Chris, Joe, Edgar and Godel, If the term 'Truth' refers to Reality, it is experienced by Buddha Nature as-is without judgement. 'Beauty' is a judgement and of course relative. It is a human invention, albeit a very pleasant one, but is a dualistic concept and therefore illusory. So yes, we (our illusory self) can make an illusory judgement about Truth (Reality) as being beautiful. We (our illusory self) can form attachments to that concept. Buddha Nature however does not make judgments and has no attachments. Buddha Nature does not experience beauty/ugly or good/bsd or just/unjust or right/wrong. Buddha Nature experiences Reality just as it is: Just THIS! ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "Joe" <desert_woodworker@...> wrote: > > Chris, > > Took the words right out of my mouth. > > --Joe > > > ChrisAustinLane <chris@> wrote: > > > > Actually Godel established that truth is not a logical construct.
