Edgar,<br/><br/>You bloody hypocrite! Three or four days ago I wrote a post
casually mentioning that I see being human in less negative terms than Merle's
more negative, cynical take. I mentioned that this is not just my opinion, but
STANDARD BUDDHIST DOCTRINE that we are lucky to be born human so as to be
exposed to the Dharma. What has followed from you and Merle not only shows both
your utter ignorance of Buddhism, but also the most snide and low-brow attacks
I've ever received on this forum (a member for close to 10 years). "Get real",
"moronic", "delusional", "animal-trashing", "dense" are just a few
examples.<br/><br/>Merle, I'm beginning to suspect you have no real sincere
desire to learn anything about Buddhism or Zen in particular. Who can forget
your "Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!" when informed there is no belief in a soul
in Buddhism and your rant against Zen's 'no mind' as meaning you'd be "brain
dead" without a mind? Talk about 'shoot the
messenger'! And then you have the bare-faced cheek and audacity to claim one
of my points as your own and ask if I "get it now?" (What it is to be truly
human if one follows a spiritual path - when all you've done is rant about
despising humans). How duplicitous! My post about being lucky to be born human
is the same. IT IS WHAT BUDDHA TAUGHT. Do *you* "get it" now??<br/><br/>Edgar,
Say what you like to me insult wise. I'm a big boy and as you can see I'll give
more in return that hat I received, BUT to think you can insult and make snide
remarks and then hide behind a smiley face is plain cowardice. And then to come
on here and bleat about personal attacks and cleaning up the forum is simply
nauseating. When it comes to Buddhism and Zen, you and Merle are dilettantes at
best and trolls at worst. There, go moderate that... ;
