OK, but I still don't see what you are referencing.

You could just type it quickly here and we could be done with it or you can pretend like I am dodging it, lol.

You spend enough time in this forum -- I think it wouldn't be such a big deal for you to do that, lol.

Alright.

So you do not agree with the term materialist. Heed you, I use it in the philosophcial sense of the word, and do not mean to imply some association with materialism in the other sense. I am surprised, though, if someone would have thought that, by context, this would have ever been what I was suggesting.

What word do you prefer?

And. ...[text shortened]... ional level, a materialist... and what should I call that?

What are your pronouns, my friend?
Discombobulated.

Yeah.

Anatma probably was initially just liberation from the concept of self but it was definitely made into the notion of all things, one body in the classic Taoist sense.

I think it was just a theological innovation that truly gained place with Mahayana though.

Lol, ok, "Zen Master."

Looks like I got a lot of work ahead of me.

Is this some uppaya?

Is this my first lesson?

First lesson, don't 'try,' 'do'.

Now, empty your mind. (Blimey that was quick). Focus instead on the question:

'What is the sound of one hand clapping.' (Give it a good 4 hours).

Dhamma is a pretty explicitly Buddhist concept when you use the Pali spelling, IMO, but IDK, I might be biased due to my personal history.
Its the title of a book "Dhamma with a view to Nibbana"
