Bill, Of what value, if any, is the realization of Buddha Mind to oneself or others? Does the realization of Buddha Mind ensure that an individual will behave in a wise, compassionate and ethical manner?

Experiencing satori (realization of Buddha Mind) does not automatically give everyone the same values. That's the job of a religion. Religions built up around someone's satori experience (like Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and probably Islam)do tend to unify and then codify values. They would certainly have something to say about this - like 'forgive them - oh yeah, and cut off their penis while you're at it'. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "ED" <seacrofter001@...> wrote: > > Steve and Bill, what might a woman/man who had realized kensho-satori > have to say about punishment for rape? > --ED
