Buddhist Humor

Good Morning,

The Buddha was known to have a great sense of humor. Today I simply wanted to share a few quotes and insights that have put a smile on my face. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Blessed is he who finds happiness in his own foolishness. For he will always be happy.

The Buddha was not really a god. In fact, he thought it quite odd That we go all around Worshipping mounds more mindless than peas in a pod!

Some people think that Buddhist practice and meditation are about stopping thoughts. As the saying goes, if that were true, a coconut would be enlightened.....

Its amazing that the Buddha had such a grasp on the reality of suffering without ever having to go to the DMV.

I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find their way around town.

When I first started reading about Buddhism, I said this emptiness is really heavy!
