Step 1: Go out into the woods.Step 2: Sit under a tree in just your underwear.Step 3: Wait.Step 4: If the itching isn’t noticeable by day 5, pick a different tree.Step 5: By day 21, check the following – [] Have I starved to death? [] Am I enlightened?Step 6: If you checked no to both questions, return to Step 3.Step 7: If you are not dead, congratulations!
this comic is probably not entirely fair to buddhism because i understand the scientific method a lot better than i understand the steps to enlightenment. if you’re enlightened, um, please let me know?
It’s really a win-win-win situation. This is the way it works:1. The monks get God to make sucker bets.2. The victim goes to the monks and offers them half what he would pay if he loses the bet.3. The monks ‘settle’ for 90%.4. The victim pays up and gets enlightened.5. The monks split their take with God.So the sucker gets enlightenent, and the monks and God get cash.

T-Rex is already way ahead of the game since when he talks to god, god talks back, even if it is to sucker T-R into a sucker bet.
