At least this is one instance where the Hindus can't claim to

have " been there, done that " in terms of religious traditions.

 

Clearly Jim Baker and Tammy Faye with their mega-disaster Heritage

Bible Theme Park paved the way for spiritual theme parks everywhere.

 

Thank you, Jim and Tammy!>>

That's how I know you are enlightened too, fuzzie, and that's why I

want to hook up with you in Asheville some day. I am hell-bent on

becoming your dharma heir.

 

I kid you not!!

Hi-diddly-ho, Mr. E.:

 

Don't forget Ned Flanders. He made a Christian theme park in honor of

his deceased wife, Maude. Remember that one? There was a gas leak and

everybody thought they were having spiritual experiences when really

they were just being poisoned. That was a good one. I love that show,

the Simpsons. They make me laugh.

 

There is no such thing as a " dharma heir " , Mr. E. You're a big Hui

Neng fan, right? Remember when that one guy tracked Hui Neng down,

tackled him, held a knife to his throat and threatened to kill him if

he didn't give him the " dharma " ? Hui Neng said " If I gave it to you,

you'd have no place to put it " , or, something like that. The truth of

it hit the guy right in the third eye, so to speak. He backed off and

let Hui Neng go.

 

There is no dharma. You can't get it from anyone. There's nothing to

get. You are it. I know, that sounds like cliche' and trite and

hackneyed and Vedanta-speak and all that. But, it's the truth. You are

it; you are being-awareness; everything happens in that. You can't get

it and you can't lose it. Just realize that you are and that you are

aware that you are. Be in that. That's all. It's simple.

 

Yours,
