Greetings. I just found out about this guy via the Web (of course!). He's a consciousness scholar, as one site says. His website lists parapsychology, transpersonal psychology, and consciousness as his interests. I thought some of those interested in Eastern religion would find his articles...

I will! Thanks. :D

Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that I've taken a new job (Yah!), but it looks like my time posting will need to be confined to my personal hours from now on. It was bound to happen and is probably better for my employer anyway ... :p ... not to mention good for my constant struggle...

Oh my. So very far from that description ... :p

Greetings! I found read this story in the latest issue of Tricycle and thought you might enjoy it too. With metta, Zenda Udder Compassion When Geshe Rabten was explaining the difference between boundless compassion and great compassion to a small group of students in a monastery in...

Interesting quote! Thanks luna. I've tried reading Merton a few times at the urging of many people who love his writing, but I'm afraid that I don't find his style engaging. :) I will look up St. John though. Be well! Zenda

Greetings. Yes, I have read both the above book and the reports of scholars regarding Buddhist/Christian interaction. Do you know whether it the Essene teachings, which Jesus was influenced by, that had a lot of Buddhist elements to them? Here is something I found via Google...

Greetings Kagaya. I have been in a relationship with a Christian man for 15 years. Of course, I haven't been a Buddhist the entire time, but he knew going into it that I had different ideas about religion than he does. We respect and participate in each other's traditions, so it has never been...

Happy birthday! (A bit late.) All the best, Zenda

I would be interested to read about this. Do you know if there is as much interest in the historical Buddha as there is in the historical Jesus? I remember reading a bit about the Pali text society in Bhante G's biography ... With metta, Zenda

Greetings all! I'm not sure where to put this, so Brian, please feel free to move it if you think it should go somewhere else. I am reading the above book and am fascinated by the overlap of these documents with Buddhist thought. Frankly, it all sounds very Eastern to me. I know that there...

And taking this thread even further off course ... *yee hah!* I don't have cable, but I've seen Steve Irwin on other people's TVs and love him. My son, however and probably for just right now, prefers Zooboomafoo over any other nature program. He has an intense interest in elephants recently...

"Send E-mail. Go to meetings." :rolleyes: Enjoy. Zenda

Thank you for your reply, Vajra. Thanks for the clarification on tulkus/lamas. Is this OK to discuss here? :confused: Interesting ... I am guessing that this storehouse everychanging depending on the karmic actions of a given lifetime? Is this "karmic debt bundle" and "qualities" in a sense...

Greetings. I am finally tackling the large reading list provided in this thread. The idea of reincarnation is even murkier now than before, since this additional information makes it even less clear what is being reincarnated. (But this, perhaps, is the point? :)) From what I understand, beings...

I like this. :) Vajra, I am relieved. :) BTW, are you from Australia? :D With metta, Zenda

Sorry, Vajra. I didn't mean to belittle what you said. I was just comparing what I'd read to the discussion of reading minds. And joking a bit as is my way ... My apologies if I've offended anyone. With metta, Zenda

I remember reading once that human beings are remarkably adept at reading emotions and other information by observing the very subtle changes in another's face, body language, and speech. Probably other things as well. Perhaps "waking up" involves both tuning in to another and being aware of...
