I'm sure you're thinking what I'm thinking!There's definitely a joke I could come back with there. But this will get out of hand. And the thread will be further derailed and I'll get banned.

"Oh great bodhisattva, you ought to understand the quintessence in this way: Whatever appears is one in its suchness. It cannot be falsified by anyone. The sovereign of unconceptualised sameness dwells in the spirit of the Dharmakaya which cannot be cognised."

Abandoning Dharma is, in the final analysis, disparaging the Hinayana because of the Mahayana; favoring the Hinayana on account of the Mahayana; playing off sutra against tantra; playing off the four classes of the tantras against each other; favoring one of the Tibetan schools—the Sakya, Gelug, Kagyu, or Nyingma—and disparaging the rest; and so on. In other words, we abandon Dharma any time we favor our own tenets and disparage the rest.

My understanding, in Trungpa Rinpoche's words, is that "the blessing doesn't last very long".

Assuming, of course, an interest in the opposite sex.
There are other possibilities.

Sorry, I forgot. Really.
