SA: Chris, here's a Zen understanding that has to do
with this as follows:
"A mountain as a mountain and a river as a
river...
It was not a mountain... it was not a river.
...A mountain is just a mountain and a river is
just a river."
(Toward a Philosophy of Zen Buddhism by
Toshihiko Izutsu)
SA continues: Chris, when you discuss the moq aspect
of your understanding I understand what your effort
is. To hammer away with SOM I think muddies events.
Now, to tie what you said to this quote I gave. This
no-thinking and no-things you refer to seem to be the
second sentence in this sequence of events that a Zen
monk described in his experience of Zen. First
sentence, first stage, second sentence, second stage,
etc... Thus, eventually this Zen monk realized that a
mountain is just a mountain - but with a quality twist
- I would say the same kind of quality twist applied
to replacing cause with value in scientific
understandings. One can't rid static patterns. They
will change, but not disappear.
blue with white puffs,
SA
