Hello,
I came here from Dharma Wheel after I saw an essay I quoted from posted here.
My experience with Buddhism is almost exclusively from the Mahayana perspective and I am hoping to get some alternate opinions in regards to certain questions that I have about the Dhamma.
Please forgive any ignorance on my part and excuse the fact that my questions may seem foolish or basic. Also understand that I don't ask rhetorical questions and am pretty strict in regards to rules of logic. For example, my latest pet peeve is attempting to define things negatively(which is impossible).
Thank you,
James

Greetings James and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

Welcome James!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
