Buddhism

[Paul Henry Rosenberg]

I was raised Unitarian in the orbit of the Bay Area, and so encountered
Buddhism at an early age.  I think our Buddhist, Christian, went very
much to the heart of the matter. 

I've got considerable respect for bare-bones Buddhism, particularly
when, as seems the case with Christian's teacher, there's an emphasis on
the Bodhisatvah's vow, which recognizes individual salvation only in
universal salvation.  

Since the Unitarians were by then part of the Unitarian/Universalist
association, it seemed to me as a kid of 8 or 9 that I was just getting
accquainted with the Asian branch.  

And, of course, my Unitarian fellowship was full of jewish lefties, too.

Plus, the idea of "Right Livelihood" sure has anything I've heard of
capitalist economics beat by a country mile, that's fur sure.
