Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Basically Nagarjuna (and Chandrakirti is a good one to read) is saying all suffering in the world and karma holding onto us is all an illusion that we let happen. It's a false view of ourselves that causes a 'desire' to return to earth. Karma has no existence of it's own because of dependant origination. We don't think we let it happen because we don't know we can have control of this 'fundamental ignorance'. We have a lot to work on here greed comes from a false view that something is ours to have. That we can have things. Nothing is ours and can't be taken with you. This attachment causes suffering. It all begins with atraction and repulsion. Taking a stance either way, when the issue really doesn't matter and either way doesn't change the eventual outcome. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
