He kind of reminds me of those tropers who take care of pages but never post on the forums.

Huh. Another person who gave up being a royal to be a monk. AND HE TRANSLATED THINGS INTO CHINESE. Oooh.

^Heh.

Yeah... the thing that gets me is that he was a Parthian prince. Parthia being where Iran is now. Quite a trip.

WE USED TO HAVE IRAN TOO. Or at least a prince of theirs. Iran will be ours...It will be. THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE.

And I was kind of hoping you'd explain the nature of the conflicts, aondeug. :(

@Aon and Tze: I meant via P Ms, in other threads, in general. It was kind of my socially inept way of asking you two if you'd care to be e-friends with me.

(Also, Tze apparently read my post in the Troper Demographics thread. -is flattered-)

Blech, I feel stupid now. Probably one of the more embarrassing moments in my neverending quest for more friends. But hey, can you really fault me for it? You and Tzetze are a Pretty Cool Gal/Guy.

Well that wasn't what I meant, but I guess we all sort of become part of a single huge organism after we post here for long enough. Also, P Ms yay!

You can't spell "organism" without "org" and you can't spell Laymen without "y"

...just putting it out there...

Just going to add that I think the Buddhist cosmology is wonderfully complex and awesome.

Are you trying to tell me that orgies aren't sexual misconduct?

Upon rereading, I think it was a call for tropers and laypeople to have hot group sex...

Buddhism is probably one of the few eastern religions to not have any esoteric sex rituals. At least none that I'm aware of. I'd imagine it'd be pretty hard to reconcile with the teachings of the Buddha.

You know, the only Buddhist religious poetry I've read happened to be a Zen monk asking the Buddha to forgive him for not controlling himself, because damn women are sexy [continues for three pages]

The Dream Hunters featured some potential hot Buddhist Priest/fox spirit action.

I'm guessing the idea that are people out there who decide, "Fuck it, I'm going to be holy and not have sex with ANYBODY", really piques the interests of other people.
