Bill...
 I love the way "you " write Bill.... Spoken like a true Buddhist.....But as a Buddhist you also Know ,that you are not your body....that it is your body that is sick..and not "you"....And I also enjoy our exchanges...We both want to know Truth....Sharing insights does not offend those who are "True" in the motives...I have nothing to hold onto...Therefore I can listen....and listening to you .Bill...is an Honor....I am going to start my Monthly contribution to Elephant Journal today....I can handle 9.00 a month..Maybe ..I can give more when the flow is right.....I want to see you and Waylon continue,what to me is one of the best and most Honest Magazines cruising the Planet....All of you speak from the Heart....and That I will support....Stay Clear Bill...see you on the Path

With all respect My Friend..and I do respect your Path...I truly feel that Tibetan Buddhism ,along with Christianity,All of the Worlds great Faiths ,..as well as the other schools of Thought,,are quietly merging into a One Very Clear Understanding ,of what the hell is going On.Why we are here....How do our different Beliefs connect,and how are they coming to a common Point.Buddha was Christ to me...Pointing the way to Walk,.. Pointing the Way for Us Beings to Wake Up .All of this must have a common Source...and a common destination,,which is our Becoming aware of our True Nature..Our United Path...Our Oneness.Tibetan Buddhism in America is not dying..it is evolving and joining with New Thought...New understandings...It is Being True to its Original Intent..which is to Free Us from this Dream..To show Us all how Beautiful and incredible we Are..Peace

Thank you Joyce...This is a very enlightening response...And it was done in a gentle and helping way...Right I should have done more research ...Good lesson to learn...But I do not think that Bill or I were intently trying to degrade women...There is so much to learn on this..and it is Time that we knowledge the past ignorance and reach out to help each other to begin to live this wonderful reality...".Women and Men are like the wings of a bird...unless they are both equal... Man can not fly...."{Bahai Writingsa Womans}.....Your response is what we need ..an enlighten sharing of a Woman"s view.....and Thats all I was saying

A fundamentalist I am not....All I was saying is that at least in Buddhism, discrimination of women was not a major theme that was used to suppress women..where as in Christianity & Islam ,they made the subjugation of women an act of God...and it wasn't......an there again...helping some one to see another aspect to a particular point ,can be done in a gentle manner.....I may not be correct in some of my points...I am willing to understand...and I am sorry if I offended you...I meant no harm....

So True Cameron...But the Spiritual aspect to of of this is not Religious..Not from man made Beliefs...Which as we know ,are more design to control and manipulate than enlighten...and it is all not Political either ..Politics has the same motive currently..to control and apease those who "believe" they are in Power....I don't Believe they are...Naive I may be..But something tells me the Veil is being lifted..and like the Na Vi in Avatar...who Believe that the forces of Life will prevail in the end...I do Believe this.....Great article.... http://www.twitlonger.com/show/18b4eb4ce326faeb43...
