Do you think that was what the Buddha meant? Maby, but I think it's unlikely. Maby not everything can be fit into an Eckhart Tolle mindframe (before you ask, no I haven't read "The Power of Now"...)

I NEVER said he was an anti rationalist. I never said he condemned knowledge. I'm not sure where you got that. I was saying suffering is caused, not by knowledge, but the loss of focus on the now.

I have read The Power of Now and, yes, you should read it. It's amazing.
