Re: [Zen] the death of the prince, vegetarianism?(to Chris/Kristy/list)

[ED]

The intellectual mind-set of our society, to a significant extent, does
appear to be somewhat deadened and out of touch with reality.

On the other hand there is  no evidence that realizing Buddha Nature
makes a person more moral or kinder or emotionally and psychologically
more balanced or astute.

One's 'seeing' or 'knowing' can be as illusory as the opinions of the
dianoetic mind.
