[Buddha-l] Buddha's Meditation

[Dan Lusthaus]

> You really having a problem with that, or just itching to argue?

I really don't know which you mean, Timothy.

If "their" applies to redwoods, then my comments are all moot, based on a 
misunderstanding. If it applies to the "assembly" than my comments are 
germane, and your lack of understanding why that is the case is very 
disconcerting.

So, are you being coy, or can you tell us -- or me -- which of the two 
options (or another option, if you wish) the possessive pronoun "their" is 
attaching itself to?
