Thank you! I have a large library of books about martial arts and I don't have room for much more.

Hoarding and Zen isn't what I asked for. If you can't do what I want, I won't be buying your Tupperware. It's overpriced, and the parties aren't that much fun.

sunshine said: I have copies of the Diamond Sutra and the Heart Sutra with translation and commentary by Red Pine. I also have a book with snippets of many sutras. I like Red Pine because he speaks fluent Chinese and also gets help with Sanskrit and Tibetan versions and commentaries before he finalizes. I have been reading the Diamond Sutra lately, quite a bit. I have some of the Dalai Lama's books and he told me I should read all the sutras! I have heard of the Tipitaka or Tripitaka. One day, may I collect all the sutras i will become wise beyond all measure.
I'd kick some Sanskrit in your eyes and make you look bad in front of Red Pine just to see how you'd react.

The Blind Ass said: ...Once we, as a separate self, see that we are resisting our experience,
we will undoubtedly try
and not resist, which is just another, more subtle form of resistance, ....
.... as we are no longer resisting our resistance, and have thus snapped out of our infinite regression. The resistance then reveals itself to be the very vehicle through which we have deepened our realization, as we have embraced even the part of ourselves that is non-embracing.
this is how i understand your post:
"... we will undoubtedly try ... " yes the key word here is try
letting go may happen in stages that is also a key if one needs to cry but has repressed it then crying is letting go
but then, when we pay close attention to crying itself it too is seen to be alternating contraction and expansion
something releases then something resists and constricts
hence the breathing pattern that goes with it
if we judge our crying that is perhaps like the double bind you speak of
learning to let go is a process like learning to walk falling down and getting back up are both part of the process

OK but unless you have immorality, your mastery is doomed!

Should read SoulSword by Roshi Vernon Kitabu Turner. He is a literal Master and Holy Man of God.
Just set the example and allow them to see the power of a righteous man or woman.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle "I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagle's wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm HAMMERED DRUNK!" - Cal Naughton Jr. AKA The Magic Man. Abracadabra homes! "Each tear is a drop of poison released." - Anonymous "Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say if they knew you believe in God above? They should realize before they criticize that God is the only way to Love."
