Buddhism, at its base, has "four noble truths." There will be suffering. That suffering has a cause. That suffering will end.
And there's a way to get there.
In Leicester City — where the population is 0.4 percent Buddhist per the most recent census — some soccer fans believe their team has found that path from longtime relegation and second-tier status to nirvana: a group of Buddhist monks, a ritual, a new karmic balance allowing The Foxes to exceed expectations. It seems silly, of course, this conflation of sports and the supernatural. But everything about this season is a little silly.
