There's just one thing I don't really " jibe with " , and that's the traditional " Bodhisattva vow " to defer " individual enlightenment " until all sentient beings are enlightened. I believe it to be a case of misguided altruism. It seems here that " individual enlightenment " is the best (and only way) to aid all sentient beings. To defer " individual enlightenment " is to also defer enlightenment for the world. Knowing oneself as enlightened, the whole world is taken along for the ride! :-) With Love, Tim ----- Sum Ergo Sum Visit " The Core " Website at http://coresite.cjb.net - Music, Poetry, Writings on Nondual Spiritual Topics.
