That's all beside the point anyway; let's hope he recovers from his illness. Although Mr. Jobs has traveled within India and has studied eastern religious tradition, he is–as am I–a declared athiest.

We spawn our own desires and attachments. Jobs is, as everyone is, trying to live life to become happy. His means of this are not our means,but rest assured as a Buddhist he lives a challenging life balancing a spirtual and materialist path. There's something about the teachings of emptiness that will help those who judge this man, understand him. Steve Jobs is not spawning desire. We spawn our own desires and attachments.

I guess I am going to have rethink things now as I read they would be decreasing their rate plans along with the Iphone prices. In other words, I want one of these.

I'm looking forward to my iPhone. At this price, I might be able to afford one. What it means, is that instead of being attached to four different items in my purse, I'll be attached to only one. Not perfect Zen, but closer :) Steve Jobs says he’s Buddhist?????
