Greetings,
Most advertisements suck.... however, these ones are surprisingly cool...

Fully Loaded Man" ad... whom to be honest, is a poor man's Barry "The Cougar" Dawson... but points for trying.

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra PanyapatipoDharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.

This cracks me up
Oh yeah, that is a classic.
Made in New Zealand apparently... unlike the beer itself which is brewed here in Melbourne.
On a side note, apparently my brother is going to be (presumably an extra?) in a beer ad... so hopefully it's as good!

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Ok you guys. But this is absolutely the very last post, I mean it this time.
