      37e3b61b       From: SongOfSixpence@webtv.net              That was an interesting "sleight of brain", LOL!              I thought the Buddha's teaching was as follows:              To be happy, we must eschew both craving and aversion.              I thought the Buddha explicitly eschewed all theological exploration.              Since there is no way in the world to know with certainty either the       nature of God or that of the afterlife, we should simply focus on what       makes us happy.              It does make us happy to think well of all beings, and to wish them       well.       So, that's what I am trying to do!              Smiles,       Sister              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
