My use of the term dualism, most of the time and here at BWB definately, is broader than the definition given in the opening post. Dualism can be seen a conceptual understanding; where phenomena is divided into 2 opposed aspects and the world is seen as being in this state of division, ie. good or bad, friend or enemy, yours or mine, Buddhist or non- Buddhist, rebirth believer or non rebirth believer etc.
Such a view of things is very limiting and although it may help an individual feel safe and that they understand due to creating such divisions it is rarely how things are.
