Care to untangle that? Matrix? Grid? What are you talking about?
Hi Marsha,
First your ps: I have misunderstood and I do not know the story about the
raft...tell me!
"Often-cited parable that occurs in the Discourse on the Parable of
the Water Snake (Alagaddupama Sutta) in the Majjhima Nikaya of the
Pali Canon. The parable relates to a traveller who fords a stream by
paddling across using a coracle or raft, and the Buddha asks whether
it would be appropriate or not for the man to carry the raft with him
once he had crossed. The parable is often thought to mean that the
body of Buddhist teachings and moral precepts have only provisional
utility as a means to gaining enlightenment (bodhi) and can
thereafter be discarded. A more careful reading of the passage shows,
however, that its meaning is not that the teachings themselves are to
abandoned en bloc but simply that certain teachings may on occasion
be misunderstood or abused."
Andre,
In my case I haven't reached the far shore, but cling like crazy to
the raft because it is so difficult to part with some patterns. I
might repeat an "insight" endlessly as not to allow a pattern to
return. Or maybe to try to go deeper. Whatever... Either way
clinging is exhausting.
Secondly,when I say; 'my experiencing the MoQ' I simply want to make clear
that it is only my experiencing (as different from 'interpretation'/
'reasoning') and do not want to impose this onto anyone else.
Perhaps it is my awkward way of trying to use MoQ language.
Oh... Yes, we all have our unique experience and
interpretations. After all we are all a different constellation of
static patterns of value. Your interpretation seems like a smile.
Marsha
