Could I please ask the Master whether the Buddha would prefer his dinner cooked in an oven rather than on a barbecue?

Top of the page update:

Student evilkeen, I am sorry to say that the buddha approves of neither an oven nor a barbecue. He would much rather use a stove to cook his meals.

Master Kingsley, thank you for that advice. May I introduce two friends to the Buddha, but I think he will like Steve better than Viv.

Student evilkeen, on the contrary once again, the buddha says he much prefers Viv to Steve.

Master Buddha,
May I inquire whether the buddha prefers to go on holiday to Spain or Fiji

Student fernando, the buddha never goes on holiday to Spain or Fiji. He much prefers New Zealand and Mexico.

Would the master like to consider that he prefers puzzlebrains to the runes

Student fernando, the buddha does indeed prefer puzzlebrains to the runes.

That means that you and LAT are now entitled to guess at the rule.

All my theories keep collapsing.

Would the master appreciate Wallace in preference to Gromit?

Student Scurra, the buddha prefers Gromit to Wallace who he dislikes just as much as Shaun the sheep.
Student fernando, the buddha doesn't like to be underweight or overweight as he says it is unhealthy to be either. He says he likes to be 'just right'.

I just wish I knew how I'd managed to get a correct assumption. :?

May I ask whether the Buddha would prefer to have a game of Scrabble rather than play Monopoly?

I know how you feel LAT. I thought that I would guess a couple of words and hope for the best and it was correct.

I was hoping that maybe you'd had a brainwave because this zendo is really aggrivating. :twisted:

You have a theory!!?? :?

I wonder whether when the Buddha is meditating would he prefer to contemplate the mass of an object rather than it's weight?

Student Cenwulf, the buddha does not play Scrabble or Monopoly.
Student evilkeen, the buddha does indeed prefer to contemplate an object's mass rather then it's weight. You are also entitled a guess.
evilkeen wrote:You have a theory!!?? :?
Perhaps you need some more help then?
The buddha looks very favourably on foxes and raccoons, but thinks chimpanzees and parrots are hideous creatures. As for his favourite colours, he is fond of brown and violet, but not yellow or blue.

I hope this helps. (I'm sorry it's quite hard, but I accidentally did it wrong in my first post so the buddha altered the rule slightly! :oops: )

I wonder if, having spotted a mistake, the Buddha went crying to Daddy in preference to Mummy?

edit: I have changed my guess. Sorry.

Student Scurra, the buddha went crying to his uncle, not his Mummy or Daddy.

Alas, I actually thought that might be the case, even after I changed it... Waaaaaaaah!

Well if you realised that it was wrong before it had been confirmed, then you must be getting somewhere.

The buddha would like to tell you that he would much rather be wrong than right.
