Martin on October 15, 2014 at 7:33am            @MattyLJ, so long as one does not drift into batty Mahayana with all of its saints (bodhisattvas) and the apparent apotheosis of Gautama, Buddhism, viewed as a system of morals and ethics, is practically without peer.Comment by Joan Denoo on November 24, 2013 at 1:54pm            Laars Zwarte may I be so bold to say being silent in face of rudeness implies agreement. Those monks undoubtedly heard the silence more than they heard the words. Comment by Joan Denoo on November 24, 2013 at 1:47pm            The Zen Predator of the Upper East SideAnother bit of evidence of hanky-panky in a manipulative, exploitative group under the guise of Zen Buddhism. They just keep sprouting up like cockleburs, a prickly bur that clings readily to dependent, vulnerable, immature, and gullible individuals who seek enlightenment. Posted by Joan Denoo on November 23, 2013 at 11:40am in Politics, Economics, and Religion

Can anyone tell me which school of monks wear day glo orange robes? I wanted to speak with them, however the Xtians who were in the restaurant were openly rude to them, ("They don't believe in the bible") so I abstained. I am in Northern Florida. My preliminary info seems to show that they may be Thai monks.
Thanks!

Laars, Batchelor is excellent on Buddhism, and was interested in his atheist book too.  Thanks for jarring my memory of that, so I can find a copy for myself.
