Donald: My poem is insight and nothing else. Throw away all your notions and you will understand the heart of the poem. And if you don't like it just ignore it. However, by the way you answer it seems as you discriminate between the self and the no-self. However, The Diamond Sutra and the Prajnaparamitra sutras are sutras for life. The most one meditates on them the richest became the insights they to one.
SAMSARA: Every time that we are truly mindful, we are not any longer into samsara. Every time we loose our mindfulness we get into samsara.

Remember, as the Diamond Sutra indicates, that there are no things. There is no Interbeing, there is no mindfulness, there is no enlightenment or Buddha nature. These are merely concepts that serve a purpose, like the finger pointing to the moon, these words are instruments that help us to see into true reality. This is the message of the Diamond sutra as well. So if Bill takes a more self focused view of reality, is that necessarily any different from your focus on interbeing? > > Happiness to You Mayka, > Allen > > Mayka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > More English errors corrected: > > -- In [email protected], "Mayka" <flordeloto@> wrote: > > > > > > Bill; > > > > I Thank you for your feedback, but in this case I do not accept > your > > correction as it does not correspond to the insight of > > the Diamond Sutra.
