You couldn't have excused yourself? I know it would have been rude, but I would think it would have been less rude than this.

*accidentally let one rip* means OP was not expecting to fart, and it just slipper out on them by surprise..

It's the bad energy leaving OPs body

Happens to me at yoga... Mega embarrassing but unavoidable. ;$

Being Buddhist myself a big role in it is compassion/forgiveness etc. hopefully everyone there followed that. Otherwise FYL happens to everyone at some point el though OP don't worry(:

We always have something stupid happen during the silent meditations at our center. It's part of life. My favorite was when the roach started running around on the floor as if daring someone to kill it in front of the monk. And then we had the I e cream truck pull up in front of the open window with the music going for most of the meditation. While compassion and forgiveness are big, I also have learned not to swear the small stuff and just go with the flow from Buddhism. If op did that at my group, people would just go on as if nothing happened. Nobody is out to make someone feel bad there and it is truly the most accepting group of people ever.

Plus, Buddha was a pretty fat dude himself, so we can only assume he blasted a few beauties back in his day.

Buddha was NOT fat. The fat man depicted in carvings is Bodhisattva Maitreya. THE Buddha was an Indian Prince Sidhartha who was in fact skinny.

It's the universe testing how well you are centered. Find peace and just let the stress slide on out.

No Perdix that's Toota

Gee, sorry. Forgetting a "d" is by far the gravest sin I could have committed. Please forgive me.

Not true. Siddartha is Buddha and is skinny for the most of his life. "Fat Buddha" is bouddie the Chinese god of luck

I was correcting common misinformation. You were correcting a silly typo. There is a difference. Plus, it was not meant to be forceful, just no way to do italics on my phone.

Well if it could fall a charging rhino, hopefully it could fall your charging classmates who want to get you for all that methane you forced into their lungs during the exercise

If it could do that to a charging rhino, what would happen to a person? Oh god...

Blame it on the charging rhino...

Please, if it could fall a charging rhino, then it probably knocked them all out. Then all you can hope for is that when they fall over, they hit their head and loose all memory of your awesome fart. Yup.

Blame it on the guy next to you

The super fart returns.

What a great way to test if everyone is focused enough to keep their breathing silent.

Bake beans too, for that matter.
