"This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds
To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance.
A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky,
Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain."
- Buddha -

Rahl: I used to use Siddhartha Gautama, but not many people knew that name, so I call him Buddha so people could know that I was talking about the Tathagata. I am well aware of that.

It is lovely, He appeared to be a loving peaceful man. But I prefer to think of us as growing trees ~reaching for the Lord. And ceasing without His glorious miraculous light.:o]

Yep they are. I can get down with Buddhists. Smiling buddha looks like he'd be fun to hang with.

Buddah can be just about anyone. as a Buddhist you should know Buddah is NOT a man.
Buddah: any being who has become fully awakened (enlightened), has permanently overcome greed, hate, and ignorance, and has achieved complete liberation from suffering.

Yeah, it's a good reminder to not take yourself/life so seriously. I wish I could do it as easy as I could say it.
