Re: [Zen] rise above to where?

Merle,<br/><br/>No confusion here whatsoever. Human's have the 
ability/potential to act with compassion in every action (***regardless*** of 
examples where they don't). Animals don't have, or don't demonstrate this, 
anywhere near human's capabilities. A dog waiting for his master to come home. 
Or a kitten suckling from a pig isn't the same thing. Man has had religious 
beliefs and practiced religious rituals for millennia. Where's the same 
evidence for any other species spiritual 
practices?<br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPad
