Reincarnate my Buffalo?
It's well documented by Buddhists and other such deep-study religious mass opiates that we all seem to be involved in a cycle of birth and rebirth.I believe the Dalai is a reincarnate of,incredibly,the Buddha himself. Can he seriously even himself believe such crazy shit.
Now my point was if man is involved in such cycle and needs to perform some nifty deeds ( poorly documented and variously interpreted to add some thrill and keep the plebians cycling cluelessly) to get out of this vicious cycle of rebirth surely this rebirth/reincarnation thing cannot be limited to just humans.
It follows that the other living beings should be into this game as well,as humans are in all probability closer to God than goats lets say.So God wouldn't single out mankind for this rebirth/ reincarnate stuff and goats/cows/chicken/donkeys need come in only once.. no logic here.
So the religious leaders( those whose religions have been enlightened under various trees) now can spend their lives gainfully employed preaching ways and means to beat the rebirth trap while other morons preach radically different destinations(cushy or hellish) based on just one life's performance.
We can understand the industrious leaders of western religions who need to work all the time to market their spiel/raise funds/invest funds/guide women on abortions/claim their holy land militarily/indulge in more politics than govts themselves/ guide the George Bushes through their moments of doubt...these guys can easily lose the plot ,but what takes the cake are the gents like the buddhist monks .
These guys do nothing, just nothing except dwell on such topics like how to beat the rebirth all their lives locked up in remote monastaries with no distractions (or inclinations like the worthy catholic, celibately avowed priests). It cannot be that no monk has wondered if the sheep outside the monastary is going through the rebirth pangs too... it just seems like a lot of years wasted chanting knowledgeably,if the end is same for him and that sheep.
Finally if Dalai is a reincarnate of Buddha,he is doing a lousy job this time around..all he's got to show for it is Richard Gere in audience.Now here's a man who has been there,seen it all and now come to live with us..does he reveal anything..has he learnt anything from this all..do we see even a hint about the netherworld from him..what's the journey like..he could have given a talk to these astronomers at all the observatories around the globe at least where to point their stuff..nope, all he does is schmooze hollywood and watch walt disney.He's had it next birth.
..am just pissed he's in town to convert the biggest mass of nomadic tribals to his ways..bugger, they need some sensible vocational skills to sort out their lives in this here land, not inter-galactic musical chair skills that neither they nor their chicken will ever need.
It is a little sad to imagine these fine monks/exquisitely groomed Popes/TV evangelists(directly connected to God !)/Moslem suicide Martyrs(glory)/Dalai hisself ..it is sad to imagine them lying in the ground as dead as the dog that got run over by the car and no better prospects than him to escape(physically or spiritually) the Earth's gravity to the yonder land..
..and this after a life lived in that same fallacy..If there weren't so many taken in by this crap these guys would be only seen as complete lunatics.( Just look at the Pope's hats..God told him to wear that ! )
My buffalo needs to attain nirvana,freedom from cycle of rebirth..she has been milked for millions of litres of milk all her adult life and nary a complaint.. never a frown.. is God even fair?
