MONK SUES TWITTER FOR $3.1BN FOR BREACH OF COPYRIGHT

The quality of the here and now, the present moment, what am i doing right now, has never been more in. Monks have been at it for years without needing to publicize their every waking thought and action. Then along comes some tech-head who plugs in a few wires, rips off the idea of ‘thisnessing’ and in doing so, makes a few bob. Fair play to him or not? If Tibet got their act together, they could take the IP of their belief to Brussels and let the laws that be decide who’s in breach of who.

One more muddled question: If Buddhists only ever truly live in the present moment, how will they know if they came up with the idea first?
