| Jan 1, 2016 at 22:43 | comment | added | user4970 | The questions you raise are legitimate and have indeed been a subject of very considerable discussions. However, I dont feel able to do justice to the extent of the discussion that would be required to elucidate your points. I do try to be concise and keep to the question. Any answer to any question can of course spin off many additional questions especially in this kind of format. | |
| Jan 1, 2016 at 20:07 | comment | added | ChrisW♦ | I'm not insisting on a chat. I think my comments are often meant as a 'request for clarification' when I find some point in your answer which I think you could make clearer, not by your adding comments or chat but by your adding to (i.e. editing) your own answer ... add a sentence or two, a reference, whatever you think best. Or ignore my comment if you think it's unnecessary (and/or you can 'flag' any comment which you think is obsolete, unnecessary, or whatever). In this case I'm not sure my comment is worthwhile: it was (just) fantasizing about how someone could misunderstand the answer. | |
| Jan 1, 2016 at 18:53 | comment | added | user4970 | Those are meaty questions that IMHO go beyond the scope of a comment. I understand there is a chat feature here but have never used it. See, however, David Loy, ""Rethinking Karma," Tricycle, located at tricycle.com/columns/my-view-rethinking-karma?page=0,1. | |
| Jan 1, 2016 at 16:30 | comment | added | ChrisW♦ | I was guessing that the OP's friend might be naive and that statements like "every effect results from a cause" (is that blame-the-victim, are you saying it's my fault? does it imply predestination, inevitability?) and "everything is illusory" (what, suffering isn't real?) might not be easy to understand without a little more explanation. | |
