As maybe I have made here some understanding of my relationship with Buddhism I do not hold rites and rituals. I am aware about this:

There is the case where a monk is virtuous, but not fashioned of (or: defined by his) virtue.

In the particular case of the tradition I am practicing rites and rituals are severly austere and we do not reley on them. One of the aspects that have made me run away from religions are rites and rituals. We have a very deep emphasis in the 4NT and the 8NP.

And again I can just agree with MN 78.

Thanks Frank,
