Thanks. When I tell people I practice Buddhism they make some smart remark about being a monk.

That's fair game. I got the comments for being veggie and meditating. Others will have it for some other reason. Teasing is alright as long as it's not done again and again.

Practicing Buddhism is a scale not a binary thing. I’ve been a veggie since birth and meditated on and off. What I do like about Buddhism is less “do what I told you in a book” but more of “look inside yourself, find what works for you, and do that”.

Words to live by, my friend.

Me neither. Nothing like a saucy koan to snap me out of an infinite stoopid-loop.

Stay true to yourself. E-Mail in profile if you want to chat about Buddhism.
