Resting, watching, just being. What a wonder...Sir,<br /><br />Resting, watching, just being. What a wonderful way. So, where does compassion enter in? Is there a "next step"? <br /><br />Thanks, PaulPaul F.

For the life of me, I do not see any difference from this Nagarjuna poem and the non-duality teachings of Advaita. Nothing arises, nothing passes away. Tony Parsons, the "most" non-dual of them all, calls it all a "Story" in which we think we are individuals. As someone who recently started studying Mahamudra meditation and meditating accordingly, I find the two approaches, Mahamudra and Advaita, nearly identical, with the BIG two exceptions of Tibetan Buddhism's dependent origination and its Bodhicitta teachings. (Of course, non-duality teachers might just say it's all part of the "story" of the All.) Then again, wisdom rarely arises in this mind so what do I know? lol. <br /><br />Thank you for your insights. I have really enjoyed reading your blog. Well, someone has. Getting less and less sure each day just who or what that might be doing the enjoying. :)<br /><br />Paul StevensonPaul F.
