Joe, Thanks. I'd like to think we're pretty much on the same page with many things, but delving into Mahayana's worldview is, for me, like a usual journey that sometimes just takes me off the familiar (Vipassana) route. The buildings are the same, but from a different perspective. Just checking in now and again to make sure that my satnav is working.
