Lol...I was looking. It's difficult to keep track when most threads end with an insane rant from Linda or Dbl.

yes, difficult for you to keep track of all your obessions here. you're real real busy helen.
But why dont you go find your dilly-dally spirit? You know the one you put on, when you want to act like youre some psuedo-intellecutual and can comprehend what the Dali Lami speaks about?? That phoney azz one.

And lets all bend our heads down in a moment of silence for kiaras past year of deep deep sorrow of losing a fingernail or someother piddley crap.

There's no need to be an "intellectual to understand the Dalai Lama. I understand however that narrow minded conservatives have a problem with such tolerance.
Excerpts from the Noble Prize acceptance speech
"No matter what part of the world we come from, we are all basically the same human beings. We all seek happiness and try to avoid suffering. We have the same basic human needs and is concerns. All of us human beings want freedom and the right to determine our own destiny as individuals and as peoples. That is human nature. The great changes that are taking place everywhere in the world, from Eastern Europe to Africa are a clear indication of this."
"As a Buddhist monk, my concern extends to all members of the human family and, indeed, to all sentient beings who suffer. I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share. Although I have found my own Buddhist religion helpful in generating love and com passion, even for those we consider our enemies, I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart and a sense of universal responsibility with or without religion."
"With the ever growing impact of science on our lives, religion and spirituality have a greater role to play reminding us of our humanity. There is no contradiction between the two. Each gives us valuable insights into the other. Both science and the teachings of the Buddha tell us of the fundamental unity of all things. This understanding is crucial if we are to take positive and decisive action on the pressing global concern with the environment."
"I believe all religions pursue the same goals, that of cultivating human goodness and bringing happiness to all human beings. Though the means might appear different the ends are the same."
"As we enter the final decade of this century I am optimistic that the ancient values that have sustained mankind are today reaffirming themselves to prepare us for a kinder, happier twenty-first century."
"I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we succeed in building a better world through human under-standing and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings."

What's difficult about that to understand???
ah yes,thats where the word pseudo comes in.
You pretend to understand it, comprehend it and agree with it (after all, how could you denounce that which is your criteria for excellence - someone who wins a nobel peace prize?) but your actions on these boards belie any true understanding, or grasp of what it means. Youre spirit is a disorderly mess and muddle like the files you keep of posts here. In one breath you are slumming God and monotheism, and the next you are agreeing with it, only because it is academically trendy for you to follow others who do so.
What a fake!
Go dilly dally your toes in your muck pond helen. They are turning blue by now from lack of oxygen.

Dbl, you will have to take your crazy uninformed rant elsewhere. I'm not interested in batting the ball back and forth with a nut.

Good, because I'm not interested in 'discussing' the virtues and spirit of the dali lami with the impaired cranium of the likes of a freeking dead mummy as you. - You, who believes in nothing!.. wants to laud a man like the dali lami! What a joke! You, who couldnt harness that spirit no matter how hard you try to academically pretend to understand it. You, if they unwrapped the blood stricken adhesives off your dead being all day long would still be a pile of dust and bones.
