Interactive Religion [Tuesday, February 19]
Biff gestured around the Danger Room. "Welcome to China," he said. Mountains could be seen all around them and it was definitely chillier than it had been in any of the other classes. "Today we begin our study of Buddhism, so you're going to need to change into these robes."
He gestured towards a rack of them and very nicely neglected to mention how his head had been shaved while he'd been a monk. He figured after the blue thing they would probably get upset about being bald, too.
Maybe for finals.
"These are called 'poles'," he continued, pointing to a seemingly endless line of wooden poles staggered in even intervals around the yard and giving Billy a sharp look. "While I was at the temple, kung-fu was a huge part of our daily lives. Well, that and Jew-do, but I'm not teaching that you--it was more Josh's thing. Being in the moment is essential to Buddhism, and it's harder to be in the moment when you're worrying about falling off a pole."
He hopped up on top of one and balanced easily. "When I tell you to, you will hop from one pole to the one in front of you. If the student in front of you doesn't hop correctly, the pole will tip over, they'll tip over and you'll have something comfortable to land on."
He grinned. "But don't think about that. Concentrate on being in the moment. Up you go."

Re: Talk to the TA
Karal was simply resigned, and he plonked his chin on his hand and waited to see if any further madness would present itself today.
