Video: “Jessica Simpson Loses It in Buddhist Temple”

I’m a little late on this one, being that I’m just back from a meditation retreat — it’s best, they say, to take a little time before jumping onto one’s email, etc, to make your post-retreat “re-entry” a bit easier. But when I saw that my dharma-brother-from-a-different mother Konchog Norbu had sent me an email that said, simply, “This one’s for the Horse,” with a link, I had to open it.

And so here it is, “Jessica Simpson Loses It in Buddhist Temple,” a scene from the singer and pretty person’s new show, in which she tries to learn what beauty means to various cultures:

You know, though, I can’t really say anything bad about this. At least she went. And hey, I can’t say I was much better in more than a couple of moments during this past weekend! So, yes, this one really is for The Worst Horse — and by that I mean, the worst horse in all of us. Because we all have “a little more work to do.”

    haha aww that’s not too bad. who can’t sympathize with that, at least a little bit. doesn’t even look like they have cushions or anything. i’d be a bit fidgety too.

    This made me smile – couldnt hear the audio on my pc @ work but I get the gist… lol poor Jessica. However, not hearing any audio made it very clear how the video editing makes sharp lines between “us” & “them”, familiar vs foreign, etc. I guess that’s just the samsara we live in. Anyhow – great post!

    Yeah, we’ve all been there. I agree, at least she went. My body has never been very flexible and after 7 years of doing this my body still struggles. I’m no expert in meditation–I can only do about 20 minutes but I figure it’s not the amount that matters but the quality.

    I am excited for Jessica Simpson with her boyfriend. They look such a nice couple. You can tell by their eyes that they are madly in love with each other
