buddhism by the back door mate. You found me out...ya see I 'prosletyse' (definitely mis-spelt) Gene...can't bloody help meself. want us all to go beyond the cultural and racial hurt and pain we've 'inherited' to direct experiences and transcend the small mindedness of the 'burdens' we allow ourselves to carry. why should I feel anger about an event that did not directly involve moi.  and Dan sorry mate I did a quote from the dalai lama the other day and stupidly signed it off making it look as if he posted it...unintentionally...his Holiness as far as I'm aware does not visit the board...he may do...hmmmm
