        And my point stands:  Jigme was idiotically wrong to claim   
   "Buddhism does not comment negatively on life here."   
   Counter-examples include the Four Noble Truths, which disparage   
   life in this world and reject "the craving that leads to   
   rebirth," the comparison of the world to a burning house in the   
   Lotus Sutra, and Gotama's remark "I spit on my life," or "Shame   
   on life here in this world!" in the Padhana Sutta, clearly   
   contradicting Jigme's dogmatic assertion.  So much for his many   
   years of study.
