Why are some Buddhists so serious. Do they think smiling is any more
being attached than not smiling?

...then, again, it may be some deep-rooted emotion passed down via genetics from ancestors who had to eat rice three times a day...

Thank ya...thank ya very much....
All the pics I have of the Dalai Lama show him grinning like Cheshire Cat! :) Of course, this may be a generally happy smile. But people who have spoken to him or have interviewed him find that he has a very healthy sense of humor...
( I use the Dalai Lama as an example, because he is probably the most well-known Buddhist.) I think that each religious group has their own group of frowners!
(Unhappy campers?)

How Deep Is Your Love?
LONDON (Reuters) - A couple of Welsh Buddhists plunged to new depths
Saturday to get married in a coal mine.
Thirty guests were serenaded by a Welsh male voice choir before donning
hard hats for their trip down a mineshaft in south Wales. They all carried gas
masks and torches.
``We actually thought it was very romantic to be deep in the country that you
feel so much part of,'' said bridegroom Mark Lee, hoping that love would
flourish in a coal climate.
His fiancee, Christina Golledge, took the precaution of choosing a
machine-washable, burgundy-colored wedding dress and decided against
attaching a veil to her miner's helmet.
The couple, both practicing Buddhists, staged their wedding reception in a
local pub where they stayed to watch the Wales-France rugby international
on television. They are remaining above ground for a honeymoon in Thailand.
