No one has remotely insinuated that. I and many others, including the law in some states and in MANY MANY countries disagree with the practice of providing a "master's degree in " without the pre-requisite work, which usually involves a master's thesis and may be as robust as a dissertation. << I will be in Kenner, Louisiana on Nov. 30th, Dec. 1st & 2nd if you wish to show me the error of my ways. We can sit down and talk 'face to face' instead of through the DD.>> Now this IS really over the top. I have said what I have to say and it's not going to change whether I'm here, there or in another country. I have earned my master's degree and my wife has earned her PhD (she just finished her defense today - woohoo). THAT, sir, is why I strongly disagree with the practice. My master's is in Information Security and frankly the research was tougher than anything I had to accomplish in the martial arts - and there were some tough times there. Now I'm sorry you disagree but that is my stance. Since I am a professional and can't just walk away from work to meet you, please feel free to look me up if you make it to the WI area. I enjoy meeting people and sharing war stories. Trading notes can definitely be enlightening, but I have no intention of showing you or anyone else the error of anything.

The next lecture meeting of the RASKB will be held as follows: Tuesday December 11th, 2007 7:30 p.m 2nd floor, Residents lounge, Somerset Palace, Seoul (Beside Anguk-dong Rotary) Speaker: Dr. Richard D. McBride, II The World of Buddhist Devotional Practice in Silla Korea >From the time that Buddhism entered the Silla kingdom (ca. 300–935) during the fifth century C.E., it profoundly transformed the emerging and evolving customs of this ancient Korean kingdom, enabling it to imbibe and absorb the technology and culture of India and China and yet also preserve many of its own aristocratic traditions. Because Silla Buddhists increasingly imagined their country as a primeval preserve of the Buddhadharma, a Buddha-land, the flourishing of Buddhist culture and its myriad cultic practices was seen less as in importation of a foreign religion than a rediscovery and rededication to a long forgotten but glorious past. In this lecture, I will describe several of the interesting dimensions of Buddhist devotion that developed during the Silla period—merit-making and divination practices, repentance rituals, dharani procedures, religious communities, and cults of buddhas, bodhisattvas, and gods—by drawing from inscriptions on Buddhist images and reliquaries, instructions in sūtra and commentarial literature, and descriptions in the Buddhist hagiography and traditional narratives preserved in the Samguk yusa (Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms) and other later sources. Dr. Richard D. McBride, II earned a Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA. He has taught at the University of Iowa, Pomona College, and Washington University in St. Louis. He is currently a Fulbright Senior Researcher studying the development of kingship in Silla Korea. He is the author of Domesticating the Dharma: Buddhist Cults and the Hwaŏm Synthesis in Silla Korea (University of Hawai‘i Press) and several articles on medieval Chinese and Korean Buddhism, the Samguk yusa, the Hwarang segi manuscripts. His second book, entitled Aspiring to Enlightenment: Pure Land Buddhism in Silla Korea, is being prepared for publication. After the lecture, pasta and beer etc may be shared in a nearby restaurant. The lectures are open to the public, non-members of the RASKB are invited to make a contribution of Won 5000.
