Subject: [Buddha-l] Buddhist Intolerance?
Dear Fellow Buddha-Lers,
I have been recently been charged with coming up with
a paper on 
intolerance in Buddhism, and I'm a bit at a loss as to
how to 
approach it. 

MG: I would think this would depend in part on the
source of
this charging and on your own perspective about that.
Is this
for an Egyptian university journal, for example? or a
book with
a particular overall thrust to it? Is the charge to
show that 
Buddhist tradition is (also?) not free of its own
intolerance? 
There is also the question of how a given tradition
(such as 
Buddhism, to reify that here) responds to intolerance
against
it. (I think of the Gilgit MSS that Heinz Bechert and
others 
studied, left behind in high and dry caves before the
arrival
of some individuals from the West with the convincing 
argument of the sword, shall we say.) 
Perhaps I digress here. 
Hope you are well and satified in your current
position! 
warm regards, 
Mitchell G.
