[Buddha-l] on the South Korean hostages

[Mitchell Ginsberg]

Hello all, 
Thanks for that report from the middle of Korea. Some of the (Christian-raised)
Koreans I have met were surprised that I was interested in Buddhism, and 
added that they never had the least encouragement to investigate that 
tradition. 
As for a couple of Richard's comments: 
(1) 
I myself would probably vote Republican if they would just field some decent 
candidates. Moreover, I can't imagine that anyone who really understood 
Confucius would vote for the kinds of Republicans now standing as candidates.
-----
I think they did. Didn't they put forth as candidate Abraham Lincoln? 
(2) 
Is there not a saying in India that every teacher is killed by his disciples? 
(One of my Sanskrit teachers told me that once. Unfortunately, I had no 
choice but to kill his disciples? (One of my Sanskrit teachers told me that 
once. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to kill him.)
---- 
Does this mean that you were his only student? 
with metta, 
Mitchell
