It could be said that all the
teaming numbers of humanity could be
heaped into three categories:
Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and utter Boobs.
What do we share in common?
The ability to experience the
entire spectrum of thoughts and emotions;
from the pleasurable to the painful and
from the glorious to the grotesque.
Remember folks:
Who we are is NOT determined by
which thoughts and emotions
pop into our heads and hearts
BUT, by what we do with them.
When an utter boob, like Homer J. Simpson,
experiences an impulse such as anger, he
immediately indulges it
by strangling his son Bart.
What are some of the ways each of us
could have submitted to the tyranny of rage,
in the past?
What separates the Boobs from the Bodhisattvas?
NOT liberation from the Presence of rage,
BUT liberation from it’s Tyranny.
By making full use of the easy techniques he
has learned from his teacher, a
Bodhisattva will do much more then merely
endure the energy of rage.
He will actually harness it’s energy and
put it to work, fueling his journey
further upon Buddha’s path’s of
• Devotion,
• Awareness,
• Love and
• Letting-go!
O.K., then what’s difference between a
Bodhisattva and a Buddha?
Do the Buddha’s have a special technique, a
secret hand-shake or
a cereal-box decoder-ring that
the Bodhisattva’s do not?
Nope, a Buddha possess the same
knowledge and skills that a
highly trained Bodhisattva does.
The difference comes down to one word:
Mastery!
What a Bodhisattva does with
effort and contrivance, a
Buddha does:
• spontaneously,
• habitually,
• easily and
• effectively.
We’ve all been boobs,
few of us become Buddhas.
A week does not go by, without some
self-important fool writing me to boast of

spiritual growth even more than
convenience and pride?
