I don’t know how much this result influenced WL’s putting together his teaching on “being identical” of the LCs, but I can say that some portion was operative.

FYI, I’m a native born Korean who speak Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese with a lot of experience of living or traveling Asia, plus extensive study of ancient and middle-age Chinese philosopies.

I remember that Lee would sometimes say that other Christians had accused him of mixing Buddhist "flavor" in with his Christian teachings, or something like that. Of course, he strongly rejected that notion. Gubei, do you think there are elements of Chinese philosophy in Nee's or Lee's teachings?

One possible example that comes to my mind is when Nee said that a younger brother should always follow and respect an older brother -- even if the age difference was only a few months. As I remember it, he asserted this with no Biblical basis, but acted like it was so important.
