Well, I'm thinking original forms of the religion before years of
"progress," money influence, Western influence and now political
influence warped much of the discipline. It may require a trip to
India, and one to China, to see it in its most representative "root"
forms.
This is from observation, a few selected readings and personal
interaction with a few who wield buddhism well, that are acquainted
to me. I don't believe in Socratic discourse. I also do not believe
in "Western" absolutist symbolism. Thus in many ways, this is all I
can tell anyone...
