You've Come a Long Way, BuddhaWith a little help from Tiger Woods and PBS, Buddhism may finally shake its counterculture image.

Also note the US PBS network is about to air a major tv serious called The Buddha. Savvy people in Thailand will likely find a way to access this as well.

'The Dalai Lama says that he has never heard of Tiger Woods'

I think that that says more about the Dalai Lama than Tiger

and,for the life of me,

I still don't undertstand why Tiger made a public apology

it's his wife's business and nobody else's.

I think that, given the same set of circumstances,fame,weatlth ,opportunity

most males would have done exactly the same.

All the wannabes/couldabeens should remember.........

'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'
