Hi Al, and all

Well... I'm sure this sutta will not be very popular.

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/canon/sutta/samyutta/sn42-002.html  It's 
called "To Talaputa the Actor".

What we might consider, instead of saying "Bah. hell realms." or "Bah. 
Sutta parroting"  or "Bah. [fill in your own Bah.] :) is the central idea 
that acting which inspires passion, inspires aversion, or inspires 
delusion... inspires those things.

I love movies.  Got a wide screen, Dolby Digital, and even a thing that 
rumbles the sofa. :) So.... something to contemplate.  Am I indulging in 
passion, aversion, and delusion? .....

Ian
