Can you tell me more about this new religion - Aqua-Buddhism ??


Does it believe in the Eight-Fold Path? And what role do "bongs" play in this religion?

Also, do you have to worship beside water for the religion to be effective?

And what's the purpose of blindfolding women? Does it have something to do with justice?

A very interesting religion, especially the "bongs"...

1. I'm wondering if you have to like meatballs to join it.
Or not like them.

2. I always think of Aqua Velva when I hear Aqua Budha.
I wonder if it smells good?

7. It sounds sort of childish, but probably involves a SHITLOAD of bong hits.

8. I think the Eight-Fold Path becomes the Eight Swimming Lanes of Exercise
One must choose a lane and do 20 lengths, spinning a prayer wheel at the end of each.

10. Buddhism is not a religion, its a Philosophy,
Don't know what Aqua is about.

11. Although any religion can be used as a philosophy, Buddhism is a religion.
Most organized Buddhist groups believe Buddhism is a religion, which is why they receive the religious tax exempt status here in the US.
