    i've started reading a book called the modern buddhist's bible and i'm liking a lot of things about the religion so far.

    of course i don't know much yet, but there seem to be some very good points to buddhism.

    one thing i love is the emphasis on "killing" the ego (or whatever you might want to call what buddhists try to do with their egos!).

    I think the lack of dogmatism is a reflection of staying on the Middle Path. We've all seen enough of the craziness that comes from having extreme and intolerable viewpoints.

    I was growing old waiting for Jehovah's celestial chariot to keep up with me.

    I'm into a Western version of Zen. I don't believe everything I read about Buddha, just as I don't believe everything I read about Jesus. I just try to glean wisdom from their teachings that can help me in my life. What I've learned about Buddhism has really helped me find an inner peace. I've posted several threads about Zen Living, would love to hear your take on them.

    I especially enjoyed the footage of the Great Tribulation, Armageddon, and the Resurrection. Isn't it wonderful to be on a Paradise earth?
