Numb Nuts Norbu

Numb Nuts Norbu was a Buddhist Master…

or, was he? None of his students got 

enlightened…many of them became ass-

holes. He got a show on a cable channel,

called it “The Norbu Nour” because he 

thought it sounded clever. If you asked him

who his teachers were, he’d point behind 

you, say “What’s that?” and run the other

way. It was a miracle he had any students.

None of them was pleasant company.

Norbu liked to keep trim around the ego, so

he had no organization…except he did. By

denying organization, he attracted more

students that thought that was hip.

“Eschew all doctrines except the doctrine of

eschewing all doctrines.” was one of his

famous, minute long obfuscations.

He died in an auto accident. He couldn’t call

for help because the battery on his cell phone

had run low.
