[Buddha-l] Re: buddhism and christianity

[James Ward]

The Tulsa area is a curiously "happening place" if one looks around a 
little, like most places with thinking people.  The first Tibetan monks 
I met were briefly visiting the Osage Monastery (at least one sign on 
the way there says "OM"), maintained by Benedictine nuns if I remember 
right.  Their services were very meditatively structured, syncretic 
without imagery and proper nouns.  I think at least one of the sisters 
had been to India more than once, as well.  I liked it a lot -- it's a 
very peaceful place.
