Wow... All I can really say is , that I am amazed... I never expected so many would turn out for this! Be their opinions more of a positive or negative form. I really do not care in what you might call "defending" my post, instead I see this as more than a wonderful way to learn, as many others here may agree. I would first like to thank those who have more knowledge than I in this area, thank you for your insight. I am really thankful for you. Another act of thanks I would like to give to those who have found resources or direct quotes to better improve this thread. Thank you, for your hard work also. And, I would also like to thank all and everyone who has taken the time to check this thread out, and give your opinions and or views.

As many have asked, or posted they do not know my knowledge in Buddhism or they were wondering. Well, i never intended to "show off" in this thread, actually i was hopeing to recieve more experienced knowledge in this area. I do have some knowledge but, not extencively. Once again, I thank those who do have knowledge in this area and were nice enough to share. I myself am not Buddhist, I am Eclectic Wiccan. But, I do have relatives who are Buddhist, this religion have always fasinated me on any of its levels. Though I have not had teachings from them specifically, they have shaped my life as a whole.

I hope this has helped or allowed everyone willing to discuss on this topic, some form of learning or expansion or allowed them to see a new view and or further develop an older one.

Again, I would like to thank all who have posted. You really have made me happy and I feel that whatever becomes of this thread is still handeled with as much compassion, attension and knowledge as you all have shown.

Thank you

Respectfully,

The Ka

P.S. Remember, Carpe Diem...
