One day we will be gone and you will wish you would have listened. Just don't take the mark dude. I don't care if they threaten to cut your head off don't TAKE THE MARK!!!
i've also got 'Buddhism with an attitude - the seven methods of tibetan mind-training".. "the buddhist bible".. "the buddhist handbook".. "the heart of the buddha's teaching" (another one by thich nhat hanh)...... along with a few others..
I started to read a book called " Awakening The Buddha Within". I really enjoyed it but is was hard to find time to read it as I was constantly having to use bible pages to kindle the fire in my shack. Heat is imperative to warming the Crisco Oil to the ideal temperature for my nightly masturbation rituals.
I also had trouble concentrating and pronouncing the long words that the MonK wrote in that damn book..
I conceded defeat and decided that chanting Gregorian chants while peeing on a spark plug would be the extent of my enlightenment..
I am going to hell... I hope they have pharmacies.
