Today is "Rosh Hashanah" -- the Jewish New year. It actually started last night, like all dates Jewish, at sundown. According to tradition The Ultimate recreated the world in 5765. All the time before that is 'before' and all the time after that is after. It helps to recognize that the source of Buddhahood, enlightenment, etcetera is not any particular man, but inherent in "life" itself. Time itself is an illusion of our limited perception. Anyway happy new year. And I'll celebrate the new year again in January, and observe the Chinese New year in the spring. That is how we should live our lives. No need to fight. Just notice the distinctions appreciate the wisdoms, and try to avoid stepping in the other stuff.
