Dalai Lama ends speech on World Peace by saying 'F**k it'

[BrownEye]

Pardon your Holiness? Dalai Lama ends speech on World Peace by saying 'F**k it' (according to the stenographer that is...)
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, who is considered by his followers to be the very manifestation of the bodhisattva of compassion, isn't known for swearing like an angry docker.


Hence the surprise of an audience of students at Brown University in Rhode Island, when at the end of a speech on world peace, he appeared to utter some distinctly unholy language.

Closed caption screens in the auditorium were showing subtitles of the event, and a stenographer transcribing the speech appeared to think His Holiness had uttered the words, 'F**k it'.

Those relying on the screens to understand what the Dalai Lama had said would have been led to believe that the man, who for many is the very embodiment of compassion and a living God, had ended his speech in a rather sweary manner.

The exiled Tibetan leader was in fact urging listeners to share his thoughts with others if they found them interesting. If not, he said, they could “forget.”

The Dalai Lama was delivering the memorial lecture to 5,600 people at Brown University on Wednesday, inside the Rhode Island Convention Centre in Providence

A Brown spokeswoman confirmed he said “forget” and said the closed captioning that appeared was an error.

Nearing the end of the speech the 77-year-old said: 'If you feel these points are not much relevant - not much interest - then forget.'

It was then that the mistake by the hapless, and no doubt embarrassed, stenographer occurred.

Brown University subsequently commented on the situation telling the Daily News: 'The Dalai Lama's last word of the day, verified by his personal translator, was “forget”.

I'm sure this happens all the time...

Oh wait, it doesn't. Universities are a part of a system. They are heavily dependent on federal money at this point in time. One of the things they have to do to get maximum federal funding every year is raise tuition x percent. Many of the people that predicted the housing crisis are now predicting an education crisis as we have been brainwashed into feeling we need a piece of paper that allows us to procure gainful employment. Cost of education is progressing far ahead of inflation, similar to house prices in early 2000.

Luckily, the energy of the planet is progressing much too quickly for this to matter.

I once found this inspirational sounding buddhist video that had a bunch of dudes and music and the idea that "there is this revolutionary relaxation technique called fuckitall" against that backdrop, i prefer the misheard to the original.

I could try that as a mantra.... do you think it would be effective?

:p

:p

Lets see:

First word implies rough form of "to make love to"
Second word specifies that next word is what previous word will be connected to or in reference to.
Third word is all/one/whole.

so. "i wish to make rough love to all that there is"

yes it would work. Feel free to use it.

EDIT: that is, assuming, you can withstand what ever wants to make rough rough humpingness to you in return.

Rough rough humpingness. That's going in my book of classics.

Hmm i'll see how that line works on my wife.
