A Few Insights
    #5909546 - 07/28/06 05:01 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

We are the sense organs of the universe. We have six wonderful senses that enable us to perceive ourselves (reality). However, most of us aren't taught how to properly live in harmony. So we become attached to certain sensory experiences and averse to others. We fail to understand reality and the way it works. We grow ignorant. We become jealous of what we have and envious of what others have.

We use our mind sense and sometimes think that we have some permanent existence. That there is some permanent essence. This is a foundationless conception though.

Nothing is born, nothing dies, everything is just transforming. Even at this very moment, we have transformed into a different being than last moment.

Interesting viewpoints, thanks for sharing...I have a foolish question to ask, asides from such attachments of the senses, mis-understanding reality as you stated, what forms of blindness can one hope to avoid in light of how the world really works? What makes a person ignorant?

Your talking behavior concepts here, and possibly innate social philosophy, that the "we" seem to missing the fundemental revrence for life? Building illusions instead of what we should be thinking? I need some clarity here.

At the most fundamental level, failure to realize the true nature of reality: impermanence, selflessness, and nirvana.

I have a foolish question to ask

There's definitely no such thing as a foolish question.

Building illusions instead of what we should be thinking? I need some clarity here.

Indeed, that we chase after all sorts of things that we think will bring us happiness or peace, yet this very act of chasing after things is what brings us so much suffering.
