I have a pretty good sense of humor--I like to laugh a lot and make other people laugh. I think that laughing a lot is an important part of living a happy life. I have noticed over time that there are are quite a few Buddhists who take themselves a bit too seriously. I have been to meditation sessions where you try to joke and laugh a bit and get grumbles and frowns in response. As well as people who seem a bit attached to the "letter of law" in Buddhism who often walk around obsessed with trying to "ensure" people are, "Doing it right." (It, meaning Buddhism). Well to those who think that humor has no place in Buddhism and that we must always be serious, reserved and well-mannered all the time then you need to re-aquaint yourself with His Holiness the Dalai Lama:

No matter what religion, there are those who simply can't laugh at a good joke or hearty fart.
It's too bad. They are missing out on all the fun. Continue laughing...after all is said and done, what is there left to do?
I love the wonderful photos with
this posting. I never knew that the
Dalai Lama had such a funny, outgoing
personality.
Thank you.
Thank you James! We all need to laugh a little more :)
I for one like my laugh-induced crows-feet :)
