Hello Everyone! I hope you can see this. The graphics aren't too great, but I thought it kind of fit in with the questions and reading for today!
I missed class last week due to a conference and I find myself in the hospital this week. If I have luck, it's in a drawer somewhere.
I have completed the Quizlet up to this class, so I hope you all find it useful!
See you all on Thursday(Hopefully),
Patricia
The example I would use of a realization of this quote would be a Tibetan Buddhist who immolates himself in protest of Chinese occupation of Tibet. Who, in his self immolation, does not so much as quiver a muscle, remaining totally at peace while literally burning alive. He is spirit incarnate.
ReplyDeleteA western example of the realization of this might be a truck driver, who crippled by chronic pain is able to perform his job, provide for his family and live with some happiness, despite the immense sufferings of his physical condition.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! I am so sorry you're in the hospital! Prayers and good vibes are going out for your return to physical wellness. Seems like your spirit is fine!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patricia. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I hope that you get better soon and that you will be with us tomorrow. Secondly, your quote here seems to have quite a bit to offer. While I will not claim here that it is easy to separate the pains of the body from negative receptions on the part of the soul, such a state would give way to a great deal of serenity. I believe this quote could be likened to the double arrow analogy in our readings. At any rate, maybe one day I will have the full capability of avoiding that second arrow.
