Welcome. Can I ask you a question; what's the attraction to a fat chink? Wouldn't Jesus be a better choice?

I don't know what the attraction of a 'fat chink' as you say is because I don't worship one.

Um, if you're a buddhist you worship a fat chink. A fat, lazy chink if you ask me who did nothing but sit there living on the donations of the working poor. How can you be proud of that?

Um, only some Zen buddhsits in CHINA (or Japan) worship this deity. As for the other Buddhsits, it depends on which sect you follow and also which country the sect is from. I am a Tibetan Buddhist.

When he said he didn't worship a fat chink I think it was supposed to be one of those demonic koan things that buddhists worship. A buddhist who doesn't worship a fat chink is a lot like the sound of one hand clapping.

And I have no idea why you would choose to reject Jesus and worship a fat chink, so I guess we're about even. Well, except for the fact that I'm not going to Hell for worshipping a fat chink.

They're a bunch of Jewboys who think they're negroes. Buddhists worship them. I think they think they're the reincarnation of Biggie and TuPac or some Oriental nonsense like that.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

I see.
Zen buddhists don't worship a deity -- they're atheist -- and the Buddha was a person, not a god.
Tibetan buddhists, on the other hand, worship a whole pantheon of pagan demons.
Quote:
Iconography of Wrathful Deities
The wrathful protective deities are depicted in sculptures, paintings and masks as figures with stout bodies, short but thick limbs, several heads and a great number of hands and feet. They have scowling  faces, a third eye and disheveled hair, and they wear crowns of skulls or severed heads. They are often depicted treading on animals and in the company of a female consort.
The color of their faces and bodies is frequently compared with the characteristic hue of clouds, precious stones, or other natural objects. Thus we often read in the Sadhanas (canonical texts) that one or the other wrathful deity is black "like the cloud which appears at the end of a kalpa (aeon)", blue "like an emerald" or white "like a mountain of crystal". The yellow color is compared to that of pure gold, and the red color of some of them is supposed to be "like the hue produced when the sun rises and its rays strike a huge mountain of coral."
Their faces possess a typical wrathful expression: the mouth is contorted to an angry smile, from its corners protrude long fangs - often said to be of copper or iron - or the upper teeth gnaw the lower lip. A "mist of illnesses" comes forth from the mouth and a terrific storm is supposed to be blowing from the nostrils of the flat nose. The protruding, bloodshot eyes have an angry and staring expression and usually a third eye is visible in the middle of the forehead.

Tell me, which is your favorite demon? How many children did you sacrifice to it this month?

Dern, I was hoping for a Zen Buddhist. I am fond of those Zen haiku thingies.
Frog sits on my shoe,
Raindrops tap my old bald head...
Then my pants fall down.
Or this one, given when Mikiko Wabasha was asked the meaning of death:
Old bones in a pot,
Void shouts with silent thunder:
Where are my car keys?
I especially like the ones with literary references in them.
I read Kafka and
fear comes: reincarnated
as a big cockroach!
Hopefully, IAmBuddhist, you will lighten our forum with some gems of Buddhist wit.

I too studied the great Koans Brother OEJ, that is before I found Jesus.
My favorate Koan:
"If you meet the Buddha along the road - kill him".
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
...and get off my lawn

I wonder what manner of koan a Tibetan Buddhist would come up with?
Something about lamas pulling the wool over one's eyes, I'd wager.

Use your common sense. You can follow any tradition from any country if there temples or monks or any teachers. There are a lot over here in England.
