Re: Daily Zen *OT*

In Response To: Daily Zen *OT* (.mirage)

: It is in the nature of all
: things that take form to
: dissolve again. Strive with
: your whole being to attain
: perfection.

You know... I had trouble with this one when I studied it in college, as well.

How is the first part related to the second part? If it is in our nature, is it perfection? (I don't think so. :) )

Is Buddha saying 'try not to dissolve'... or 'try not to take form'... or 'try to take the perfect form, but don't worry, you'll dissolve again anyway'...?

I think the moral here is that logic and zen don't mix too well. :)
