he's so fond of his opposition, we could deny him it by leaving. Anyone else keen
on the idea? If so, please let me know. One of the reasons why I like these forums
is because it is an open group, but the problems that people like Tang cause just
don't seem to warrant it as a place for real discussion. We could still
participate on this newsgroup of course, particularily in telling new people to
these newsgroups of the proposed private newsgroups' existance, but not much more
than that. Many of the things that are spoken of in Tibetan Buddhism, in any case
I think are more disposed towards privacy.

So perhaps we must whip the cart instead of the horse so to speak. Perhaps we're
overlooking the fact that we don't need to change Tang's behaviour at all, merely
curtail it in our discussions of Buddhism.

All thing-events occur in space, but space does not move. Gold and dust are
treated the same way. Existence and oblivion are indifferent to it. They are not
even one click different from each other.

Don't Buddhist cultivate equanimity and samadhi power, and once they are attained,
don't Buddhist want to display them in their behaviour? Or is it the case that
some Buddhists don't want to flaunt what they have?
