RE: [Zen] Nature of Illusion

Edgar, Bill!,<br/><br/>I don't have much invested in this topic, but just to 
clarify a few things I'd like your feedback.<br/>When we make our vows at every 
sit, one of those vows is "The dharmas are numberless, I vow to master them". 
Applying that to this topic, for me, means that a thought (a dharma) is real 
even if the object of that thought isn't. For example, if I said Edgar is a 20 
year old member of a famous boy band, then the thought is real (a dharma) *even 
though* it is a delusional thought. <br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/><br/>Sent from
