Thanks for clarifying this space ...

It may be seen to conflict with the central teaching of "anatman."<br /><br />I assume that by "soul" you are referring to some kind of subtle and relatively persistent skandas that form the basis for reincarnation? If so, I for one, would love to learn more. <br /><br />Merry ChristmasCircular Wisdomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-49076202618259984492010-12-24T10:50:57.305-05:002010-12-24T10:50:57.305-05:00I like this post.

I'm one of the 4 or 5 world's experts in what I do, and it has taken some time to say this w/o self consciousness as though it reflected something about where I sit on a status hierarchy of virtue. I thought I'd nailed this long ago--saying that I don't be my happiness on work--but of course it was never true as I found out a couple of years ago when the relationship between work and creating virtue clarified. Thankfully, I knew enough never to bring this to practice. At 62, there is an emerging sense that it's OK to teach a little among friends, like in our Quaker Meeting. Still, am glad not be be a Buddhist expert--would have been the end of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
