>>>I don't think the Buddhists believe in killing
>>>the ego, this is a communication error.

You are, of course, right. The above is just
my personal perspective on their position, not
the one they actually promulgate.

Their emphasis on "not identifying your ego with your
essential nature" can create a negative judgement
against the ego and make one feel that the ego
is superfluous nonsense which gets in the way
of enlightenment.

MY feeling is that the ego (and its associated
free will) are vital components of who you are.
They do not obscure your true nature; instead,
they are part of it. Your ego/free will needs
to be integrated just like everything else.

Cheers,
Steven
