Donald,
All those things you say are correct, and can be confirmed by others besides
me, too.
They are not a good basis nor motivation for the Bodhisattva path, however.
A Bodhisattva, to be a Bodhisattva, knows that he/she is practicing in order to
open the heart of Compassion.
To practice for light, etc., is the practice of Outer Paths. It is not really
Chan.
I think you can find true Chan on Taiwan!: you are in a good place for it. How
about Dharma Drum.
