Desecration

So some SOB defiled the Buddha outside the temple down the street from my house. I could have cried to see it. With a red marker they gave him a black eye, blood coming out of his mouth, a swastika on his forehead and the words, "I got in a fight with Jesus" is written on his chest. How sad and pathetic do you have to be? I mean, it's Buddha. A source of utter sweetness and light. That personification of sunshine and love would be a threat, I guess, to a sad and lonely teenage kid with something to prove. A statue of a smilling fat man would be enough to provoke a group of kids to desecration.

I think I'll join that temple. Question: On what plane do Buddha and Jesus coexist?

Hiyaz!

It's me Lisa. I found your blog.

I've never understood how folks feel that they are justfied in damaging other folks stuff (in this case desecrating Buddah)

It's just downright disrespectful. It's the kind of stuff I end up dealing with all too frequently in my line of work and I always end up shaking my head.
