> As I noted before, aren't there infinite cycles of about 4 billion years?-This is true for Hinduism, but I don't think the Tao Te Ching (Chinese) agrees on that. I just picked up a couple of books on it. (Tao is pre-Buddhist chinese religion.)-I've been learning that Tibetan Buddhism is a syncretism with Buddhism and the native religion of Tibet (influenced of course by Tao, but with about as many deities as Hinduism.)-I'll let you know what they write about this. (It might not agree wit hinduism as it developed differently.)

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
