The Buddha was talking with Uttara, a young pupil of the bhramin Parasariya:
-Uttara, does Parasariya teach you how to develop your faculties?
-Yes, Master Gotama, he does teach us how to develop our faculties
-How does he do... continue...

→→→→		TOPIC: LOGIC IS NOT LOGICAL
		Posted on Nov.15.2012 @ 07:37PM EDT by jaigon There are infinite possibilities of the cosmos. Therefore, the chance of our current existence is mathematically 1/(infinity). 1/(infinity) is zero, so there is no possibility of this existance. Logic is not logical because if everything was logical existence would not be possible and I would not be writing this.

I find the language of mathematics to be much better than verbal communication. Mathematics is the language of truth. Because truth is the function of logic's and logic is the subject of mathematics (yes it is all circular. But this is just a circle I like). Now 1/inf is not 0. 1 over infinity doesn't have a meaning ;) So as our existence.

Reply from leoj99 Nov.16.2012 01:31AM EDT		Logic is Logical. Zen is not logical. Zen is 1/infininity... = 0.. When your mind is 0 you realize Zen...
