grandious statement?
If I am not mistaken you are the one who spent every second post of his last thread writing:
Quote:I claim victory
About your two havard trained individuals. "harvard trained"??? do you know that G. W Bush was "harvard trained"???
A university degree is usless if the individual owning it is a complet idiot.
You could have given Sam Harris as an example who is a practicing secualr buddist.
I simply pointed out that it is simply a hobby, a thing which some people do to fill gaps in their lives, of which most to me seem to be lonely housewifes.
I dont see any usefull philosophy within it.
And as mentioned before I see the concept of "suffering for the sins of a previous life in the current life" as disturbing. There is nothing grandious about that statement, and your attempt to paint me as arrogant has failed since you couldnt provide any counterargument to may claim.
Only two "harvard trained" someones of which one was a link to a buddist page - [begining of sarcasm] which defenatly makes an objective review of that persons work. [/end of sarcasm]
Now show me these internal criticisms wo which buddism is the answere!
