The paper was really good. I thoought that it did answer the question in a way. It explain what they both were. I guess it is up to us to see how we view the paper.

It seems that there was a lot of explaining what soul was in three different aspects, and a little about what the Self was in those three, but I didn't see a whole lot of comparison. Regardless, I know more about what soul is considered to be by these three aspects.
Interesting description of the concept of soul. I particulary like the comparison with the word "Atman". It compelled me to consider our soul as the one piece that unites us with the rest of the univers; the only trait that is common to all things in our world.
I guess because this topic did not interest me as much as others it still helped in the explaination of soul more so than it compared the two. I was enlightening however, and I am smarter having read it.
I enjoyed the information that was provided in the paper, but it seemed a little too factual. Bringing in the viewpoints of different religions was a good idea.
I thought it was interesting how the different religions viewed soul and Self. This enabled me to see different views as opposed to the view of just one religion.
Type Your Comment Here I found the paper very interesting but some what difficult to comprehend and distuinguish the difference between the two.
My main problem with this paper was the fact that it was a tad jumpy and never seemed to fully answer the question. However, there were many powerful points made. One thing though: In the last statement, are you saying self is "the way"???
This paper helped me to see, a little more clearly, the differences between Eastern and Western thought.
I found the paper interesting, but I did not really think the question was answered. Although there was plenty of good information and points to think about.
The paper focused on explaining the soul more than it did on explaining the difference between soul and Self. The explanation of Buddhist philosophy is a good example of how hard it is to communicate ideas between cultures. In Hinduism, what happens to the soul once its physical vessel has expired?
Thanks for all the facts but what is your opinion on the subject?
that was mine above. oops i forgot to type in my name and e-mail address.
I enjoyed the paper. It helped me understand more about the Soul and the Self.

I thought that the paper was well written. It explained both self and soul thourghly. It gave a much better look at things.
I enjoyed your paper, it helped me understand the aspect of the soul a little bit better than before. I like how you tied in the Holy Ghost in Christianity to the soul in Buddhism.
I really enjoyed the paper. The paper was very educating, and finding out what the soul is to the different religions was very enlightening.
You are right, I don't see the answer to the topic question, but the paper has some insight. Are you saying that, with respect to Buddhism, soul and self are the same?
