[Buddha-l] Phado and Buddhism

[Curt Steinmetz]

But you were talking about there being "profound differences" between 
the two passages, differences known to the initiated and/or those 
innately wise, and those who have eyes to see these differences gain 
surcease of sorrow or something like that - no, wait, it was some kind 
of immunity.

I have always liked the immunity metaphor. Exposure to bits and pieces 
of a dead form of a once living organism makes one unresponsive to any 
future exposure to the live forms of the same organism. This is the 
basis for the treatment of religion and philosophy in the modern Academy.
