And I thought I knew a fair amount about Buddhism! You should re-title this article “Things you don’t know, a Buddhist speaks”

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Hey Tim,

Fantastic interview and I’m all for having much more humour in blog posts! I only just found your blog recently and I’m loving it! :-)

As a followup. Someone one said that explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog.

When you’re finished, you may understand the frog better, but you no longer have a frog (just bits spread out on the table)

My apologies Bodhipaksa, for dissecting your frog.

I think the joke punchline “not two” is a play on words – “not to” as in don’t change the light bulb. The light bulb if fine as it is. Grace (above) may also be right…

“Not two”, or “nondual” means a sense of unity with all there is.

You’re welcome.

Great interview! thank you to both of you.

The joke: “not two” refers to nonduality.

I laughed. :)
