Buddhism first of all does not view nature as you do. ... You haven't a clue to the actual meaning of the word tapasya and the intense nature and effort it takes to just scratch the surface of inner discipline. 1) How do you know how I view nature? Quite simply: you do not and cannot. 2) What's your point? I said I am not Buddhist. 3) No, I don't know what "tapasya" is. And...? 4) Exactly what do you mean by "intense nature"? "Effort" I understand, though I disagree w/ you... if inner discipline requires effort on your part, then there's a problem. Read Hesse's "Siddartha"... it may help you some. Buddhist's won't be seen in the Bath House or at the Penthouse club like Bill CLinton. DO you think he was one with nature ? No, I do not. I'm not looking for a President who is completely "one with nature". I am however looking for a President who isn't out to destroy nature and lead us into extinction. Peace, - Zen
