Oct 30 2003

Dear friends:

Those who may have read ISIS UNVEILED the 2nd volume, will have noticed
that HPB gives ample evidence showing how Church Christianity borrowed
extensively from exoteric forms of Buddhism in terms of rites, rituals
and other external procedures. The resemblance is striking.

For instance read in ISIS UNVEILED Vol. II pp. 30-50, 82, 109,
123, 165-6, 178, 251-2, 288-90, 341-47' 308, 406, 469, 501-28, 530-561,


Best wishes,

Dallas

All,
Another worthy term used explicitatly in Christian constructs is
the 
term "Glory"
expressly used to indicate the Spiritual Radiance of the
Transfigurated 
Jesus. Many
Buddhist temples of all divisions of Buddhism display the emanative 
radiance of
production usualy according to a canon that delineates the rule of
Color 
surround
respective of those worthy of reverence. The Tunhuang Cave figures
come to 
mind.
The Buddhist University of Nalanda surely has reference to many
works of 
Art 
on this topic. It seems to me to be a more or less universal
transmission 
among
the historical cultures and religions who relate such perceptions seen
by 
many
over a vast arena of time. 
As to a solitary loyalty to the writtings of the Nicene Fathers,
perhaps 
one of the
more erudite on this list could help refresh my memory and state which
one 
made
this statement: "We create thsse lies for the good of the many."
