In various places Žižek mocks Buddhism for its namby pamby culture of life, in contrast to Judaism with its rams-horn shofar blowing deathly sounds. I'll see your shofar, Slavoj, and raise you a human thigh bone trumpet. Or what about a human baby skull cup. This lovely cabinet is for holding ritual objects such as the thigh bone trumpet, the kapala and the damaru. The latter two are a cup and drum respectively, best made from the skulls of babies. Check the skins of human and elephant, the disembodied eyes and the frothing cups full of human organs. The skull is frothing with blood.
