Sometimes I say 'Jumpin Josephus' without believing that old Jo was a jumper, and sometimes I say that something is 'in the lap of the gods' without…you get the idea. Anyway, I'm glad to know that an old radical like you finds my blog readable. May the coming year bring peace, contentment and happiness to you.Shravasti Dhammikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246408068143301108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-88214225022566217932009-01-01T20:48:00.000-08:002009-01-01T20:48:00.000-08:00Happy New Year Venerable Sir,Thank you as ever for...Happy New Year Venerable Sir,<BR/><BR/>Thank you as ever for your teaching. I do want to point out two places you gave me a chuckle -- and both were in your parenthetical "Good God! That’s what some of the recruits to the Sangha were like then"<BR/><BR/>After mentioning God within the context of a mythological argument, it's funny to then use that exclamation. And of course, recruits to the Sangha have never been not like that, since there are always rotten apples. I remember when I visited Kyoto and learned the monks from opposing temples would make war on each other. So much for all beings being peaceful. Well. In any case, a most auspicious year of the ox to you. And I look forward to more of your always thought provoking musings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
