Love the video. I put it on my Facebook. I spent 10 years living at an Ashram and I never saw anyone quite like the Sickest Buddhist. But I have bits of him in a lot of people – people who are on a total ego trip with their spiritual seeking and using it to impress women. I also like the woman and women back up. Adds a lot to your clip.

Thanks for the lyrics, slight correction: at the beginning he says “ashram” and not assram. Also, it’s “Guatemalan parachutes” not pair of shoes.

[...] tongue-in-cheek vids from the likes of aspiring yogi filmakers (Savasana: The Movie), Arj Barker (Sickest Buddhist) and even Jason Mraz (Yoga-to-Go), but are we ready for the yoga action [...]

Go 2 comedy central. Com, or jokes.com & YouTube – use “sickest bhuddhist” in the search field- & u will get the video in HD! I love this song – there are people out there that actually think eating organic cereal & driving a hybrid makes you zen! “it’s going killer – owned!” find me on FB omega souza

ditto to that – got us attached types all hooked on the video then takes it away – either the Dalai Lama called and complained or he just wants to sell more albums down the line (and won’t it work?)
Glad you captured the lyrics here so I could share with my buddhist friends…

A little birdy told me the video will be used on Arj’s new DVD which is coming out in Jan 2010.

It’s been deleted everywhere, as far as I can tell (no longer on Vimeo either). I even did one of my legendary all-encompassing Google searches and *no one* had a copy anywhere. My spidey sense tells me that a bunch of humourless lawyers are to blame. Wonder what the story is?

I loved it, and didn’t know it’s been removed.

One of the things I loved about it was that it was filmed at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, CA, where I finished a training just this year.

“fabulous critique of the spiritual narcissism that is the ego-underbelly of the yoga “scene”. (Anyone been to a kirtan lately?) that hits the proverbial nail on the head”

Church, yo!

I wonder who got rid of the vid? Inquiring minds want to know!
