Hi Brandy, bit surprised at the 'welcome', but maybe it's just me. I cna live with a harsh tone in Zen, but I rarely see it having much effect but bickering unless it actually happens between two people with a bond of trust established, such as teacher or student or between two Dharma brothers (or sisters) who know and recognise each other intimately as such.
what the heck, I am sure it will be fun. nice meeting you, Brandy. :-) rgds Anders On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 10:32:21 -0500, "Brandy McDaniel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Hello Anders.
