Thanks for the links on The Gracchi, really useful stuff! Gratiae pro links in Graccham , vere utilis effercio!
You made a good point about the US. I also saw people talking about 9/11 t-shirts and saying they would wear them... sick!!!
So now you are a non-Buddhist? Very Zen! Peace out brother.
For many years I called myself a Buddhist, but most recently I tend not to label myself. I never believed in any of the non-material parts such as reincarnation. Are you seeing this? I'm not sure how to use this forum's 'view conversation' thing.
Thanks for the information about Pure Land, are you a buddhist?
