Orb Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The essential fetter is: I put my hand on the stove and it burns. I keep putting my hand on the stove and burning, and I believe that when I become enlightened I can put my hand on the stove and it won't burn. Quote Mention "I shall give you what no eye has seen, and what no ear has heard, and what no hand has touched, and what has never entered into the human heart.

fopylo Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I think it's really the reoccurring pattern of believing in a future and self and that this moment/self will be different/ better at some time. Reaching enlightenment certainly does sound more appealing and real than simply being like "fuck all of this life" and not doing anything with your life Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
