Hm, I don't recall Tom saying anything in this instance about its being "final realization." He was making a different point. In any case, you appear to be mistaken, given that the term used in the sutra Tom was quoting is "kaivalya," final liberation. > He has perpetuated this falsehood numerous times on this list, > despite this fact being brought to his attention. Perhaps he simply didn't bother to point out your error.
