[Buddha-l] law

[jkirk]

No way. If that were the case, would there have been a Buddha?
What about avidya? what about anitya? or anatman?
All ideas or insights that do not occur naturally to most minds because it 
takes a specially insightful mind to discover these. Someone who sis around 
and thinks instead of plotting.
In their absence, we have "dar ul harb", or the state of warfare,
or Hobbes's war of all against all.
