Since the habit is long-standing, we need a name for it as a means of communicating and sometimes therefore use the name 'crap.' Another perfectly good name is "enlightenment."genkakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135705172119950326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-42512805942259584322010-01-10T18:52:27.377-05:002010-01-10T18:52:27.377-05:00G, "What is crap?", "What is crap?&...G, "What is crap?", "What is crap?", "What is crap?".BuddhiHermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119595976272454045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-65770744626075101612010-01-10T11:51:26.507-05:002010-01-10T11:51:26.507-05:00That's the spirit, Dee!That's the spirit, Dee!genkakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135705172119950326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-2169133068305598802010-01-10T10:57:17.219-05:002010-01-10T10:57:17.219-05:00I'll sure try.

Why does the poet keep writing or the artist keep painting or dancer keep leaping or the songstress keep singing? It's really ALL crap, in this sense, but... we do what we do, because -- in this moment, it just seems 'right', we are compelled.

And more than that, uniquely important. Everyone would like to be as pristine as a concert-stage Steinway piano. But this is just crap heaped on the crap they imagine they could be free of.<br /><br />As the T-shirt observes, "I am unique. Just like everyone else." And likewise, "I am full of crap. Just like everyone else." The bottom line in Buddhism as I get it is, "Yes, you are full of crap. Now what?"<br /><br />Full of crap ... big deal. It's just a matter of what anyone might be willing to do about it or with it. Some grow daisies and some just stink up the living room.
