THOUGHT MOMENTS:

"IN BUDDHISM, THE MENTAL STATES EXPERIENCED AFTER A PHYSICAL OR MENTAL OBJECT ENTERS THE MIND ARE CALLED THOUGHT MOMENTS. DURING INTERVIEW S ON THE CITY STREETS, THE MICRO-EXPRESSIONS OF THE INTERVIEWEES ARE SLOWED DOWN AND EYE DIRECTION IS TRACKED, HIGHLIGHTING THE RESPONSES TO TEN SIMPLE QUESTIONS."

A  SILLY (BUT SOMEHOW KINDA COOL) HOMEMADE AMATEUR RAP ABOUT BUDDHISM'S FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS.

NOT SURE WHY THE SECOND HALF TURNS

THE 1000-HAND GUAN YIN:

THANKS TO JAMES FORD, ROSHI, FOR FINDING IT -- IT'S REALLY GETTING AROUND.

THE INFAMOUS YOPLAIT SPOT:

BUDDHISTS MAY SAY THAT LOVE IS THEIR RELIGION, BUT YOU'D BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND A SINGLE ONE WHO DOESN'T REALLY, REALLY DISLIKE THIS INSIPID YOGURT COMMERCIAL.

THE HEART SUTRA MASH-UP

D.I.Y. AND KINDA COOL.

INSULTING TO BUDDHISM?

APPARENTLY THIS AD FROM HONG KONG WAS BANNED FOR BEING JUST THAT.

(GEE, REALLY?)

WONDER IF THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN IN THE STATES?
