Yesterday, I was at Ipoh Parade in a coffee shop looking for a place to plug in my laptop to take advantage of the free Internet when I came across the sight of a reclining Buddhist monk surfing the net on his laptop which was gold colored and very flashy looking.
I just thought this was funny….It reminds me of the time I visited a Hindu temple at the behest of my wife to see a visiting holy man only find he had cell phone around his neck and kept pausing during the ceremony that followed to receive and send sms’.
That sight of that Buddhist monk in his robes and mandatory poverty and the laptop and the implied contradiction made my day!
