"Kill the Buddha" com...Thanks, Catherine. "Kill the Buddha" comes from a famous quote by Lin Chi, a Ninth-Century Buddhist master: "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." It means basically that it's important not to fetishize / idolize anything, because doing so creates attachment, which in turn causes suffering. <br /> <br />It's an evocative phrase. Many writers have used it. In my story, it means something quite different than the traditional interpretation.Elizabeth Twisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133959633383307056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729289955062416774.post-23767074546472702692012-06-03T01:41:43.386-04:002012-06-03T01:41:43.386-04:00That sounds great, Andrew.

I've been commiserating with my writer friends as they dropped out of the final rounds of cuts. <br /><br />Your story sounds great. It's interesting it terms of what I was talking about on my blog, isn't it, putting real life experience into stories. Yet, it sounds like you've used that as a springboard for your story. <br /><br />I'm so pleased for you. You rock.
