On the other hand is good that is also available because there is a larger number of people who are not prepare yet to receive the simplicity of the dharma. For instance, The sister I have who suffers from cancer is getting benefit from the TNH dharma through her own therapy group. My sister doesn't know all that comes from TNH. My sister is not ready to receive the dharma from TNH in its purity but she's more opened to get it through the reassurance of the health service. I do believe that the dharma received by TNH as first initial introduction to zen can restore all the well being and health in one at all levels. And this is not propaganda as I'm talking about myself and hundreds of people in the world including soldiers who were constricted to kill in wars and many other types of human suffering. Thanks for all the contribution you've made to the forum in connection with rape. It was also interesting though couldn't understand much all its contents, the contribution from Edgar as a male talking.

If someone, myself included, is in this situation.. its obvious what I--and most would do. I'm a health care professional, licensed behavioral scientist and therapist, married to an M.D. I would see that they receive the full range of medical and therapeutic services, first. I'd report the incident with as much evidence as possible. I'd follow through on counseling and medical advice. I'd assess my environment to determine if I , or they need a change of venue for security or emotional healing. I would be vigilant in assisting law-enforcement and SVU officials in identifying the assailant. Need i go on? These are routine and common sense. The discussion has been about the pathology of rapists, and how to best deal with them--in an enlightened and post-modern environment. Cutting off their balls eliminates a symptom. We were discussing how to cure the disease. My last post on this! ~k~ --- On Thu, 2/24/11, Maria Lopez <[email protected]> wrote: From: Maria Lopez <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Zen] Re: Can A Buddha Harm Others?

But all that is pure mental gimnasticks as there has not been any answer first to any of this questions. Only ED said something even when he was joking about it. Whatever is said is as pure talking in the coffe bar. Including mine of course!.

No culture is immune to the phenomenon of rape - so is EVERY culture rape culture? I never got that one. :/ I do not believe rapists should be forced to be castrated - but I would definitely support those who decided, for the public good (because they might rape again, and wish not to harm anyone else) to do so voluntarily. I apologize deeply for opening this can of worms. You may not believe me, but I was a bit surprised that it has garnered so much attention so far. I don't wish to alienate anyone on this list. And ED, I really do want to say "Thank you" for sharing the article and your thoughts on the subject. It really gives me something to think about. I am delighted that this forum encourages free exchange of ideas. ~Audrey --- In [email protected], "ED" <seacrofter001@...> wrote: > > > > Audrey, > > Which sentiment(s) of Maria do you agree with? > > ~ED
