Just found this gem while browsing terebess.hu:
Not long ago in Kyoto, there was a priest known as Bobo Rōshi, “Friar Fuck.” A model trainee for twenty years, Bobo was getting nowhere in his practice and one day, confused and disheartened, he decided to visit the Shimabara pleasure district. At the instant of his first orgasm in years, Bobo underwent a wrenching satori. His experience was recognized as genuine and, it is said, he continued to visit Shimabara every once in a while to deepen his understanding of Zen. Appropriately, Bobo Rōshi's grave is marked by a giant stone phallus.

COMMENT: talk about dropping a load! Enlightenment comes in unexpected places. Perhaps some of the keyboard warriors on this sub would be better off giving their local prostitute a call.
