I read the Tao of Pooh. Does the documentary mention any cartoon characters?

Yes, the Buddha...he who ate his own pooh so that he could "transcend" or something.

/if you're eating pooh, your own or not, I don't really think I'm going to want to hear much more of your philosophy.

I dont also believe an empty mind is the way to enlightenment. You get that by chanting religious phrases over and over again. Funny how Christian monks did the same thing.

To get a truly empty mind read the Outpost daily and watch cable tv

The Buddha cleared his mind, and realized there was nothing to know.

That is the truth of enlightenment.
