       huxley calls out Buddhism on the absurdity of some of its doctrines earlier in the book but more or less loudly espouses the idea that mahayanas are more enlightened than yogis/buddhas who dont reincarnate

       imo bodhisattvas have a role to play in Gods lila but they aren't above buddhas and they certainly aren't above God. God is mankinds infinitely compassionate helper, by His grace all are liberated in their time. isnt that enough?

       @georgia nobody could wish for more, but the issue is that the infinite grace is not easily visible to many people

       @lain very true. mahayana Buddhism strikes me as preferring love of neighbor to love of God, but isnt it in the spirit of God that we take care of the least of them?

       @lain my belief about mahayanas is kind of affected by my dislike for the dalai lama. he doesnt strike me as fully enlightened. spiritually evolved sure, he has demonstrated bodhichitta of some degree. but not enlightened. however a lot of tibetan Buddhism is pretty cool, like rainbow body.
