Last words of the Buddha

[Guest guest]

Dear Harsha,

 

thanks for the information about the Buddha's last words. I am so sorry to

hear that you are going through a stressful time in your life. If I may make

a totally immature and irresponsible suggestion, why not get yourself a

video of some old comedy such as The Munster Family or I Love Lucy or the

like, and enjoy some innocent fun for a little while.

 

I am being serious about the importance of having fun! To quote Thomas

Sydenham, a famous 17th-century medicus, "the arrival of one good clown in a

village has more healing power than the arrival of thirty donkeys laden with

medicines." And in one of his books, Dr. Raymond Moody tells about a cancer

patient who watched light-hearted comedies for many hours a day, with the

result that he was free of that cancer after a few weeks' time.

 

As regards a contribution to the HS magazine, I feel honored that you should

ask me (or probably you are just desperate!). Let me think about this for a

little while. Is there a deadline?

 

All the best,

 

Michael
