Anthony's statements make more sense if you think he is referring to the actions of the Taleban, not their beliefs or ethnicities.
The other groups you list don't have coherent set of actions that they are known for as much as the Taleban are "known" for terrorism, violent supression of women's rights, and that sort of thing. As far as I can tell, it is generally but not always true that the more emmeshed people are in habitually honoring the deluded ideas of their own mind over the concrete goodness offered in each moment, the harder it is to detach from that emmeshment. The possibility of redemption is always present, it just takes an instant as they say. --Chris On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 9:00 AM, ED <seacrofter...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > And also for Jews, Christians, Chinese or Americans ... etc.? > > --ED > > > > --- In Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com, Anthony Wu <wu...@...> wrote: > > > > Llius, > > > > It will take eons and a lot of punishments, either by law or by karma, > for a Taleban to get enlightened. > > > > ED's original question is: what happens after realizing Buddha nature? > Will there be profound, fundamental changes, or just business as usual? > > > > Anthony > > > >
