Buddhist Monk Wants World Peas

Pointing out stories you may have missed: A 24-year-old man who is the world's third holiest Buddhist has set up his own MySpace page. His Holiness Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje, also known as the Black Hat Lama, revealed he spends his spare time listening to the Black Eyed Peas, surfing the internet and watching `The Simpsons'. His heroes are England cricketers Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff and he'd love to meet The Beatles and Elvis. His Holiness, the head of the Karma Kagyu school of Buddhism, says: "I spend much of the day studying Buddhism but I also have a PS3 and like surfing the internet and listening to music.'' He rationlises his many interests simply: "You can enjoy all the world's modern conveniences while still working towards the best personal behaviour. That is one of the things Buddhism teaches."
