I respect your opinion. I would respectfully point out, however, that you have provided absolutly nothing to disprove any of the points I have made.

I hope it doesn’t come as too great a shock to you, but stating that someone is full of bullshit does not prove ot to be so. An assertion is not even evidence, much less proof.

Every thing you have said is nothing more than assertions as well. However, my assertions are based on 12 years of practice of Tibetan Buddhism and 16 years of close friendship with my teacher. I have had more hours of conversation with him on this subject than I can count and many hours listening to teachings and personal stories of Tibetan born teachers. In addition to just a bit of reading of the teachings, stories and history of Buddhism and Tibet.

Most of all I can speak from the experience of having practised the teachings long and hard. Not as well as some others and perhaps not as well as I should have but more than most I think and with some strong approval from my teacher for my understanding specifically. He has pointedly said so when I have been in doubt and it is not in his personality to make idle comments much less flatter anyone.

What you have said is simply utter bull shit. I don't give a fat rat's ass if you like that or not it is the truth.

Shermy baby, you are welcome to believe whatever you want to believe. I know what I know and I am in a position to know it.
