Theos-Talk Archives (May 1996 Message tl00518)

Hi, Rich,

taking HPB seriously - agreed
presenting stuff in line with what the Masters gave out - great.
What I wish I could see, instead of all this digging around in all these
horribly complicated & unfruitful past relationships between theosophists,
is HPB's ideas & the Masters' ideas applied to modern day problems. For
instance in the conversations with the Dalai Lama which I just read about,
he applies Buddhism to population control, because he says if we don't have
family planning,(please note PLANNING, abortion *wasn't* mentioned) there
will be even more starving children. He also applies Buddhist beliefs to
conservation - to working with the earth instead of against it.
