hookedondhamma Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I remember this. Some people should stick to their jobs and not try to be comedians. Cheesy and tacky - kind of like those jokes from childhood jokebooks that make one groan. I do enjoy how the dalai lama handled the situation though - that was both clever and funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as ever the Dalai Lama comes off very well as a wise enlightened one - his reply to whether you can make me one with everything is "theoretically possible" which is of course true but I imagine not likely in the case of the interviewer. But you never know. He should of known it is not possible for a Buddhist monk to go and order anything in any shop. There was a follow up interview with the same interviewer some time later...and he even suggests that in the future there could be a female Dalai Lama - remarkable man. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/2013/06/14/09/13/stefanovic-revisits-pizza-joke-with-dalai-lama Edited April 10, 2014 by beautifulthailand99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautifulthailand99 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 If the Dalai Lama had had more time to unpack the proposition given buy the interviewer he might have suggested some of the same thoughts given by this monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I remember the joke differently. What did Buddha say to the hotdog vendor? "Make me one with everything." Later I heard a followup. The Buddha finishes the hotdog and hands the vendor a hundred-dollar bill. The vendor puts it away, and smiles. The Buddha asks, 'Where's my change?' 'Change must come from within', answers the hotdog vendor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
