ok mike,thanks..merle
  
Merle,

Why is that my "take"? What I wrote wasn't an opinion, but a fact. What 
Rastafarians believe in is the antithesis of Buddhism: a dualism created by 
self and other (god) and a permanent soul (atman). That's not a subjective 
opinion piece. You might just as well say the KKK are 'Zen'.
