Alright so here's the idea for the next project...
Under the presumption that it takes 21 days to form a habit, I will explore the benefits, if any, that come from incorporating Buddhism as a spiritual and psychological tool in everyday life.
Sound lame?
Well here is a teaser of the plethora of fun that is to come:
The Ten Commandments of Buddhism:
1. Do not destroy life
2. Do not take what is not given to you
3. Do not commit adultery
4. Tell no lies and deceive no one
5. Do not become intoxicated
6. Eat temperately and not at all in the afternoons
7. Do not watch dancing, nor listen to singing or plays
8. Wear no garlands, perfumes, or adornments
9. Sleep not in luxurious beds
10. Accept no gold or silver
I know, right? I thought Buddhism was the cool, hip religion, but after reading this list, clearly they forgot number 11: no fun.
Stay tuned for more in what will be an undoubtedly imperfect journey into the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, Karma, Dharma, Shmarma, and Buddha only knows what else.
Now, I wonder if a sleeping pad counts as a luxurious bed...
