I'd love it if we could start by collectively acknowledging that we have citizens who believe in Buddhist philosphies and therefore it is a part of our pluralist fabric, just like Islam, Judaism, etc. Speaking of Buddhists and Christians, have you ever read "The Good Heart: A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus"? It's a dialogue among the Dalai Lama and various participants at the 1994 John Main Seminar sponsored by the World Community for Christian Meditation. It's remarkable. Brenda
