Dear Kare, Nina, Mike and friends,

Mike: I can understanding your style of writing emails. I think it is
totally a matter of personal taste the way an individual compose his
messages. However, I do sometimes find them too blunt. It is still ok
to talk rough between guys, provided no one gets personal. However,
please be mindful that there are ladies on the list too. Therefore, I
would suggest that we go a bit light-hearted in our exchanges.

Otherwise, I think you have raised a valid point. But, then, Nina may
have other opinions.

metta,
Yong Peng.

What is your understanding of the goal of what the Buddha taught is
if it isn't to escape nama and rupa?
