odd Buddha tableau
We’re moderately unusual around here when it comes to religion. Josh has been identifying lately as an Ignostic while I am coming to think that I am best described as a Crummy Buddhist. (I pay lip service to meditation, I love to eat ham and sausage, and I keep hoping that people who annoy me will get eaten by bears.)
We’ve got a three-foot-high bronze statue of a standing Buddha in the garden now, and I have a bronze Buddha head in my room. “That’s disturbing,” said Josh. “It’s like you’re growing them to harvest their heads.” He suggested that I place the Buddha head at the feet of the other Buddha. “In a sort of ha-ha! I have vanquished!…” He paused. “But I guess that sort of defeats the whole thing.”
Well, I guess it’d be a pretty good illustration of “If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.” Tempting.

I think the Buddha encountering himself and killing himself would be very apropos.
What *I* would do is prop a short shovel against the whole Buddha, and set the other on the ground and pile dirt around like he’s buried up to his neck. You might want to set up a little TV on a cart, but then again my favourite part of the Creepshow movie was the Ted Danson/Leslie Nielsen story.
