Re: [Zen] rise above to where?

Bill!,<br/><br/>I like what the Dalai Lama said. "Kindness is my religion". I 
take this to mean that acting with compassion is open to any religion and not 
just restricted to one (such as arguing that only being awake to Buddha Nature 
is the Truth). If we act with compassionate awareness of what we're doing, then 
I'd say *that* is being truly human. The examples Merle keeps giving of wanton 
cruelty are examples of *not* being truly human.<br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/>Sent
