I was only speaking of the compassion you expressed for me based on the assumption you made that my life is being wasted. Compassion for suffering that doesn't exist isn't really compassion and a rather ridiculous sentimentality in a world with so much suffering.

As for Trungpa, I know his Dharma and the Dharma of those who considered him a highly realized man. I don't know yours. It's not very evident in the kind of ego-attachment that would lead to publicly insulting a widely recognized lama like that.

What you say is true, TigersEye. You are entirely correct on all counts. No further comeback from me. You win.
