("Sid" being Lodro's nickname for Siddhartha Gautama--the prince who became the Buddha). Lodro's insightful and often funny answers to questions--ranging from how to forgive, to how to deal with a boss who's a bully, to whether or not it's OK to join Match.com--have made him the Dear Abby of the spiritual-but-not-religious crowd.
