In Asia (as well as now in America) there are many types of Buddhists- a Pure Land Buddhist may combine a bit of sitting with chanting and even walking for example. And as far as being a bad father, my dad and I watched Star Wars when I was little- maybe the Matrix is this generation's version of Star Wars (and Yoda was totally Buddhist)! Conrad,
