rstout@mindspring.com (Robert Stout):
| It is said that the Buddha stated that he received absolutely 
| nothing from complete total enlightenment 

pun. 'no-thing'; relation to emptiness and suchness. not an object

| and that is why it is called complete total enlightenment.

yes, holistic

| If he received nothing, then what did he transmit?

nothing. it was fun

| [Agree or disagree]

ignorance is the key to nirvana; attachment to anything
 implies ignorance, willfully or absently engaged
