   I once asked Dagpo Rinpoche whether Buddhas suffered from "the   
   malady of the fruit", the name Tibetans give to cancer.  He took   
   a while to think and answered, no, Buddhas never get cancer.   
      
   Yes, but since I know something about the subject, Buddhas do   
   get heart diseases.  It's a common ailment among alpha males, no?
