TOPIC: DHAMMAPADA, OUR EARNESTNES |
|
|
 |
Posted on Jan.19.2008 @ 06:26AM EDT by Vickie4591
After reading this chapter I am somewhat confused about it. The whole chapter sounds to me like a lesson in how to stroke ones ego. "stand upon a mountain top to look down on the people who are not earnest, and then #27 Follow not after vanity, (i can and do agree with that) nor after the enjoyment of love( I thought that is what we are suppose to do, love our neighbor?)and lust ( ok, I understand that)! He who is earnest and meditates obtains ample joy. How can you obtain joy with out love?
Please clarify for me, as I am an earnest beleiver, and student, and do not wish to develop a superiority complex over the everday person who does not follow the way to enlightenment.

The great way is not "after the enjoyment" of love. It's just love, plain and simple.
Love, bm :) |

Okey dokey, this mountain, when you get to the top, is it windy noise or becalmed silence? |

The mind likes boundaries but mountain top and valley are symbols - awake/asleep; conscious/unconscious....literalism is building a house in the valley. |

Whatever you want really - add a couple of pronouns, conjugate a verb or two and hey presto! - a sentence. |

Yeah, yeah. And you both feel this anger entangled with frustration and something.. vaguely disturbing about each other... As the tension brewed, both knew it was just a matter of time. Glistering eyes meeting, a heated discussion. Face closer to face. And then this silence, as eyes fall silent into eyes.When all of a sudden.. . We interrupt this posting for our American viewers with an advertisement of the werewolf saga currently screening at tread 12.
One man...(thum thum thum) Ready to face his destiny!... (thum thum thum thum) (thaaad daaa) He is, the werewolf man! (thum thum thum thum weerewoolf thum thum thum weerewoolf thum thum thum weerewoolf. ta da da ta weerewooolf. ta da da ta weerewoolf)
(Sorry, I was boored...)
