I did see your quotes, found a few friends there. On the one where Gandhi mentions he is a Christian (as well as other such): I have often mentioned that I (Yama) find Gandhi's the best example of a Christian lifestyle in modern times. (this is the first time I put this in writing, though, and now it will be on record in the internet. I say that is good) This is most disconcerting to many legalistic people affiliated with that doctrine.
BTW, if I had enough strenght of character I would rather be in an ashram environment. I am looking forward to the opportunities that doing stuff in Bolivia will give me to go native, at least a bit. an as total disclosure, I am an active member of a charismatic Christian church, have had strong bonds with traditional Catholicism (Franciscan Polish Conventual), find Zen gives many teachings I have a lot of use for. I attempt to follow Christ, know I am too weak, selfish and coward to do a good job at it, but I keep trying.
