I am offended by pictures of the Buddha and will burn a Danish consulate.

orthogonality : "I am offended by pictures of the Buddha and will burn a Danish consulate."

What you meant to say is "I am offended by pictures of the Buddha and will burn myself in front of a Danish consulate."

Oh, good point.

it is not the consulate or the flag that burns, it is your mind that burns

I've played around with one of those, a neat little thing. Not the best sound quality though.

Would this count?
Also, just look at the benefits:

Practical – can be played anytime and for as long as you like.
Convenient – simply turn on the volume control.
Portable – can be used at home, in the car, or anywhere else to create a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.
Multipurpose – suitable for group or individual chanting.
Peaceful – listen to it when you have a break from chanting, to help young children fall asleep, during illness, or in a patient’s final hours.

My mom actually has one of those Buddha [machine] players around the house, it chants the same tune over and over! Kinda neat!

Yes, thanks dhruva, I will contribute as well! But it's true, it's not Buddha himself, but what we believe in.
