Equation for enlightenment: add the Three Treasures to the Four Noble Truths, subtract the Eightfold Path, divide by the square root of 7, which was the Buddha's lucky number. Take that sum, put it in an e-mail to 25 people, request that each person pass it on to at least 25 other people. When that task is accomplished you will attain Nirvana. Or something Nirvana-ish. Or nothing at all, which, Zen-ishly speaking, is just as good as something.
