David Amerland writes: “I had time on my hands this Sunday as the internet was down so I found myself indulging in my other pastime: museums. This one had me thinking deep. This is a remarkable statue dating to Roman Times in North Western Greece so it is approximately 1900 years old. It is very well preserved but what it depicts is of greater interest.

It shows Hercules as an old man. Draped over his right shoulder is the hide of the lion he killed as one of his labors. But gone is the vigor of youth. No more bulging muscles or chiselled cheekbones. His face is round. His body soft, slightly rotund. The usual steely gaze replaced by a more thoughtful mien.”

“When a ruler is silent on the subject of virtue,  the people are discouraged from practicing it. Meanwhile, a ruler who revels in riches encourages thievery. Value virtue over wealth, and the people’s hearts will be at rest. Wise rulers do not accumulate treasures,  but seek to quiet the hearts of their people.  They soothe the people’s appetites and strengthen their bones. They treasure innocence,  and protect the simple from the schemes of the clever. When a ruler practices restraint, everything will be in peace.” Chapter 3

“The Tao that can be understood  is not the eternal, cosmic Tao,  just as an idea that can be expressed in words is not the infinite idea. And yet this ineffable Tao  is the source of all spirit and matter; expressing itself,  it is the mother of all created things. Not to desire material things  is to know the freedom of spirituality; and to desire them is to suffer  the limitations of matter. Yet these two things, matter and spirit, so different in nature, have the same origin. This unity is the mystery of mysteries, and the gateway to spirituality.” Chapter 1

Still hard to get over the fall of Bill Cosby. Some of my fondest memories are growing up listening to Bill’s comedy albums with my dad. Albums like Bill Cosby is a Very Funny Fellow… Right:

The Dalai Lama: My Spiritual Journey

The spiritual legacy of a ‘big hitter’…

Not familiar with the ‘big hitter’ part? It comes from the movie Caddyshack…

Carl Spackler’s iconic Dalai Lama monologue is one of the most famous improvised scenes in comedy history. He tells the story of becoming a “looper” in the Himalayas and caddying for the religious leader. [1, 2]

The legendary dialogue from the 1980 classic Caddyshack goes like this: [2, 3]

In this scene, Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) recounts to Angie D’Annunzio how he once caddied for the Dalai Lama in the Himalayas. After witnessing the Lama hit a long ball into a crevasse, Carl recalls the Lama’s famous, nonsensical words: “Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga.” Upon finishing the round, Carl expects a tip, but instead receives a promise of “total consciousness” on his deathbed, concluding with the iconic line, “So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice”. [2, 3]

You can find the full script and additional quotes on the IMDb Caddyshack Quotes page. [1]
