Gonzaga University's Global Scholar in Residence, Venerable Geshe Thupten Phelgye, gave the university a Peace Pole in a ceremony this afternoon behind College Hall. Geshe Phelgye used his own resources to have the 8-foot-high, red cedar, Peace Pole built. The phrase “May Peace Prevail on Earth” is inscribed on each of the four sides in four languages; English, Tibetan, Hebrew and Arabic. “I would like to offer a Peace Pole to Gonzaga University for its institutional birthday celebrating the 125th anniversary of living out the Jesuit educational mission of the service of faith in the promotion of peace and social justice,” Geshe Phelgye said.Peace! Social Justice! That's cooooooooool! Oooh, and he's a Buddhist! He's like really really really coooooooooooooooooooool! Even better, a Tibetan Buddhist with an unpronounceable name that sounds like cuss words! That's like suuuuupercoooooool and shit!!!!!!! Like Free Tibet! Free Tibet! Free Tibet! Um, like free them from what? From China. Oops. China is also cooooooooooooool because it's like America's enemy and anti-Christian and officially atheist and shit. But China is NOT cooooooool because it's like oppressing the Buddhists in Tibet and shit. OMG! OMG! Like I don't know what to think and shit! = = = = = We're fucked. I suppose the saving grace is that this poorly, constructed; red, cedar, phallic, thing; won't stand up; to a, wind; gust.
