this kid needs to stay clear of roads, is all I'm sayin.

There is an old Zen saying, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill the Buddha."

If we can ignore for a moment the, shall we say, evangelical pronouncements of one such as fiveeagle (whose beliefs I respect, if not endorse), and rteacher as well, that it is possible that this greater 'god' is beyond a mere 'Christian' god or a Jewish one, or the Allah version. What strikes me right about the Buddhist interpretation is to not incorporate the godhead into a single being. I think they have that right. The divine is within us all, call it what you will. And we, as the most sentient beings on this planet, have both the capacity and the responsibility to generate this connection within ourselves first, and, with any luck, with others. Forget the Mormons, well-dressed as they are. Forget the Jehova's Witnesses, as well-intentioned as they are. They've only got a part of the message, and that's what they're selling. The real deal happens when one finds an ambience, in one's own space, to relate to the unnamed and the unknowable.
