A la sombra de un gigante

When I was in Nepal
collecting Nepalese coins
the natives used to call me
kin-ton-ti
or "bodhisattva"

And everytime they say that to me
I was like, OMG!
is that a name?
is it infectious?
WTF?

Then, look what I've found:
 (bow-dee-saht-fah):
bodhisattva
an enlightened being who chooses not to proceed to nirvana
but instead remains on earth to guide others
in their paths toward enlightenment.

Two thumbs up!

:-)

Yeah, sure...
