•  A Personal Dialogue with Reverend Briones
One more thing... as you stated in regards to Covenant... no such word in Buddhism. In Christianity God and man are dualistic in nature. Man will never be equal to God. Man will always be subservient to God... making deals. In Buddhism we become one. We can realize Buddhahood. Buddha is not some deity or some supreme creator and judge. API PFLAG Website More...
