billlllll........ beauty and truth...truth and beauty... how zen is 
that?..merle


  
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!
