JMJM, It is you that keeps analysing, agreeing and disagreeing. But don't worry about that. Sakyamuni did the same thing.
I remind you that the Chinese word for 'heart' and 'mind' is the same character 'xin'.

All values in the universe exists only in one particular instance. As you know, all describable way are not the way. When we stop analyzing, agreeing and disagreeing, we then begin our journey. Otherwise we are just wandering in relativity.

To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, 26 February, 2011, 3:45 AM Hi Steve, Actually, thank YOU for asking this question. There is a saying in Buddhism, "The heart of Buddha is the heart of all sentient beings." It is not a metaphor. It is psychologically, physiologically, emotionally and totally so. When we meet the enlightened teacher, learn and practice the enlightened way, get ourselves into the domain of pure Buddha Heart, we all can witness. It is not hard, just have to DO it. Thank you, Steve for this opportunity to share. :-) Be Enlightened In This Life - We ALL Can http://chanjmjm.blogspot.com http://www.heartchan.org On 2/25/2011 11:09 AM, SteveW wrote: --- In [email protected], Jue Miao Jing Ming - 覺妙精明 <chan.jmjm@...> wrote: > > Since this question was not directly answered, let me give it a try. > > About five or six years ago, I was in a restaurant order live fish. > (Chinese are barbaric.
