"When you can eat cake and shit with the same delight,you are truly enlightened"
Don't give me that look! See for yourself!

I read stories about Drukpa Kunley years ago in 'The Divine Madman'. Its really a kind of smutty narrated soft porn disguised as 'wisdom' which mocks teachers and institutions.... but so what?...for me that's not Dhamma. I suppose it comes under 'folk tales'.
As for the folk tradition in Bhutan about large decorative penises, well, what can I say, I found it all a little sad when I first knew about it !

In a so-called 'Buddhist country' none of that has got anything to do with a monk with a begging bowl called the Buddha.
