Exhibit A Re: As for noticing everyone as enlightened

You have just demonstrated the traits in people that I really donīt
like. Superficiality, attacking, belief, prejudice,
misunderstanding. Time to visit my buddhist world now, Danny boy.

In fact, I have studied Buddhism longer than most. I have received most
Tibetan teachings from the so called lowest to the highest and most secret.
I meditated by watching my breath (Vipassana) for years. I practice
contemplation everyday of what my real nature is. I have done major retreats
in very isolated places. Still, I question my teachers and most importantly,
my own perceptions. I do this everyday. Part of this is to challenge others
and their perceptions. That is all I meant in my original post to you.

After all these years I do not consider myself a Buddhist or any other
label. However, your proselytizing is not Buddhist at all. The Buddha did
not approach his life in that way. I refer you to the Pali Canon or for a
more condensed version read the Visuhimagga .
