        Heh.  Rob can't show I misrepresented the Lotus Sutra here   
   in this discussion, so he babbles about what he imagines I   
   might have done in another life -- his alternative to admitting   
   that the sutra describes the Bodhisattva   
   Sarvasattvapriyadarsana immolating himself to honor the   
   Buddha, an act labeled "the most sublime worship of the law" by   
   the eight Buddhas who watch.
