I have a few questions after reading these books. I would love to write to him with these questions but i can't find any address anywhere

Hi philosophia,

You might be able to contact Matthieu Ricard at one of his website addresses or send a letter care of the book publishers.

I haven't read any of his books myself, but I know that he is respected by Tibetan Buddhists and in the wider community, so therefore we need to be mindful to debate the beliefs being questioned, rather than becoming over-critical of the person who is expressing them.

The above post is far too long - and should have been split into about 4 posts at least! You can still do this by using the editing facility .
. Additionally,its helpful to give some links to the texts you mention, or to a resource which makes similar statements, showing what it is that you disagree with...and maybe just ask the group one question at a time.

Later

I am moving this thread to the 'Beyond Belief' forum. I also forgot to mention that there's a 12 hour limit on editing.(but it tells you that anyway in the 'help' info found at the top of the main page)

Kind regards,

A-D
