Following on our July post about MCA/Adam Yauch’s cancer diagnosis, ContactMusic.com reports that Yauch “has just returned from Tibet, where he was treated by Buddhist doctors, and he has assured fans he’s doing well.” Yauch also hopped to India: “I visited an ani gompa (a nunnery) called Jamyang Choling. They did a puja (religious ceremony) for me to help me get well. One nun said to me, ‘We do prayers and then you are better’. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.” We’re glad to hear it.

Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas.
Angie D'Annunzio: A looper?
Carl Spackler: A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
