I think there's a lot of folklore and folktales about the buddha in buddhist countries. This might be one about how the boy started off on the path to enlightenment.
The buddha's in hell. He's on this awful hot floor and him and this other boy are supposed to stand there pushing this immoveable dead hot chariot.
It sounds like one of the hot hells, eh? There's all kinds of hells! As many kinds as you can imagine!
So the buddha and other boy are pushing at the chariot and the buddha stops for a bit and turns to the hell guard. (I assume this joe looks like one of them not very handsome mutanty folk from the Lord Of The Rings movies.) Anyway, he says to the guard: Hi, Jimmy! This is fung stupit. Why don't you let this other guy go and I'll do the pushing for him?
Enraged, the hell guard knocks the buddha out with a tolchock to the bonce. When the buddha wakens up, he's not in hell anymore.
Compassion and altruism is the basis of the path.
Ion's old man doesn't sound in very good shape. If you had any kind of religion in you, you could say a prayer for him. Or you could do a bit of meditation for him. Or you could just in your mind wish him well. This might not do him any good, but it would probably be good for you.

I say Hotters!
I was expecting a post about the footers, but any true Scot like yourself will be more concerned with the news about Sydney Devine.
Very sorry to hear about Ion's father.

Mingin'! Is he a popular concert artiste down in the bongo bongo then? He is famous among the same folk who like the deep fried Mars Bars and their chips. Still, no harm to the boy. I've never heard one of his records. Are you a fan? Hotboy
And all this time I thought this was hell. *grin*
I will whisper prayers to the winds.

Marie Rex: I'm sure Ion would appreciate that! Hotboy
