[Buddha-l] "Soul" and Buddhism

[Weng-Fai Wong]

On a related note, I once met an Indian gentleman who resides in New
Zealand. He came to Singapore to do some research and he was asking for my
help for some Buddhist texts in Chinese (which of course I was unable to
help much). He claims to have discovered a secret way in which the ancient
scriptures of all traditions were encrypted. And that they are say the same
thing (which he refused to elaborate). All the religions got their texts
wrong and failed to understand the true meaning of their text, he claimed.
