Mercury in Retrograde

[Drunk Monk]

Doesn't reincarnation go hand in hand with karma? 

That'd make a nice koan.

I was thinking more in terms of Buddhist Hell - a topic I started to discuss here but abandoned - http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=1819

Theoretically (and this is something to discuss with a Buddhist monk or scholar) nirvana is extinction - the cessation of karma - which begs a question about cessation: is it cessation of good and evil? And if not, if we believe that cessation can be either good or bad, perhaps the spinning pizza wheel of death is the negative nirvana. The wheel is a major Buddhist symbol after all.
