Friends of the K-harma Dharma,
Buddhists assert that there is a fundamental
flaw, imperfection, stress, dukkha
at the core of existence
In this cores cause and resolution
we find and enable a new
non-arising that has the 'Bliss'
element beloved of Vajrayana.
The position of accepting that
pain and suffering and stress and negativity
is fuel for this resonance and continuum
is a necessary part that some feel
unable to envisage
(in arrogance feeling they can 'convert'
these experiences)
So it is a requirement to accept the nonsense
of imperfection
the cause of this nonsense
and the means to overcome this nonsense.
:-)
Now I know full well that we
are saying the same thing
just emphasizing different aspects.
We are not independent of the
aspect and nature of the reflection.
To put it another way
Only glass is a mirror to the Real
Lobster
