well, I have no personal problem relating to namarupa or permanence versus impermanence of objects since I take every 'thing' to be impermanent. however, as all things also conventionally sometimes these objects conventionally need to be treated. so instead of pointing going uh uh, i choose to go with the more elaborate scenario and attack or purify all fronts of something maligned. why? because I can. but more importantly, so i can use my remaining time on earth practicing with less resistance from within and without. at work i pace outside my place of employ chanting on my skull beads. in some cities jerks might shout out or get rough just for that but instead i work next to a hair salon where being different is the order of the day. so i fit in. in all ways things could be worse.
but then there's the interesting question you provoked regarding since if there's no permanent basis of anything at all then one cannot even specify a dharma to try to gain support for, but that smacks also of the nihilism extreme. but lets examine the question a second because it's very interesting. what's in a name? for instance, who is kirk bernhardt ne oct 1965? i will accept for argument the buddhist view that kirk is a set of aggregates, karmas basically. inside or outside my guess is that nobody has a fix on kirk even he himself, so then upon what fixed medium exactly could pundits be working. for there to be an outcome for something something of form needs to exist for it to change to become something else. well kirk does also exist in spacetime as an aging medium of exchange, so it's to the betterment of that exchange or medium that i would guess the pundits must be making approbation. intuitively it's easy for me to picture some meshing of mental continuums those of pundits and kirk and those he touches, all these continuums merging together. first time i had a yajna i had a picture of a pundits and his personality come to my mind clearly, so something is happening, as much as anything anywhere i guess. in my name. some holy people are praising the gods in my name. this kirk has become mentioned in the field beyond spacetime. that's something, though it's also nothing hard to sum up these things when they exist in the 'cloud of dharma.' that's all. ----- Original Message ----- From: Vaj To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 4:27 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mechanics of Yagyas On Jan 9, 2007, at 5:05 PM, Vaj wrote: predicted on the permanance of objects Oops, should have been "predicated".
