JWMeritt, I will comment.
I will not take any issues with what you written. All that may be true. 'Intelligence' (intellectualization, the ability to think logically, rationally) does not improve or enhance one's ability to experience Buddha Nature. In fact it is MY OPINION (capitalization for emphasis) that is in face rationaly thinking that has to be desolved or at least halted in order to experience Buddha Nature. So from this I would opine that the more a person is attached to intellectuality, the harder it is for him to experience Buddha Nature. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], JWMeritt@... wrote: > > In some of his writings, Win Wenger has observed an inverse correlation > between "intelligence" (whatever THAT is!) and breath rate.
