PF> Hi Clarence,
>DM> Dec. 8 [BUDDGISM] Bodhi Day - celebrated by many Buddhists as
>DM> anniversary of the enlightenment.
PF> The original schools of Buddhism do not celebrate Buddha's
PF> enlightenment on Dec 8th. I know this Dec 8th is a date associated
PF> with the Japanese Zen schools but I don't know if it has a wider
PF> application to rest of the Mahayana schools.
Hey Pete, DM ain't anywhere's close to CH, but I do know that you
are speaking of MY birthday, which is Dec 8th, 1932, whatever that
may mean! :) I was in Japan in 54-55, but didn't check out the
Zen schools, but wish I had now! :)
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
... IT DON'T PAY TO BE PERFECT, one tiny mistake and their all over ya'!
