A friend sent this to me and I thought it was cute, so I share it here....It also reminded me of a cute story from my son the other day. His class was discussing the Buddhist religion and had just gone over the stages of enlightenment, ending with the achievement of nirvana. The teacher was then discussing the Dalai Lama. She said he was the holiest person in the religion. My son raises his hand and asks, "If he is so good, why hasn't he reached Nirvana? Why is he on Earth?" The teacher stammered, "Well, he is like Buddha's gift to the world." Evan was not convinced, "I don't know, it sounds like this religion has a lot of plot holes!"
