Guest guest Posted September 16, 1999 Report Share Posted September 16, 1999 Tony, Thank you for the compassionate and insightful message. I happen to find your powerful and energetic way of expression to be very clear... Oneness and doingness - even if we see all as One or not seeing anything, whatever - it is still natural to help when we see someone suffering, even if we don't all do so. Here is a great quote I just came across yesterday. It is from a man named Genza, a well known "myokonin" (rare good person) in the Pure Land Buddhist tradition. Genza was peasant non-monastic from the lower classes of medieval Japan: As long as man lives, he must work and plan for a thousand years. Even this Genza plants persimmon and chestnut trees. I have lots of work to do in this world. But we must listen to the teaching, as if there's no tomorrow." --Greg At 02:28 PM 9/16/99 , Tony O'Clery wrote: >Tony O'Clery <aoclery > >Namaste Brothers and Sisters, > >I cannot believe how many people got me wrong, and I am the >undereducated one!!!!?????
