	Thank you, Rich Harter, for pointing out that the definitions
	given by Ken Ewing are decidely influenced by the Judaeo-Christian
	point of view.  Your capsule summary of Hinduism is as good a way
	as any of encapsulating the fundamental doctrine of the search
	for Nirvana (release, forever-death).

	Y'see, that's the problem we non-JC (I'm gettin' tired of typing that)
	folks have; the JC'ers want to look at other religious/faith/belief
	systems from a JC viewpoint...

	It's like trying to look at subatomic events with a classical
	mechanics viewpoint...you can do it, but nothing useful arises.

	How many of the JC'ers out there have read the Koran?  or the
	Tao Te Ching? or the teachings of Huang Po?

	Look, I read *your* book.
