Thanks!Dontaskme wrote:Nice analogy!
The ocean being the Absolute ground of all being. That always is, was, and ever will be ..indivisibly one?
I think so. It’s what I’ve realized, but I fall short of the ideal dolphin, and yet the dualistic world is that which reminds me of water's density.
For the proof of your rhetorical question, one need only see the purity in the eyes of an infant or small child, before it is conceptually affected by the causes of folks.
Re: gyatso, i.e. ocean, i.e. compassion as the “ground of being”:
Relating this analogy to Christianity is important for a knowlegable Christian such as yourself in this particular instance, since attention to the situation contributes to the manifestation “of the ground” both in concept and being, as you identify it. For situational appropriateness it is important for all to have a chance to hear, and Christianity is a framework within which all can be said.
I think that beautiful as the bible is, saying all that can be said without scripture is important, in Christianity and Buddhism (dharma), because some of the all folks have a block against theism, although Buddhism is not theism, although Tibetan Buddhism incorporated the indigenous customs which included various types of energetic entities found in Shamanism and Bon Po.
Anyway, thank you very much for the dialogue.
I have to shut up for awhile.
Balance, you know.
