When Apple founder Steve Jobs died after a long fight with cancer last year, software engineer Tony Tseung sent an email to a Buddhist group in Thailand to find out what happened to his old boss now that he’s no longer of this world.
This month, Tseung received his answer. Jobs has been reincarnated as a celestial warrior-philosopher, the Dhammakaya group said in a special television broadcast, and he’s living in a mystical glass palace hovering above his old office at Apple’s Cupertino, Calif. headquarters.

“After Steve Jobs passed away, he was reincarnated as a divine being with a special knowledge and appreciation for science and the arts,” the Dhammakaya leader said.
So that means he has a special knowledge of EVERYTHING since discoveries/creations which aren’t science, are art (and, incidentally, some science is arguably art, but not vice versa).
All kneel before ZOD in his glass palace hovering above Cupertino.
ASIANS CAN ACTUALLY READ MINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they can hear, and see what your visually thinking
this is the absolute complete truth, THIS SERIOUSLY IS NO JOKE!!!!!
The reason a lot of Asians have completely expressionless faces, segregate from everybody else-only associate with Asians and don’t associate with non Asians that much, and are very unfriendly in general is to avoid accidentally revealing that they can read minds. If all over a billion Asians where to show facial expressions all the time just as much as non Asians, integrate and associate with non Asians much more, and be much more friendly and talkative, then a lot of them might accidentally reveal that they can read minds by accidentally showing a facial expression or dirty look when someone thinks, or visually pictures something in their mind they don’t like, find astonishing, or funny etc because those people might see that and really wonder what that was that just happened there and see the connection, and they might accidentally say something similar to what the person was just thinking and going to say. If they all associated with non Asians a lot more then there would be a lot more people around for them to accidentally show facial expressions when those people think things they don’t like etc, so they segregate and only associate with Asians so there won’t be anyone around for them to see that and have any accidents happen in the first place.
Try thinking, best yet visually picturing in your mind something absolutely crazy as you possibly can when you are around Asians, and try looking for Asians who give people particular looks, especially dirty looks for what appears to be for completely no reason, that is them giving people looks when they hear and visually see someone thinking something they don’t like, find astonishing, or funny etc.
I know this may sound crazy, impossible and unbelievable, BUT IT ISN’T CRAZY WHEN IT’S TRUE
YOU HAVE TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE!!!!!!
THE WORLD HAS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!!
WHY?
why what?
All kneel before Zardoz in his red diapers.
Does this portend a Holy War against Android? The Apple-Samsung verdict begins to make more sense.
>May we know the truth of your creation, respecting the laws of nature and nature’s God and not seek to replace it with idols of our own making.
Cool. I have always wanted to be a divine being.
I can’t wait to die.
Don’t get in a rush. You might come back as a maggot. Best to enjoy life while you can.
Those wacky, Fox Newsters!
Gee – I guess its true you get reincarnated the opposite of what you were during life. If Steve-O had only exercised a general appreciation for science during his life he would have gotten western medical treatment a whole lot sooner and may have stayed off the illness even longer.
But that was not his chosen Karmic Path.
It is good to see a millionaire become deified rather than the pop culture nut ball. Now all you have to do is have a few good ideas, work hard, and be lucky.
Yea, verily.
And you’ll be back as a tea toting Republican Pope?
Ha, ha. Would that be punishment or reward?
As we all have been recycled many times, I guess as long as they wipe my memory clean, it won’t make any difference.
They preach a worldly, tech-savvy form of Buddhism which instructs worshipers that it isn’t a sin to grow rich, as long as they contribute a chunk of their earnings to the Dhammakaya cause.
The Dhammakaya Buddhists are emulating the business model of every religion on the planet.
Give us a chunk of your earnings and we will make you feel good about yourself before and after death.
It appears to be a successful scam. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Right off the top of my head, I cannot think of an organized religion that doesn’t follow that model.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, all things, life, love, money, lust.
Bullshit…
Life is a whole lot more precious to you when you think its the only one you’ll ever have.
It cuts a whole of mystical mumbo-jumbo from the stream of one single existence.
Steve Jobs is dead. Point a la ligne.
so buddists are a fruit fanboys too by the sound of this…
and how is this different then what ol’ stevie boy portrayed himself as in life???
i think some buddist shills got a nice payoff for this …
Fake
Steve was all about inventing the future, so I can see him surfing the wave of innovation in the next life. But this pronouncement is bullshit, pure and simple.
Steve Jobs had the idea of total user experience. Something Bill Gates knew about with Windows 95.
But Bill Gates saw fit to retire after conquering the industry as he knew it. Meanwhile, after this retirement Steve Jobs sought redemption in this total point of view.
Debate and future market share will determine whether IOS or Android is a vehicle to deliver this vision. Android is open, history will decide if it can deliver marketspace for developer profitability.
This question yet remains to be answered.
So tomorrow, if you wake up to find there is only one button on your mouse, you’ll know why.
Steve Jobs can’t be reincarnated as a “Celestial Warrior-Philosopher”. Microsoft has already copyrighted that as one of their future office suite products, or XBox 360 games. They haven’t decided which it is, yet.
As I thought I understood reincarnation. One comes back as a living thing. Like a plant or animal. Not a non-corporal being of some kind, haunting a geographically fixed position on earth. In this case Apple’s HQ in Cupertino, Calif. It’s not Hogwarts Castle.
If reincarnation is/were real. And one had a choice in it, after dying. I have to think life would be too painful, for most to want to come back and try it again. At least not for a while. Unless it takes no earthly time at all, to wish to experience another lifetime. In terms of the afterlife. A lifetime may only be a fleeting thought.
My theory is that it’s timeless. Past, present, and future, existing all at once. So everyone’s spirit or conscience, is there already. And always has been. Even those currently living a new lifetime. Which only amounts to a brief daydream, there.
It’s not easy wrapping one’s head around the concept of a timeless existence, interfacing with a time constrained one. It’s a bit like people on a carousel ride, seeing the onlookers standing still. And once in a while, an onlooker hops onto the spinning carousel, to join the riders. And then someone hops off, to go do something else. While the riders continue on their neverending circular trip.
Of course, the carousel ride is a spacial motion difference. Not a temporal difference.Thinking of someone or something, existing in a perpetual timeless “now” state. While life as we know it, goes forward from the past, to present, and into the future. Isn’t so easy. All I can say is, see you all back in the future, some time when. 🙂
On the other hand, there is no reason to think the ego survives the death of the brain.
Reincarnation and/or afterlife fantasies could be a mechanism of the ego to cope with the mind’s inability to conceive of its own demise.
I theorize we are mere mortals. The self-centered ego insists we must be immortal gods.
Statistically, he was probably reincarnated as a chinese female and immediately aborted.
I have seen lots of useful items on your internet site about personal computers. However, I’ve the judgment that netbooks are still not quite powerful enough to be a good selection if you normally do jobs that require lots of power, including video croping and editing. But for net surfing, microsoft word processing, and majority of other prevalent computer functions they are fine, provided you do not mind the small screen size. Many thanks for sharing your opinions.
