What is the nature of fun? Where is the source of "happiness" you experience? Is inner peace seperate from "you" that it can be enjoyed as an object? In what sense can non-grasping awareness be fun? It has been said, "When there is this, that comes to be; with the arising of this, that arises. When there is not this, that does not come to be; with the cessation of this, that ceases." Fun (and everything else arising as "other" in our awareness) is in the realm of dependent arising. Warmest regards, David -- _______________________________________________ NEW! Lycos Dating Search.
