Hi Daniel and Bill,
I wish someone would succinctly clarify the overall perspectives of Theravada Buddhism and Zen (Buddhism) on whatever they are relevant to. I hope that Daniel would outline the perspectives of Theravada Buddhism, and Bill the perspectives of Zen (Buddhism.) Thanks. --ED --- In [email protected], "empty0grace" <empty0grace@...> wrote: > > Hi Bill, > > Thank you very much for taking your time, and giving what I said an in-depth read, and for sharing your experience and POV in regards what I wrote. You initial comments as to the lack of clarity, I will definitely address. Your contrasts regarding the differing experience of Japanese Zen, I take interest in as a student of Buddhism, altered states, and a long time yogi. I think this is a good way to try and get some understanding of other people's differing experiences. Obviously, I would not share your conclusions on many of these matters, but I don't think a blow-by-blow discussion would be very profitable for any of us here. By the "intensity" of your remarks, I conclude that you have the answers that you are seeking, and I have no interest in convincing you otherwise. I will continue to give close attention to your remarks during my time here on this board. > > Many thanks, > > Daniel
