It's a bit vain, but I always think of 'enlightenment' myself.

I know what it means...
But how do you *feel* about the word "Buddhist" ?

Hello,
Statues of a head shaven chubby fellow with big man boobs.
When I was 12 and gained a lot of weight that year I got really flabby on the chest and my sisters and friends said, holy cow, you look like Buddha the Buddhist.
Cheers,
Michael Kelly

Different translations of the bible would suggest love and charity are synonmus. Examples found in.1st Corrinthians ch. 13 vs. 1-17 illustrate this many times. I would enjoy hearing from a scholar of the languages used in those past times to clarify my understanding. The story of the "World's Poorest Philanthropist", Gilbert "Harold" Ewing II (myself) is the reason for this querry. The " act of grace", or charity, reffered to in the news interview, has posited this question and I lack the sort of education to provide any insights of true value.

Funnily enough, a study group I am involved with is asking that very same question. Someone who is on the path to realising truth.

Obesity, fat statue.
How can you judge enlightenment?
The big question is what has it really done for this world??

Well considering I practice Buddhism I would classify it as pure in my book ;D
