Merle,
You wrote, a little hastily, I'd say:
"just meditate and carry on safe and sound..ignoring the reality around you".
Please, Cousin, don't see division where there is NONE!
Did the Buddha just meditate? Do Zen masters just meditate?
No. They AWAKENED. While awake, they did no harm; they only do good.
They did not do good INTENTIONALLY: they did good because True Compassion
arises only when we are AWAKE: we have no choice in the matter. And cannot
then do harm.
To awaken, we practice. To stay awake, we practice. There is no "just" this,
"just" that. A practitioner puts it all together in himself/herself,
naturally. There are no two ways about it.
No division! Let's face it.
(my preaching-practice for the day; now concluded; on to other things!),
Howdy, Choir!
