I thought your musings about gay republicans was as close an analogy to the "Who is a Christian" question as I have heard Glad I could add a little bit to your day. Feel free to borrow it if you ever need an analogy. Attribution not required. <g> I am not an expert on Buddha. I did a little homework and found a history of Buddha that is pretty readable. india.coolatlanta.com Here's an exerpt: <<But though he received an impressive following Buddha never claimed Divine status. Very few miracles are attributed to him. "Miracles" by the Buddha On one occasion a grieving lady carried her dead child to Buddha and asked him to revive it. This was a perfect setting for a miracle to be woven into religious folklore, but Buddhist records state that Buddha calmed the lady and told her that he would require three mustard seeds to revive her child. But the mustard seeds should be from a family where so far no one has ever died. To fulfill this seemingly simple request the lady went from house to house only to be told that sometime or the other, someone had died in every family. Gradually, the truth dawned upon the grieving lady and going to a cemetery, she laid down her child's body and taking its little hand in hers, she said "Beloved son, I thought that death has overtaken you alone. but no it overtakes all of us". She went back to Buddha and became his disciple. >>
