Foamy the Squirrel takes on Buddhist Tourists.

Being primarily Buddhist I had to have a laugh at good old "Foamy the Squirrel" ranting about wanna-be-Buddhists who are just toying with Zen because it's "hip" (I guess). Although being a long time Zennist I can tell you it's not all rainbows and bliss. Sitting on your ass for hours on end isn't hip--it's not even fun half the time but that's good because meditating is in part about getting past being uncomfortable. Buddhism isn't about finding a state to just "zone out" in. It's about finding balance between enjoying pleasure moderately and learning how to live with discomfort without suffering too much. Anyway, on with the show!!
I must note, however, that Foamy himself doesn't quite understand Buddhism as the "Fat Buddha" is not "THE Buddha" but rather a Chinese Zen Monk named, "Ho-Tai." Still, Foamy speaks some truth.
