crtDzyn Posted December 2, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2008 So Buddah died, and his followers dismembered his dead carcass and put him in a bunch of little boxes? Right on Buddists! Isn't that how you're supposed to show someone that you value their ideals? I would totally ball out one of those pagoda's in my family room... skull fragment included. It would be quite the conversation piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
