It is a gift of our free faiths for our growth. Christian and Buddhist worlds construct the universe, humanity, our ultimate goals and ends, and our experience of onsciousness very differently. Yet for all their differences, the West and the East have been in contact with each other directly and indirectly over many years. The Buddhists don't worry about just helping all people become enlightened, they want to bring all sentient beings to enlightenment which includes the birds, the bees. The absence of the soul idea means that we are not separate from other life forms but part of a larger universe which includes us. Belief in God is central to all Christians. Buddhism has heaven and hell realms but they are not ontological. We are all trying to climb the same mountain. There are many paths up the mountain. On the rainy side of the mountain, everything is lush and green along the path. On the dry side of the mountain the path is barren and rocky. If we look only at the path, they look very different. But if we follow the paths to their destination, they arrive at the same place. Worry. God knows all about you. What wouldn't Jesus do? Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once. If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0! Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? It's lonely at the top, but you eat better. As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. If you were born again, would you have two belly buttons? I get no answer. :-) yo
