    If you see the buddha on the road, kill him

    The title says it all.

    We get attached to labels, "internal, external," "traditional, modern," "pure, mixed," and it's all a distraction from reality.

    When somebody clings to his preconceived notions too tightly he forms attachments.

    If you see the Buddha on the road, kill him.

    How about I just wound him in the arm or leg?

    I was just going to ignore him on this one. It was clear he didn't understand.

    Irreverence is good on occasion, for a philosophical life system often mistaken for a religion.

    It helps to remind us not to get too attached to our own self-importance.

    However to fundamentally mistake the middle path for the extremes of asceticism because of an incorrect attachment to nationalism is just silly.

    Also, SR, you got me in a tiny spot of trouble with the wife!
