That's fucking funny.
You know I tell these women that I'm talking to the Buddha and they actually think I am talking to Buddha, who died, what a thousand years ago? LoL
I think they might be thinking in talking to the Dali llama
Well, some think there is more than one Buddha. The original dude died about 2500 years ago. The current Dalai Lama is considered to be the reincarnation of The Buddha by some folks.
I of course believe none of that. The Dalai Lama is a wise and wonderful man, but he's just a man that has been trained from an early age to be pretty fucking awesome.
Damned right!
I still think it's funny!
It's an often misinterpreted username.
"If you meet The Buddha on the road, kill him."
That basically means that if you meet someone who claims to have all the answers, kill them. It's a bit drastic,, but the thinking is preventing that person from leading people astray and causing harm.
So, what it REALLY means is that I don't actually have all the answers. I'm effectively The Buddha in that saying, 'cause I don't have the answers and shouldn't be telling people how to live their lives.
But, it turns out people don't understand that - or know that saying. They often think just the opposite - that I'm telling them how to live their lives or proselytizing. I'm doing nothing of the sort - though I may be leading by example.
