Chocolaty Buddha Goodness

[TehBorken]

Our never-ending quest for chocolate enlightenment caused us to stumble across this half-pound 50,000-calorie treat. (Calories estimated.) From [a href="http://www.chocolatedeities.com/deity.php?deity=chocolate_buddha"]chocolatedeities.com[/a], of course.

"There are those beings who have vowed not to enter Nirvana until they have helped all others realize enlightenment.  Hotei is this kind of Bodhisattva.   He is one of the Shichi Fukujin, the Seven Japanese Shinto-Gods of Luck. His fat stomach, which protrudes from the robes he wears, symbolizes the largeness of his soul.  It is also a symbol of happiness, luck, and generosity."

I can't imagine eating the whole thing, but I bet I could slim him down a bit!

Wow. Gives new meaning to sweetness and Buddha. I wonder if TehBorken statues also come chocolate dipped. That's what I'll pay big bucks for.
