    Oh that's just too funny.

    Being a Zen Buddhist in Tibetan clothing in my local sangha I would have to agree that there seems to be a visualization for everything.

        Tobiah was circling the Bodhi tree one day when he came upon a donut lying on the grass. Grasping the hole of the donut he sighed in epiphany and was instantly enlightened. This is the meaning of 'grasping and not-grasping'

        I'm so sorry I just couldn't stop myself...I need a dose of laughter at least once a day, even if it is a bit irreverent. :twisted:

            Hi.

            Donut in swedish is "munk" which is the same as a Monk.
            So, the story can also be read like this:
            Tobiah was circling the Bodhi tree one day when he came upon a Monk lying on the grass.
            Grasping the hole of the monk he sighed in epiphany and was instantly enlightened.

            I made another funny!

            May the force be with you
