Mark, did you know that he Dalai Lama considers homosexuality to be immoral?
He feels the same way about standing behind a pint.
Every religion has it's dogma as does every culture. Buddhism appears
uniquely willing to look at it's dogma ( at least from where I stand), but
it's still there. I think that Westerner's only get the best of Buddhism
(in other words, its most intellectual version is what gets exported) since
they get it from books rather than through their upbringing. I often wish I
had been born into a Buddhist family instead of a Christian one since I find
Buddhism much more intellectually appealing, but I wonder if I would have
bristled at its dogma, too.
