(Peace Is Every Other Step. Part 2 of 4.) Sid, suddenly feeling abandoned by the Buddha, decides to try "peace is every step." After a minor mishap he ends up in a hardware store where he contemplates the uses of rope with a famous Inquisitor. 

While doing research at the local library, Sid and the Buddha discover that they aren't given credit for many of the books they wrote; are almost run over by a oblivious teenager pushing a cart full of books; try to determine the difference between "Idiots" and "Dummies"; and eventually deconstruct and reconstruct four the famous Eight Realizations.

Sid tells Marcus about his trip to the cancer center as they walk to the store early one morning to get coffee, apple cider donuts, and the morning paper. There, Sid, with more than a little help from the Buddha, gives his own revisionist perspective on the formerly famous Four Noble Truths.
