Actually, I am a Buddhist. I actually got one of those as a gift. All of my zen friends loved it and some want to know where to get one. That’s what prompted me to find this on You Tube.

So, if anyone knows where to get one, please speak up.

As for this being offensive in a hotel room to anyone. I guess that’s an individual reaction to have. Given that this is San Francisco, I imagine this is just a kitchy little thing to have a zen is so popular in our culture. That’s all. Nothing more or less. That’s how I and my friends thought of it as something funny and kitchy and, although I’m a serious zen practioner, it’s fun to have some kitch.

Mine has a switch at the bottom to turn it on and off. It’s really bright and, for sure, would keep you up at night if it didn’t turn off.

cheers,

Since you’re having trouble comprehending the situation, a visible, glowing, transparent Buddha would be annoying and make it difficult for most of us (probably even some Buddhists) to sleep. The same would hold true if the glowing Buddha were replaced with a glowing ‘Howdy-Doody”doll.

A Gideon Bible placed in a drawer would create no such annoyance. Neither would a Koran, a Torah, or a book on Wiccan ceremonies.

Just stating the obvious for you and other slow-on-the-uptake leftists who can’t understand the difference between an anti-alternative-religion rant and someone expressing their annoyance with gaudy hotel decor.

Same as the glowing Buddha or not?

Thanks! Keep up the good work!!!
