Buddha say if we to become friends,
me no worship buddha.
we insult each other’s families for many hours
and when bell ring,
buddha ask me to escort him somewhere,
anywhere.
we go to garage sale
buddha like jigsaw puzzle.
we buy it, throw pieces on monastery floor and
begin to work.
Me and three other buddhas like this so far.
Shopping is very popular this time of year.
Make that four other buddhas, but I’m just carrying a little extra holiday weight.
