The Buddha is not pleased by my statement that he sounds like me. He asks me to consider whether or not I may be dreaming. I concede that I may well be dreaming, and then I ask him if he might consider the same thing. But again he is not pleased and I feel the need to atone for my rudeness.
How may I atone for my rudeness, Lord Buddha?
It will take a thousand years of repeating sutras.
Is there anything I could do to speed things up?
Let me think. Yes. I shall set you a task, a quest. The quest will be a fitting one. You must find out why there are no green stars in the sky.
Yes, Lord Buddha, thank you Lord Buddha. I will find out why there are no green stars in the sky.
And then you must let me know.
Yes, Lord Buddha. I will let you know. Do you not know?
Of course I know.
Then may I have a clue?
It is to do with the temperatures of the stars and the wavelength at which they emit most of their light. It is also to do with........but you are a sly one! tricking me into telling you the answers myself. Be off with you, and no more questions.
Just one?
What is it?
Am I allowed to use Google?
Certainly. Good luck though. You will find a great deal of confusion on the subject there.
