I must apologize. I've been having a rather bad time lately and it has been reflecting in both my practice and how I approach discussing it. I need to address some personal issues. You've all been very patient and with your answers to my questions and explanations. Looking back on my posts, I think I have been approaching the discussion with baited questions and loaded statements, and for that, I am very sorry.

I'll try to return to the discussion when I feel I have my head back in the right place.

e: and I agree, Yorkshire. Thank you, Paramemetic.

Finally, only buddhas know the true path and flowering of ones karma. Where you see a disabled person, a buddha may see a fellow bodhisattva manifesting for the benefit of beings. Or perhaps this person is a once-returner purifying the remnants of their negative karma. The point is that you cannot tell, so all sentient beings should be honoured with the respect due the Tathagatha.

This is beautiful.
