Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Dear Joyce -- Thank you! Yes - nothing moves. Don't know where you got this, reminds me of Nagarjuna. The mind can't comprehend *this*, and stops; the body: everywhere and nowhere. It's quite true, nothing moves. How could there be such a thing as "knowing", or any place for a "knower" ... Doesn't stop the attempts though ;-) But, even the attempts don't move ;-) can't even rightly call it "unknown" or "no-knowing" ... Enjoying your haiku, too ...

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Yes, good quote from a Buddhist list. People had been investigating Nagarjuna. I'll forward your response if I may (with appropriate copyright).....all things forwarded yet not going any where. Joyce Dear Joyce -- Thank you! Yes - nothing moves.
