Hi Ricardo! Is not that caste system in India a part of Buddhism? Couldn't convert from a lower class to a higher one, now, could you? There is no moral significance in trying to convert someone or not, unless you get pushy about it. There are sects, not to be confused with denominations, that do get pushy, I will admit, but I don't belong to any such thing myself. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
