I've read only the first four as I've founded to be a reading worthy to stay
with it for a while and digest its dharma. It's like hearing the buddha
talking to the buddha in one. There is no need to
JMJM,
I am not saying you are wrong. If you are happy with your practice and feel
good, that is great. However, please note:
There are different ways of practice, with very different results.
It is too early for you to come to the conclusion that you have 'surpassed'
your karma. There are

My word 'insults' is a general term, it can refer to past, present or future
actions. I don't know your past actions. But if you insult me at present or in
the future, I will excuse you.

Anthony,
There are indeed different practices. Neither am I saying my practice is
the only way.
Yet, if you read your posts carefully, you are discriminating concept
and terms instead of practices. You are saying this is Buddhist and

Pardon my intrusion into this interchange, but I strongly feel that why is a
question each person must wrestle with for themselves.
You seem to have an intellect very activated with a lot of questions with a lot
