Satura Apologia Today

South Asia – A local Buddhist man finally achieved Nirvana after a lifelong struggle to eliminate desire. After terminating all desires, the last desire to go was Buddhism.

            “At last, I have attained Nirvana.” The thrilled Buddhist told confused Buddhist monks. “Once I had eliminated desire for my wife, noodles, and killing geese all that was left to go was Buddhism.”

            “No, no, I am quite sure that is not what I meant when I told my followers to forsake desire.” The Buddha said, upon learning that one of his followers had forsaken the desire to follow him. “When I said forsake desire, I meant that I give up things like my hair, my dignity, cheese, and worldly desires, not Buddhism.”

            The recently lapsed Buddhist refused our request for comment, saying that he had no desire to say anything.
