Cool

You could shoot firecrackers (Taiwan) and pour water (Thailand) for Buddhist religious festivals.

Devnet,

sorry to disillusion you but here in Asia Buddhism for the general population involves less meditation and more kowtowing in front of various statues. Banging your head on the floor in front of the statue is not only going to give you backache but headache also

Best thing about buddhism - buddhist temples are good places where to find nice veggie food - no chicken feet, pork intestines, and various other chinese delicacies...

Philechat - in the words of Telly Savalas, "bald is beautiful, baby"
