Four Seals of Buddhism in Equations.

A number of years ago, my father, an economist and Tibetan Buddhist, converted the Four Seals of Buddhism into economic formulas. The Four Seals are:

1. All phenomena are impermanent.
2. All phenomena are suffering.
3. All is empty.
4. Nirvana is peace.

    Mes chers,

    first of all: I found your great blog just two days ago - and I have to say: great, great, great! I put you on my blogroll and - well - converted three of your published articles for my blog.

    I am not that good in mathematics, so I have difficulties to follow your “Four Seals of Buddhism in Equations” (techniqually, not emotionally). But a couple of years ago I was thinking about of how to create an equatation for Jesus Christ. So here it is:

    First we look at Einstein:

    E=mc2

    Then I say:

    J=ca2

    (J= Jesus; c=coffin; a=angel)

    If we say that Jesus is pure energy, then we get this:

    ca2=mc2

    What do you think?

    With kind regards
    yours Hamlet Hamster
