If A Buddha were born today, Ajahn Brahm. It might be a black lesbian female. Great video.

Seriously this is a really good video from a monk who is asked what birth a Buddha might take today. Here's the link, please watch and comment on it.

I'm not surprised by his answer. He's answer makes sense to me!

Besides being a great teacher, he has a wonderful sense of humor too. He has talks on Youtube that I watch regularly.

During the BP oil disaster, I was very distraught about the death, suffering and destruction. I wrote to him about and asked him how to handle it. He answered in one of his Youtube talks. I was the "lady from Texas." It was touching.

Here's a link to his talks if anyone is interested:

tells people he lives in a cave. I know he's serious but just the ability to be able to say that to people makes me laugh every time I hear it.
