Dear all guests !
« on: March 26, 2010, 02:17:00 pm »
Hello friends.

I see many people have been viewing this forum, if you would like to come in i would implore you to do so we dont bite  :cheesy:

The more the merrier !  :pray:

A man sees the rope in the twilight he mistakenly apprehends a snake and develops fear. To remove this fear he must remove the mind apprehending a snake by realizing that there is no snake. Even then, if the rope is left in the same place there is a danger that the same mistake will be made in the future. The only way to remove this danger is to remove the rope. Similarly, sentient beings observing their aggregates in the darkness of their ignorance mistakenly apprehend an inherently existent I. This mind grasping at an inherently existent I is the root of samsara and the source of all fear. To remove the fears of samsara we must remove this mind by realizing that there is no inherently existent I.

Geshe-la.

Hi, Caz.  Perhaps "implore" comes across as a bit "cheeky".  Maybe "invite" would be more polite and seem less needy.   :namaste:
