I've read Buddhist texts before. I always assumed it was the teacher that was painfully boring, but now I've come to the realization that the religion as a whole is just lackluster and boring to me. All the emphasis on prayer above all else - prayer to the point that (I believe the teacher said a t-rex) could barge into the room and you wouldn't notice. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Humans are distractable not because we're weak, but because as apex hunters it kept us alive - we were able to quickly spot and react to threats and food sources. I give up. Screw Buddhism. ( )
