Enlightenment
If you want to know the truth shut-up.
Re: Enlightenment
I hear what you're getting at... especially in a buddhist meditation kind of way. In general, there is often too much talk and not enough thought.Malik wrote:If you want to know the truth shut-up.
But this is a forum with an apparent focus on thinking and sharing thought, so you're advice might fall on deaf...er.. keyboards.
I've tried shutting up in the past, but I couldn't shake the idea that, under those strict circumstances, I may as well be dead..... and reckon we'll have lots of time for silence when we're dead.

Malik,
At least Dave has a point; though it is insignificant in size, it is no less a point. You, on the other hand, have no point at all.DHodges wrote:

Yes, but you have to be enlightened to make only one hand clap. That's the ultimate test of your enlightenment. That, or plucking a pebble from a fast moving Lama's arse.Dan,.. if your enlightened and you know it, does a hand clap in the woods?

Only Breath - By Jalaludin Rumi
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu
Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion
or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up
from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,
am not an entity in this world or the next,
did not descend from Adam or Eve or any
origin story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.
I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

If you're rid of all delusions, stamp your feet!
If you're rid of all delusions, stamp your feet!
If you're rid of all delusions,
then you know life is an illusion,
so you can't stamp your non-inherent feet!

Re: Enlightenment
ehe, ehehe.
I have to clap that Dan..oh wait, I only have one hand,
Does that count?
Can I clap my one hand against itself? It's not like I am making it up or anything, I have two hands and all, in theory, you just have make a leap of faith and realize that I do, you know like you have two hands, right..?
