      XPost: alt.philosophy.taoism, alt.buddha.short.fat.guy, alt.philosophy.zen       From: wudao@wuji.net              Tang had provided many gems of Jen, such as:              >> When you recognize yourself as pure awareness and leave off       >> the body-mind-consciousness identification and stop thinking       >> yourself to be an individual, all will become clear.              And then, you run around telling so-called others,       that they really are just pure awareness, just as you are,       as an individual, who stopped thinking about yourself as one.              And you know.       And you know, or find out, why.       Those that know, don't say.              There's no one else to say anything to.              And those that say, are not in that state of knowing       of how it was when you stopped thinking of yourself       as an individual and how there are no others.              And then you stop.       And you wonder.              And a song emerges       from the future of all things       in potential, of all the possibilities.              And you know.       You know again and again.       Why. Those who say, don't know.              But it doesn't matter. And so it goes.       And so you go. And you go on, and on.       And so you say. You say what you know.              Even though you know.       And you know better.       You go anyhow.              You go every way.       Every which way.              Some are Tao.       Some arghs knot.              - aye              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
