" Joshu, replied, " Mu " Why? Buddha nature is a concept, and no decent dog has concepts,nor would consider such concept worthy of pissing on it. In American politics, there is a slogan that seems to be valid for every campaign: " It's the economy, stupid. " Well, when it comes to Nirvana my always valid slogan is: It's the re-wiring of the brain, stupid. Chemicals can create a temporary flare up of insight, but only rewiring the brain makes the daily dwelling in nirvana possible. It's widely known that only repetition rewires the brain. So, doing not a thing leads not to Nirvana. Inquiring, thinking, meditating, and most of all obsessing about Nirvana reshapes the brain. Nirvana is a software one can download by persistence sadhana. Obsessing is the way! Sorry, lazy lassies and Patties, only working your asses off will make you shit bliss everyday. http://cerosoul.wordpress.com http://awakefiction.wordpress.com Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
