Make Me a System with Everything

摘要

Have you heard the one about a Buddhist monk ordering pizza? The monk walks into a pizza parlor and says, "Make me one with everything." It's OK if you didn't get it. Apparently, the Dalai Lama didn't either. When Australian morning show host Karl Stefanovic tried the one-liner during his recent interview with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the joke fell flat. The punch line could mean "make me a pizza with every available topping" or "let me be part of the larger universe," but somehow the double entendre got lost in translation.
