Content / Description

“There is a lot that we have to do and there is little we need to understand with our brains”. Talking? Interacting as little as possible. Arammanas. What keeps the kilesas alive? Little naughty child simile. Tricking the kilesas (in an artful manner). The persuaders’ kilesas. “Satisfaction Guaranteed”. Whatever arises... arises just within our own heart. Loneliness. Arahants’ “foolishness”? The “Forest University” Sweeping the cave (a Chinese Zen story). Simplicity will teach us the Truth. Touching the Fire of the Truth. Kilesas: sugar coated poison.
