[Buddha-l] "The Origins of Om Manipadme Hum"

[jkirk]

Thanks for both mails--yes it IS a provocative theory that maybe
will produce some discussion 
Not being a specialist on Hinduism, still I seem to recall
comments pointing out that Shiva is not in the Vedas (although he
eventually got aligned with Rudra), and suggesting that he was
originally a mountain ("tribal") deity. That view adds something
to the Norbu approach.
