Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 "Gloria Lee" <glee Forwarding this from . /.cgi/ Lama Surya Das says: "One need not travel to distant lands, seek exotic mystical experiences, master esoteric mantras and treatises, or cul- tivate extraordinary states of mind in order to experience a radical change of heart and inner transformation. Spiri- tually speaking, everything that one wants, and aspires to, and needs is ever-present, accessible here and now - for those with eyes to see. It's the old adage all over again: You don't need to see different things, but rather to see things differently. ( from "Awakening the Buddha Within" page 47 )." Striking and beautiful Gloria and thanks for sharing. We might indeed be destined to see many things and experience many events. At some point, we might be inclined to look at and examine the nature of seeing itself. There is a certain subtlety to that seeing which diffuses itself over a range of perception and sees nothing in particular and is content and at peace with the absence of content in its own nothingness. Remember once you posted T.S. Eliot's verse which spoke to this. Something like after much travel, we return home, and see it as if for the very first time.
