Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

Think not of the faults of others, of what they have done or not done. Think rather of your own sins, of the things you have done or not done.

~ Buddha



It's like you took a bottle of ink and you threw it at a wall. Smash! And all that ink spread. And in the middle, it's dense, isn't it? And as it gets out on the edge, the little droplets get finer and finer and make more complicated patterns, see? So in the same way, there was a big bang at the beginning of things and it spread. And you and I, sitting here in this room, as complicated human beings, are way, way out on the fringe of that bang. We are the complicated little patterns on the end of it. Very interesting. But so we define ourselves as being only that. If you think that you are only inside your skin, you define yourself as one very complicated little curlique, way out on the edge of that explosion. Way out in space, and way out in time. Billions of years ago, you were a big bang, but now you're a complicated human being. And then we cut ourselves off, and don't feel that we're still the big bang. But you are. Depends how you define yourself. You are actually--if this is the way things started, if there was a big bang in the beginning-- you're not something that's a result of the big bang. You're not something that is a sort of puppet on the end of the process. You are still the process. You are the big bang, the original force of the universe, coming on as whoever you are. When I meet you, I see not just what you define yourself as--Mr so-and- so, Ms so-and-so, Mrs so-and-so--I see every one of you as the primordial energy of the universe coming on at me in this particular way. I know I'm that, too. But we've learned to define ourselves as separate from it.

and all I can think is, who wears shirts like that? They so very closely resemble . . . floor rags.

The attire of the "properly dressed" douche canoe.

I remember when slick Willy was out and about and people would say he was the kind of guy that you would want to have a beer with. I can remember thinking he was the kind of guy I would like to see fail to use a handrail while running with wet shoes up and down a flight of concrete steps. Never got it. I guess you have to lick a lot of Choad to get there.
 
Anyone taking a novice shooting who lets the novice hurt themselves thinking it's "funny" needs a terrible swift kick in the pants.

Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.

~ Meister Eckhart



In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.

~ Shunryu Suzuki



If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it.

~ Walter Isaacson
 
What is most essential to Buddhism is based on clarifying the mind. If you want your mind to be clear, it is important to put opinions to rest. If opinions are not stopped, then wrong and right are confused; if the mind is not clear, reality and illusion are mixed up. If you stop opinions and clear the mind, then reality and illusion are both empty, wrong and right do not stand.

~ Hsueh-yen
