I Hate Buddha
All I know about him is
that he was no good father-no good son-no good husband. Goodness me! Can you
believe it-this guy renounce kingship-I mean the best comfort which every
people yearns for. Must have lost his
mind-otherwise who on this earth will throw away his rich family wealth and
power-and that too when you are sound-27 bloody years old-who would? I am damn sure you won’t disagree-Beautiful
princess, lovely son and heir to golden throne comes not to all-any people
would envy him; but here we find this guy who sneak out into the wilderness
relinquishing what every soul on earth lives for.
I heard a lot about
him; he talks about suffering-nirvana-karma. Do you think I really care about
it…sorry to say this but I find Kurt Cobain’s nirvana sexier than Buddha’s
Nirvana. And who the hell is this Karma?
There are so many Karmas here-I hope he is not talking about my friend whose
name is Karma Dorji. And suffering-it’s just
a pain in the ass-we got to deal with it-like it or not. Perhaps money can rub off suffering-better
run after money.
Must be really mad-I
have to smirk here-how can you go around holding a bowl begging for food when
you were destined to be a king. Ask any man on this world-they will definitely
choose king over beggar-after all who wants to starve to death. Be honest when I ask you-lets say you are
given a choice either to become a yogi or to become a common man-which one
would you like to go for? If you are saying "yogi" then I hope you must have
thought millions times before uttering the word, “Yogi.”
Know what! I have to see Buddha once-and there I will tell him
all that I am telling you. Right before his
face I will yell , “BUDDHA I HATE YOU!”
Why shouldn't I say this-he is all crap!
Then I saw him…

He was just there-I
felt as if he was always meant to be there.
Emanating-easing-he looked so effortless. I admit it was indeed mind boggling moment
for me but I recollected myself- many times and kept reminding myself, “Hey you!
Are not going to say you hate Buddha-step forward buddy you are very close now!”
Heavy! Can’t explain-my
steps were getting gentle as I walked forward-I don’t know why eyes got fixed at
him. And my heart-had nothing-my
mind-was all glass-empty. It was so easy
to be there-his eyes were gently closed and in lotus posture I saw him. Can you believe it-a man who came to yell at
Buddha was found supplicating before him-his teary eyes-his clasped hands rested
on his chest and his lips quivering could only manage to whine like a lost
puppy, “Lord! I hate you! Lord I hate!
You have been so kind! so kind!" Your voice breaks buddy-so does your heart.
No prize without a sacrifice buddy. And when one is willing to sacrifice for a better cause, one becomes a much stronger person and it is indeed the strong who have the potential to change, be it person, situation or the world itself. Peace out!!
