Bagwan Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Shouldn't contemplating one's navel be reserved for Thai politicians? Perhaps somebody will come up with the notion, after great thought and contemplation of course, that praying to a Nepalese Prince who has been dead for 2,500 years is pretty pointless?

I am affraid if Thai politicians do contemplate they own navel they certainly do not practice meditation enough... As for your second sentence ... ...I suppose luckily very few people did read this thread, would you speak in such words of Jesus in a Christian country? As for speaking of Allah like that in a Muslim country I prefer not to guess ! So why speak like that of Buddha in Thailand? Because being on TV allows everything ? I am a Buddhist... since Buddhism is a philosophy I am not really hurt...Because I do know it would be impossible that 100% of TV members behave respectfully on every subjects so I take it from where it comes from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
