I like that quote.
what are your thoughts on the lotus sutra. what do u think it means compared to the surangama sutra and why do both complement each other (as buddhism extols interconnectedness so they must complement each other)? Also What is the chan sect and why are you drawn to it. Do u have a link to the lotus sutra in sanskrit phonetically spelled out in english so one can chant it? What r d Suzuki's thoughts on the lavankatara also? Also do you feel true goodness is a spark routinely witnessed in individuals who are typically ensconsed in the mundane pull between good/evil yin/yang.
