Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 The " pain " of a pin prick is real - the " suffering " of the pin prick a delusion, the pain roots in the senses, the suffering in the memory. You can let go of suffering even without reaching the self. The experience of pain is articulated by thought that is born from the senses that is held forth by consciousness, thereby by the all pervasive self - the suffering is articulated by the thought that is born from attachment, which is articulated by ignorance or maya. in deed it is all fine and well to speak of this in itstruth but how many people or animals are living in an experiential state ofknowing this truth? people and animals suffer and suffer and suffer and that is one sea of sorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
