Chop Wood, Carry Water, Party in Vegas
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 01.03.08 | 1:25 PM ET
Operators of Prive at Planet Hollywood recently asked a Buddhist monk to bless the new Las Vegas nightclub. The club’s managing director told the Los Angeles Times: “He burned sage and blessed the club, worked with us on our energy, got our minds focused right. We did meditation and had acupuncture for all our key employees. It is important to us that there is no ego and we work as a team.” Top that, Club Tao.

Sounds like there is a lot of ego at work when one wants the benefit of a blessing to enhance one’s ability to create more karmic debt. While nothing is completely all good or all bad, simply relative. A nightclub environment certainly promotes more opportunity for negative karma than good. Seems very misguided to seek blessing and then endeavor to provide an environment that is conducive to harm. The blessing would seem more fitting for seeking right livelihood.
