Mike,
Possibly, if it could be apprehended. ~ED "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." ~Oscar Wilde "The truth, once spoken is no longer the truth." ~Eastern saying , --- In [email protected], mike brown <uerusuboyo@...> wrote: > ED, Isn't it better to live in Truth than dwell in the false? Mike Bill, Of what value, if any, is the realization of Buddha Mind to oneself or others? Does the realization of Buddha Mind ensure that an individual will behave in a wise, compassionate and ethical manner? Thanks, ~ED --- In [email protected], "Bill!" <BillSmart@...> wrote: > ED, I couldn't answer for all who have experienced satori. They would all have their own answers, and some perhaps no answer. Experiencing satori (realization of Buddha Mind) does not automatically give everyone the same values. That's the job of a religion. Religions built up around someone's satori experience (like Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and probably Islam)do tend to unify and then codify values. They would certainly have something to say about this - like 'forgive them - oh yeah, and cut off their penis while you're at it'. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "ED" <seacrofter001@...> wrote: > > Steve and Bill, what might a woman/man who had realized kensho-satori > have to say about punishment for rape? > --ED
