I wish you the best of luck with your friend of 50 years. This is an important discussion b/c narcissism will always exist and how we deal with it, depends on what tools we use in our lives to stay connected to other people.

You lived with monks? Sorry to hear that. It really doesn't mean you get Buddhism.

I have my Master's in Buddhist Philosophy and Metaphysics and practiced for 25 years. That stuff you included reminds me of graduate school. Yuk. So many words. So wordy. That's a big problem with Buddhism. Very masculine and scholarly religion. Too wordy.
