Went to the NCF Co-op with my dad today, we were getting a new light fixture for the kitchen. Of all the things they sell there, this Buddha statue caught my eye. There he was, sitting in the garden ornament section, surrounded by little bird and frog figurines laughing away to himself. I didn't see any crucifixes for sale there. There's a thought, what would you rather have in your shrubbery? A jolly looking fat man having the craic or a gaunt man, splattered with blood, wearing a crown made of thorns, nailed to a grim looking cross section of wood? NCF were right in choosing Buddhism as the religion of its chain of shops. And our gardens are all the cheerier for it.
