Word Zendo
Re: Word Zendo
The Master is surprised to see that we have reached the top of yet another page, but he hopes one of the students will get this soon, as the Buddha is getting a little impatient! (He is always full of his own importance)
Buddha's diamond star words: Old Mother Hubbard, debauchedness

Re: Word Zendo
Surely the Buddha prefers Mastermind to the Catherine Tate show?
Re: Word Zendo
In fact the Buddha is happy to watch either Mastermind or Catherine Tate.
Re: Word Zendo
The Buddha seems to have developed a rather irritating like of nursery rhymes! I have heard nothing today but Humpty Dumpty, Little Jack Horner, and especially Old Mother Hubbard - I think that must be his favourite!
Re: Word Zendo
Does the Buddha like to go out to the theatre? More specifically does he prefer the ballet to the opera?
Re: Word Zendo
THe Buddha is pleased with student LAT, as he does indeed prefer the ballet to the opera.

Re: Word Zendo
I think the Buddha might prefer debauchedness to sobriety.

Re: Word Zendo
The Buddha is indeed a great fan of debauchedness, and finds sobriety rather unexciting!

Re: Word Zendo
Since I am also a fan of debauchedness, I would like to take a guess, please. I think the words need to have as many letters as possible from the word Buddha.

Re: Word Zendo
Student Bunnylump has correctly ascertained what pleases the Buddha. In fact he originally stipulated that words should contain at least two letters from his name, and later decided to help the students by awarding silver, gold, platinum and diamond stars to those containing three, four, five and six letters from it.
Congratulations, and I am pleased to pass over the mantle to you!

Re: Word Zendo
Oh goodness, why don't I ever learn to keep my mouth shut?
I have to think of another one now!

Re: Word Zendo
Thank you Evilkeen, you have been Master such a long time, we were extremely unworthy pupils. However, I have now, in trepidation, taken the mantle, and hope that I can live up to this high standard.
I have spoken to the somewhat self-obsessed Buddha, and he tells me that he would love a visit from Batwoman. However, he has no interest whatsoever in meeting Superman.

Re: Word Zendo
Might I enquire, oh learned master (your mantle hangs a little oddly at the back, perhaps you should cut a small hole for your tail) does the Buddha ever play children's games? And would he choose oranges or lemons?

Re: Word Zendo
You are correct, student Simon. Indeed it it far better to be honest and not tell lies. However, since the Buddha is both dignified and old, he does not play oranges or lemons.
Buddha's delight
Batwoman, Honest, Weighty, tent, gets even
Buddha's despair
Lies, Superman, oranges, lemons, trivial, caravan, nice, heavy, light
Buddha's chums

I have an idea, but I need confirmation.
Does the Buddha prefer to consider weighty topics to trivial matters?

Re: Word Zendo
Student Simon, I feel that you are very perceptive. The Buddha prefers weighty matters to trivial ones.

Re: Word Zendo
Is it true that the Buddha gets even with rivals, whilst pretending to be nice to them?
edit: I feel I ought to point out that evilkeen was only Master for a few days. I know it felt like longer, but it wasn't really

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Re: Word Zendo
If the Buddha were to go camping would he prefer to stay in a tent to a caravan?
Re: Word Zendo
Hmm, it was beginning to feel like that, I was beginning to think the Buddha had made the rule too difficult!Scurra wrote:I feel I ought to point out that evilkeen was only Master for a few days. I know it felt like longer, but it wasn't really
Anyway, would the Buddha prefer offerings which are heavy rather than light?
