Glenn,

I read recently in the 'Sociology of Philosophies' by Randell Cllins that the Lotus Sutra, on which I believe you said the mystic law was based, was written 500 years after the death of Gautama Buddha. So I presume it was not written by him. ould you explain?

Also, it seems that in Buddhism there is no soul. So could you explain what survives death for another life?

It's nice to hear from you again.

regards,

Richard
