One day Marsha says:Except for the wish to become enlightened, the Buddha has
said that desire is the source of all suffering. ...I suggest you check out the
second of the Four Noble Truths. You have claimed a familiarity with basic
Buddhist tenets. There is an abundance of material to support the fact that
longing/desiring/craving is the source of suffering. For me desire is all about
illusion,.. it is not realizing that the object of my desire is a projection, a
pattern, a conceptual construct that does not exist out there somewhere
separate. Desire creates separation, builds ego or I-ness; it is dualistic
through and through. - I paint when I prefer to paint above all other
activities.
dmb replied:
The MOQ can certainly be compared to Buddhism but that doesn't mean it must be
constrained by it or comply with every tenant. The MOQ is a fusion of East and
West, right? I think young Phaedrus left India because he was put off by the
morally vacuous attitude of otherworldly forms of mysticism.
And the next day Marsha says:
My statements that you quoted did not even contain the word Buddhism, and when
Phaedrus was in India he did not study Buddhism. And rest of your statements
make even less sense to me.
dmb says:
So you're saying that honesty and consistency plays no important role is what
you think or say? Is that your point? Do you suppose anyone here is so
forgetful that they don't remember what you said just yesterday? Again, you
really ought to see a doctor about your short-term memory problem.
