Life is profound and mysterious but at the same time boring.
When I met a priest in Spain, I talked about the movie, The Matrix. I told him that I was traveling to tell people the fact that they lived like people in The Matrix.
People consider weird those who speak or behave differently from the vast majority of people including themselves. Moreover, they even express hostility to someone who talk about the truth of their life and how to live better.
The difference between living in the matrix knowing its existence and living in it without knowing its existence equals to the difference living knowing the truth of the self and living without knowing it. The majority of people want to live without knowing truth. It is because truth is always bitter, hard, and painful.
If Tathagata read this and knew you were using His words to promote your own nonsense words I doubt He would be happy. You set up a website in the name of Tathagata's teachings yet on every page you want to direct people to your own words, there is no reason for this other than you are doing what other members did, use Tathagata to elevate yourself.
ReplyDeleteTathagata wanted those who learned from him to go out and convery what they heard from him. Probably those people will make mistakes when they try to deliver what they learned from Tathagata to other people. I am just one of them. Of course I may make mistakes. There is a good teaching from him on this matter. Tathagata said, "When you should talk about something that you don't know, say to people that you don't know. When you should talk semething that you heard but you don't know, say to people that you heard like this or like that. And when you talk about something that you enlightened yourself about, say it to people."
ReplyDeleteI am trying to do my best to practice what I learned from him. That's all.
