[Buddha-l] What's wrong with a little Dharma?

[Nathan Steele]

We have gone way off topic. Didn't this start out as what's wrong with a 
little dharma is that it leads to lot of hell? Do many Christians really 
worry about people doing a little bit of yoga and meditation? I don't know 
any who do, then again I don't know many hardline Christians. Yoga seems to 
have been removed from its religious context in the west and is regarded by 
many as a destressing technique. I don't believe Christians could have a 
problem with that.
