Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Nelly were you when we Christians needed you. Oh, the fickle french. Have you read my book? I wrote a short story called " Traveling in the Direction of Smallness " along the lines of Penny's post here, except my perspective wasn't Buddhist - just Buddha like. Did I tell you I saw a bunch of Buddhist temples in China and ate some great vegan food? But I digress again. a Jeanne Penny wrote on August 8, 2007 If we're gonna get all philisophical, check this out. The Buddhists don't believe in " large " . They believe " reality " exists in the very small. That the vastest of universes exist in particles invisible to the naked eye. So to extrapolate, what the general public doesn't understand is that these tiniest of bacteria, which we're helping mutate through our own ignorance, actually have the potential to be far more destructive than all the natural disasters or the wildest sci-fi monster scenarios our writers could ever dream up. By the way, the Buddhists also believe that ALL of this is nothing but a construct of our own imaginations anyway...so there you go. :-) penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
