Stephen Batchelor, Buddhist author of "Buddhism without Beliefs," is giving a talk on "Buddhism, Agnosticism, and Atheism." I realize these subjects are taboo here in TTB, but I wanted to make this event known to LA Bums who have a healthy ecumenical spirit.

It seems this discussion is more for Stephen's benefit than anyone else's. Stephen appears to have something he wants to get off his chest, and that's fine. But if that's the case, why should I pay to hear him voice his difficulties with Buddhism? I suggest Stephen join this fourm here and discuss what bothers him. I shouldn't have to pay money to hear someone's confession. That is insane.

 

I live in LA area but I won't be coming to that talk.
