Buddhist temple in Cambridge
Having gone through a rather angry breakup after 17 years, I was allowed to.take my 14 year old daughter out. Still reeling from the denial of having any time with her, we set off for Cambridge to the Buddhist Temple there, to let her see how I got through it all.
We went in, and met with three other worshippers, and little lordly became enthralled with the paintings in the lobby.
I, as usual, started to feel immediately calmed and serene, she, was getting more and more into the images, and the architecture, its an old 1920's cinema/theater.
What was making me more and more mild and happy made her more excited, she was agog at the statue of Buddha and the round, stage and tiered auditorium.
After leaving I had been taken to the calm state I needed to be in, she was buzzing like a firefly.
Sitting down to a meal after, I asked her if she was at all moved by the tranquility of it all.
She said no, not in there, inside there it was electrifyng, but right now, she does feel sleepy.
And I don't think I have ever seen her so calm for a long long time.
Oh.. as for burning in Hell, I probably will, Mrs Lordy, and her family are devout Catholics, and I 'worship' a false god.
I will burn.

Good to see that you're taking on board Buddha's teachings about bitterness and holding grudges here.

where's the bit where you had sex with the statue or something?
I'm missing the punchline...

there is no punchline. this is simply a dull story with no direction or conclusion.
no wonder his wife left him, eh?

Sounds to me like you have some mental health/anger management issues.
Have you considered seeking the help of a qualified medical professional?

Let me guess
you're quite new to buddism aren't you?

Pro-tip: lay off on the Zen stuff and think a little bit more about other people in your life.

And I thought Buddhists were the religious group
that weren't all up themselves. Oh well...

Ha! Yes, I'd be more impressed by religious people in general
If they weren't all as fucked up as the rest of us.
