I so respect your section on what Buddha said as he practiced longer. We know more about him too. Faith my trump practice to some people. In my first exposure to the eightfold path I realized that good Christians are walking the path already. The only tenants of faith in conflict are no-self; no God; No personification in regards to creation. I'm throwing around the idea of attachment and aversion in regards to hope and fear. Dispassion is involved in Christianity as well. i'm rethinking the bounds of meditation and the relation to self,community, and spirit. Buddhist define compassion and success a little differently but I think it has more to do with culture than sect or the establishment. I'm becoming interested in Science and Economic thought. Buddhist and Christians see a different purpose for themselves perhaps as well. Buddhism is a philosophy seeking religious understanding; Christianity is a religion seeking a philosophy.
