Can Buddhism be FUNNY, Ajahn Brahm?

Ajahn Brahm (BWSA, YouTube, Amazon); Seth Auberon, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
His name is Budai, Putai, or Hotei. He is a Fat Happy Laughing Bodhisattva not a Buddha.

Who ordered this shit?
The 108 humorous short pieces in Ajahn Brahm's  international bestseller Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung? offer thoughtful commentary on everything from love and commitment to fear and pain.

Drawing from his rich life experience growing up in Britain and moving to the forests of Northeast Thailand, as well as traditional Buddhist folk tales, author Ajahn Brahm uses over 30 years of spiritual growth as a Theravada Buddhist monk under Ajahn Chah to spin delightful tales that can be enjoyed in silence or read aloud to friends and family.

(Happy Reader) Here's the title story about a truckload of dung.

Featuring titles such as "The Two-Finger Smile" and "The Worm and His Lovely Pile of Dung," these wry and witty stories provide playful, pithy takes on the basic building blocks of everyday life.

Suitable for children, adults, and anyone in between, this eloquent volume wraps insight and inspiration inside of a good old yarn. More
