Great blog, it’s a pity it isn’t updated anymore.

If there are any Italians reading, I speak of the same subject on my site, http://www.buddhailluminato.com ! Take a look at it!

We are befuddled by our own natures. This world could be a true paradise, if not for the darkness we allow to fester in our hearts.

The goal of enlightenment is to transcend our physicality. If only we could do this as a species…

There is a quote by Corita Kent. Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

This is a new approach to expressing Dharma, and I like it. It makes it simple and meaningful. Apart from reading about buddhism I am also quite interested in psycho-therapy, and this sort of approach seems to be right on the interface between the two.

And I must say, I feel an urge to comment on Geoffrey´s points:
putting “evil” into a Dharmic equation is a recipe for mathematical pages of confusing symbols, and a confusing mind. Before getting into mathematical formulas of good and evil, its best to pay attention to the basics, are we happy, are we suffering?.

And about grasping the truth, we can always try.

And love,
Miguel

I like the equations, I have personally never seen the noble truths expressed that way.

It makes me think: If suffering=pain x resistance, what does evil x resistance equal?

Also, if frustration is pleasure x grasping, what does truth x grasping equal?

(And, while I’m at it, what is the sound of one hand clapping?)

Peace!

Comment on The high price of watching television by David Goodman

You are absolutely right about television. It’s a mental drain. I haven’t had a TV in ten years and I don’t miss it at all. People ask me how I have so much time to paint… I tell them I don’t have a television. It certainly frees you up to live life.
