[Buddha-l] Buddhism and Psychology research

[Timothy Smith]

Yes, I think you picked up on my little twist there, Richard.  Sorry to see the whole anti-semite thing rear up again, but not surprised.
The literature on  this subject is vast.  Depending on where you stand, it tends to look one way or the other, and a quick perusal of the net for articles yields a multiplicity of sources, approaches and conclusions.  Each may draw his/her own.  My view is that it has no place in this dialog unless one wants a certain dog to whip.

But no one is perfect, and I'd rather focus on the suffering these people eliminated than on their failure to be perfect. So my nomination of both of these fellows still stands.
