fail faith

Posted on April 13, 2008 @ 1:55 pm by massimo | Filed under: another green world, blog, news, people, wordpress

Buddhist teaching is clear and logical: that we can neither define, describe, nor usefully discuss the nature of that which is beyond the perception of our consciousness. According to the teaching the ideas of eternal self or eternity in nature may be described indirectly by analogy and symbols. Otherwise it must ever remain in its truest sense unknown and unexpressed, as being to us in our present state unknowable.The concept of maya play a major role in Buddhism. Maya is the belief that everything, which one sees in this world is illusion, a product of the individual’s own failed interpretation and self-delusion.Buddhism has always set itself against illusions: the illusion of permanence and the illusion that it is possible to live in the world and avoid the suffering. What if one follows this disillusionment to the end, allowing it to concern his beliefs on Buddhism itself?

I have always been interested in religions other than my own. This interpretaion of the theme and the accompanying text are SO interesting. It makes me think about our existence now and later, and your illustration evokes great emotion.

Elucubrazioni profonde per il tema Fail!!!
L’illustrazione è perfetta come sempre e il tuo stile inconfondibile…i due occhi sulla cupola vogliono forse dirci qualche cosa?
Ciao :o)

Yes, we always try to ascribe meaning to everything so that we can feel as though we have a signifigant life. That everything happens for a reason. I hear that catch-phrase all the time. My mantra is to be loving kind,thoughtful and generous when you can and try to have fun.I always smile too because people need to be smiled at, they like it! Beautiful illo in every way and always thought provoking posts!
