Apparently there is a bar here in Denver, Colorado called, "The Funky Buddha Lounge" and that in and of itself is disgusting and disturbing.However, (according to the local news) the other day there was a fight in the parking lot that killed one person. How ignorant and shameful that a bar would use and abuse the name and sacredness of the Buddha in such a way. It is beyond ironicly sad that a person would die a violent death by the hands of a fellow patron of, "The Funky Buddha Lounge!!!"
This misuse and manipulation of the Buddha's image to sell products is nothing new but using it to promote a club/bar??? That is going beyond too far. A bar titled, "The Jesus Lounge: where we turn water into wine" would never fly and there would be so much protest about it that it would never survive but somehow no one cares about using the Buddha in such a way.
Shameful.
-Peace to all beings-
