In reply to Pam’s post, let me quote the following:

“Unlike religions, the Dhamma the cosmic law is beyond words. The more you conceptualize, the more you are likely to miss the point”.

An enlightening piece of writing, no doubt. However, it is unlikely to appeal to a world engrossed in religions and holy men. Sadly to them, it will remain a voice in the wilderness.

What a question to ask? To the subscriber what matters is not the name of the scientist but the veracity of the so-called ‘tedious nonsense’ quoted.

Rowden, you are entitled to your opinion.

Sorry Pam, your playing with words obviously would take you nowhere. A scientist was once asked ‘what is an atom’ to which he promptly answered in the only way he could “atom is made of atoms”.

The more we talk about wisdom the more we reveal our ignorance for what we don’t know is the path to wisdom is also the path to ignorance. So, where do we go from here? Any suggestions?

Language as a medium of expression is totally ineffective in this world of concepts. It cannot convey one’s inner experience the Dhamma the source of ‘Chitta’ a process beyond space and time. In such a world, teachers, preachers, books, Buddhas, gods, Christ, etc. have no relevance. However, it is u...

A very interesting story indeed. However, ‘Truth and Lies’ being concepts, one must know where to draw the line. Otherwise, it could be catastrophic especially where religions are concerned. So let us keep it personal for ‘Truth’ cannot survive without ‘Lies’ and vice versa.

In contrast, the ‘Dhamma...
