[PadmaVonSamba]

are you requesting some,
asking about such a concept,
or wondering if that would be a good name for a new rock band?

Vajrasattva. If they were really bad, Akshobhya.

You iz no fun . . .

There is a wonderful story of a (I think it was a PureLand Buddhist Master) who had a disturbing dream

In it he saw himself in the God Realm
He called his fellow monks together and with tears in his eyes
he recounted the portent dream
pleading they pray that he be sent to the hell realms
to rescue the beings dwelling there.

A true Bodhisattva or a silly old fool?

I believe picnic excursions to hell realms
and close down and desist notices are far more effective.
I will come and do the boiling alive and tap dancing - I have the feet for it . . .

Meanwhile any plans for living?
OM YA HA HUM
