What I believe is that: society as a whole would be at a loss if everyone were a Zen Buddhist (stated in this way it seems obvious and dull).<br /><br />Again, I believe, some of us <i>should</i> be Tibetan Monks, and that all of us, have <i>a lot</i> to learn from them, but at the end: in this universe, equilibrium is useless.Rodolfo Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989851961295766496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642103.post-85943062052339388832009-07-06T14:52:35.557-04:002009-07-06T14:52:35.557-04:00I would argue that your reasoning for explaining t...I would argue that your reasoning for explaining the "not everyone being a monk" idea, is not entirely correct.<br /><br />Zen budhism, and many other oriental philosophies are not against or in favor of equilibrom or chaos. The right interpretation, I think, is that:<br />a) they propose an external reference frame from which balance and chaos are just states of the system (you are just watching).<br /><br />or<br /><br />b) you are the system, but not the states. i.e., balance or chaos are just temporary fluctuations of a larger theme.toditohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720842403685893542noreply@blogger.com
