Buddhism has a story about what we are REALLY like in our most basic nature which contrasts in important ways from the story told in the Judeo/Christian Garden of Eden myth about who we really are — and why our world is full of suffering and toil. Yet, there are some interesting similarities between the Judeo/Christian creation myth as depicted in the story of The Garden of Eden and the story about Basic Goodness (Buddha Nature) and the 3 kayas.
Be prepared to discuss some of these similarities and differenences in class Tuesday. You can also post some comments here in this blog by way of response.
Thank you!
