indeed joe..indeed..merle Merle,
It's all because of the Three Poisons, rising endlessly: Ignorance, Hatred, and Greed (some add a Fourth: Attachment) Even once- or multiply-awakened people are beset by these, and must unremittingly continue to practice. But we are reminded that there are no "Enlightened PEOPLE": there are only "Enlightened ACTS". Hence, yes, we practice, and we continue to practice. --Joe PS Let's hang out a shingle: "Ignorance, Hatred, and Greed -- Attorneys at Law". ;-> PPS So don't ask your Teacher if she is enlightened: look at her behavior. > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > why is the question!... merle > > No, not demons. Just human beings. People. Man's inhumanity.
