I'd be happy with the bumper sticker too!

I can tell, those are real Japanese Soto Zen Priests, not actors.

Are you sure Jundo? I couldn't help but notice that their Okesa were just tied and not tucked. It may just be me though so just ignore me. XD

Hello Javier,

I had noted that too.



Turns out that they are Japanese Tendai priests ...



Tendai-shu is what Dogen was before he was a Zen Priest, and many other Buddhist Teachers in old Japan (Nichiren, for example) came out of Tendai too. Not to speak of a school to which I do not belong, but Tendai is rather a "kitchen sink" school that includes many elements of Buddhist practice including the esoteric, Pure Land and Zen/Zazen all mixed together.

"Mercedes Benz"


Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?


Kind regards. /\
