a cynical former workmate, nay, two cynical former workmates believe that enlightenment, buddhist style, is a crock of shit. one thinks he is already enlightened, whilst the other reckons he found nirvana last week whilst eating leftover thai food following a big night out.

thanks in advance for your help
