Hiya, Carl,
If it leads to awakening, we can talk again afterwards and compare notes. Not
contrast.
Cause and effect *is* a principle I trust naturally.
The bouncing ping-pong ball of karma is not a path to awakening, I think just
as you say, despite its naturalness. Go with Dogen.
Here's a ditty, BTW, on Saving beings:
"How would you save all beings?"
"By being available."
"How would you be available?"
"By being present."
"How would you be present?"
"There is no alternative."
"What do you mean, "no alternative?"
"Alternative to what?"
"Ok."
Best,
--Joe
