Those who will not learn from the past are doomed to repeat their mistakes in the future. The real mistake is in the view underlying the action. In your case this conceit of mahayana superiority and the delusion, "paying attention to the teachings of the Buddha is 'fundamentalism'" are the mistakes that will hinder you for a long time.

sigh...

There have been many teachers since the Buddha. My view is just fine. Please don't judge me or try to teach me. I have a teacher already and am not in need of your fundamentalist pronouncements. You don't know me and are in no way qualified to decide whether I possess "Mahayana conceit" or not. Your behavior is very similar to Namdrol's at e-sangha and is boorish at best. Fortunately, you do not possess the ability to make posts disappear and to ban people. I shudder to think of what this place might be like if you did. Ah well...round and round.

Good luck,
Keith

edit: I am sure this post will draw the ire of the mods here, deservedly so. It is a ad hom attack. In my defence, I tried to drop it and admit that I was wrong for posting here. And I am certainly not the first person to feel that Stuka's posts are very heavy handed and discourage discussion.
