apropos buddhist quote of the day

Mar 15, 2009 14:14

"I teach that the multitudinousness of objects have no reality in themselves but are only seen of the mind and, therefore, are of the nature of maya and a dream. ...It is true that in one sense they are seen and discriminated by the senses as individualized objects; but in another sense, because of the absence of any characteristic marks of self-nature, they are not seen but are only imagined. In one sense they are graspable, but in another sense, they are not graspable. -Buddha"

Hmmm... all the crap in my room sure feels graspable. But then I guess its non-graspableness is what made me say earlier that I don't feel I really "own" any of it...

/deep thoughts; back to getting rid of stuff
