Buddhist Power Wagon



from Michael Moore: 
"So I was reading Peter Coyote’s recent memoir “The Rainman’s Third Cure” which after many wanderings and tales outrageous ends with him, by then [and now, no lie] an ordained Buddhist priest, with his college friend Terry Bisson taking delivery of the Dodge portrayed here from Vintage Power Wagons in Iowa and heading west to the accolades it well deserves …at some gas stop in the heartland an old guy shouts out “great vehicle”, which by coincidence also describes a Buddhist philosophy [as opposed to the “lesser vehicle”; you’d have to read into his succinct exposition to really get the full import; page 270]…"--MSM
