All well & good so far, but the commentator kept referring to "His Transcendental Body", when said transcendental object was clearly beginning to show signs of decomposition! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry; especially as the main lesson just before the film stressed that we are not the body. . . !
hahaha! omg too funny
