Intellectualizing Buddhism - "It's tempting to look for philosophical parallels then you read the Prajnaparamita Texts. I found many, including links to Plato, to Nietzsche, to Postmodernism, to Einstein's Theory of Relativity and even to chaos theory. It's dangerous to intellectualize Buddhism in these ways. It focuses on the wrong aspects of Buddhism and leaves us open to all of the egoism displayed by the scholarly monk. Even when generated within a traditional Buddhist culture, intellectualization needs to follow, rather than precessed, realization. It is always counterproductive when the intellectual wagon precedes the spiritual horse."
