As Rap Says, "Pump It Up, Homeboy, Just Don't Stop!"

This battle can seem like it will never end: 

 Religious doofus' become "spiritual but not religious," former NewAgers become devout religious nuts, and Buddhists - well, believers will do anything but give it up. 

Check out the work of The Dalai Lama's buddy:

Eighteen years after the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult released deadly sarin nerve gas in the Tokyo subway, relatives and metro employees gathered in mourning at one of the stations where the attack took place. 

At 8 a.m. on March 20, around the time the attackers struck, 25 Tokyo Metro Co. staff of Kasumigaseki Station in Chiyoda Ward stood in silence in memory of the 13 victims, two of whom were staff members of the station. More than 6,000 people were affected by the gas. 

Some bereaved relatives were present too, adding flowers to a floral tribute and praying for the victims. 

Members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult punctured bags containing sarin, a deadly nerve agent, inside subway cars during the peak morning commuter period. They targeted trains near the central government district. 

The attack was ordered by cult leader Chizuo Matsumoto, also known as Shoko Asahara, now aged 58 and on death row. 

Aum Shinrikyo was later disbanded, only to reform under a new name, Aleph.

And, for most, that's all it'll take to make it all go away - and allow it to begin again. 

Don't forget - this is Buddhism:

Life's about suffering.

Your life,....
