The Buddha Is Like Hume
a: The buddha ~
b: Hume
What: "The Buddha is like Hume in wanting to set man free from his own irrational attempts to build metaphysical scaffolding as a vantage point for perceiving the nature and destiny of almost everything about which man has ever had a persisting question" The rest is a comparison of the Buddha with a list of well known Western philosophers.

Mahayana Buddhism Is Like Catholicism
a: Mahayana buddhism ~
b: Catholicism
What: "Mahayana Buddhism is like Catholicism in that both religions deify their prophet and worship him with the understanding of him as being beyond mortal. Theravada Buddhism, on the other hand, is more like Oriental Orthodox Christianity in that both follow the teachings of their prophet without attributing to him any form of divinity or supernatural aspects.

Praying To Buddha

The Peeled Onion
a: Peeling the onion ~
b: digging into your heart/psyche
What: The phrase is a buddhist notion. As a person digs into themselves, it is not a single event or enlightenment or emotion relief. It is an organic process of revealing and removing a multitude of layers. This process has many layers, like the layers in an onion. If you can't understand this, go buy an onion and peel it. Layers of what? There are layers of memory, emotion, concepts and life as it really is.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy
and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
