ED, Okay - fair enough. The reason I asked is that you just did as you do so often: present something without putting it in any kind of context. I'd suggest you at least preface it with something like 'What do you thing of this?'; and better yet let us know your feelings on it also.

Buddha Nature is non-dualistic so by definition is neither male/female, and all-inclusive. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "ED" <seacrofter001@...> wrote: > > > > Bill, > > To solicit your view as a Zenist, should you choose to share it, of men > (or women) in our culture engaged in an endeavor to reset the roles for > men (or women.) > > --ED > > > > --- In [email protected], "Bill!" <BillSmart@> wrote: > > > ED, > > Why did you post this here? ...Bill! > > > > --- In [email protected] > <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Zen_Forum/post?postID=rz7_hoortlmhdn8soEe\ > d-Fk9Yu1zYQDPeaosUlbI_5GGtz7q2SSt_vbD9Q0ZfiaHGTKgOCa-PyZBblgcHzTAg-4QITA\ > > , "ED" <seacrofter001@> wrote: > > > > Concepts and experiences > > > > --------------------------- > > > > [TheShiftNetwork Logo.jpg] <http://ultimatemenssummit.com/ > <http://ultimatemenssummit.com/> > > > Dear Ann, > > Thanks again for joining us last week for our Conscious Partnering > > Conference!
