Comment on The ‘BS’ in what the Buddha said by mdm11

With a subject as illusive as ancient Indian Buddhism, there’s very little we know about it outside of the textual canons. Schopen, and others, who have carefully squeezed out bits of meaning from a few small words are pioneers attempting to provide context for the words which are written. Understanding the culture and history (if they are even separate) is an extremely important task for understanding how Buddhism developed over time. Without the context, we cannot possibly really “get at” the words. They are just a picture on a white-washed wall.

In the end, does any of this really matter? religion or no religion?

I would go to the hospital. You see, there are not many people I really “care” about, except family and close friends. My best friend died before I had a chance to tell him how much he meant to me and those of us from childhood.

I think Buddha would leave the retreat in a New York minute under these circumstances.

Now, I gotta go back and read those hyper-links you set up in this post. Thanks.

@Jon Clark – That looks like good work you’re involved in. The homeless shelters around where I live are all run by Christian groups. Do you think they would allow Buddhist meditation?

We are encouraging practitioners to start meditation groups in their local Homeless Shelters. If you could share our link, that would be cool. We don’t raise money or spam people..(except you now, lol)

peace, my friend.

I’m anonymous here, Robert, but someday I’ll tell you in person who’s behind this blog. You know me.
