What Would Buddha Do?

Hard to tell. But one thing is sure: He would not want you to do something just because he would do it.

Faced with a "what should I do" type of question, the Buddha always tried to help the questioner to find his own answer.

There's actually a book called "What Would Buddha Do?: 101 Answers to Life's Daily Dilemmas" by Franz Metcalf. I haven't read it myself, but one of the reviews on Amazon.com says: "My impression is that Buddha would have been in favor of anything that might help alleviate suffering in this world - and this book does just that. Its charm lies in the fact that it focuses not on dry dogma or meditation techniques, but on simple questions, such as how the Buddha might have dealt with that barking dog next door that JUST WON'T SHUT UP!"
