[Buddha-l] Buddhism and Blasphemy

[Timothy Smith]

I dunno, MIke.  The discussion here constantly give me an opportunity  
to check out my own practice
in terms of the issues and responses I have to what I read here.  For  
me, at least, bringing what I've learned from academic study
and hands on practice into the world is what matters at this stage of  
the game.  Most of what transpires here
has some seed of the question "how should I live a more awakened  
life" somewhere inside it.  I get a great deal
of value trying to crack that kernel.

At some point, however, the dialogue can become tedious, but the  
moderators have a light touch so some of
that is to be expected, no?
