<<I don't see where being curmudgeonly and conceited is
commensurate with being elightened or even being on your way to
enlightenment.  It don't even see where being mysterious is part of
being enlightened.  That's part of the *image* of being enlightened. 
Probably the same sort of thing that Sato objected to in the
misleading translation. >>


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? Perhaps we should see if we can get a word with the immortal,
um, I believe his name is M.C.A. from that group that all the kids love, the
Beastie Boys. I hear he was buddhist when buddhist tweren't cool (just like
Ted Turner was cable when cable wasn't cool [but I always considered cable
to be VERY cool as it allowed me to watch Space Giants]). 

But yeah, I have always loved the stories of J.D. Salinger but his
pretentiousness has always made me want to yank a knot in his arse. I mean,
I thought being buddhist was about extinguishing the ego. Sounds like his
ego is all over the damn place. 

Okay, I think I hear mom calling. The toast must be ready.
