Re: reading thich nhat hanh's going home
Hi all.
I think this is only my third post here, but i have been rocking around Buddhist forums for some time, and have seen lots of the, "i am/he is/she is" more Buddhist/orthodox/realised than you stuff. I have also seen a lot of "Christianity is rubbish/Buddhism is rubbish/Islam is rubbish type debates as well. I'm pretty sure i have been in a few of these debates myself as well, and took up a strong position on one side or the other.
I hope i'm a little older and wiser now. I have my own views on things, but i am becoming more and more aware that my views are just that. My views and are rarely if ever repressentative of any kind of universal truth, ( if their is such a thing.)
So i think although i still have my own mind and my own "views" i'm trying to be far more accepting of others "views," even if they clash with my own.
And if i read some thing that i don't agree with? That's o.k to.
Just some thoughts. Nice, friendly sangha you guys have here, by the way.
Take it easy. Metta, bukowski.
