I'm with him on this article. I think I found Batchelor to be more eye-opening than you did because of when I read it. When I read it, I had just had my first conversation on BWB about the fact that it's okay for me to call what I'm doing "dharma practice" without buying into metaphysical supernatural dogma like karma. I was still coming to realize that it was even acceptable to do what he's describing, and what so many people on BWB describe as their own dharma practice.

So perhaps the difference is that it was far newer to me; I only started talking to stuka very recently. =P
