Where do I get my "official Buddhist" membership card?

Nov 18, 2006 11:32

OK, so I've found out that I can't get it at Barnes and Noble or on the Internet... Everyone keeps telling me I'm not a "real Buddhist," and I don't understand, where they got their membership cards, and why I can't get one. What do I have to do to get one? Stop eating meat? Learn another language? Go to a temple? Who do I send a check and a letter ( Read more... )

you gotta do the truffle shuffle, and listen to Barry Manilow on repeat for 48 hours. then you are a buddhist.

It's a lesson in the folly of identity formation.

The best part about being a Real Buddhist is you get to know who all the other Real Buddhists are, and call out all the poseurs on the internet. It's a trip!

But even if you make it, you're in for a rough time, I'm afraid. We established this weekend that the Old Masters had a lock on the Truth, so as a girl, you're ALWAYS gonna be INFERIOR TO BOYS LIKE ME. If you would just bow each time you see me on buddhists, it might improve your karma enough to make you a boy next time.
