1. suffering stems from bodily passions and wordly desires
2. if we remove desire, we remove passion, which leads to the removal of suffereing
3. to do this, follow the Noble Path
4. attain Enlightenment
ahh was reading this in japan. lolz they have both a bible and a book of buddhist teachings in every hotel room. i know i'm treading on dangerous grounds here but i seriously don't mean to offend anyone. just doing this from a detached (as much as possible) pov.
ahaha and already, we've hit it: detachment. so coincidentalZ how this theme comes back again and again to haunt me~ but i stand firm in my disagreement on this. i don't know exactly what the apogee of being human is yet... but i know it is not the wise sage or hermit completely entrenched in sophia. there's still phronesis. and hm that tripod of humanity in dune: flesh, thought and emotions.
omg scary~ i just searched 'detachment' in my 2006 diary and it gives me a private entry from 31/12/2006. sobz haunting nostalgia. ok hm not nostalgia this is. struggleZ to escape destiny but no! shall quote:
"Detachment. How ironic that what I saw as some ridiculous pride-fueled idea (I still think it is) has come back to haunt me."
this is: lingering spectreZ. ya know~ once upon a december. love this song. tune, music and lyrics. magical.
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory...
ahhh time is running out. so many things to do, so many loved ones to spend time with. i just pray for nice section mates and a nice buddyZ.
