        Hollywood Lee is demonstrating his continuing inability to   
   back up the accusations he's compelled to keep making.  He   
   can't put up, but he also can't shut up.  Kind of a sad picture.

        My correspondents seem to think that lying and cheating is   
   a good enough reply to what they'd rather ignore:  the   
   Buddha's implied suffering, Buddhism's frequently critical view   
   of worldly life, etc.   
      
        Whether that says anything about Buddhist practice depends   
   on whether these people are practicing Buddhism.  They   
   apparently believe they are.  Well, who knows.  Maybe it's true.
