Tangram Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Finding a Piece of the Truth One day Mara, the Evil One, was travelling through the villages of India with his attendants. he saw a man doing walking meditation whose face was lit up on wonder. The man had just discovered something on the ground in front of him. Mara’s attendant asked what that was and Mara replied, "A piece of truth." "Doesn’t this bother you when someone finds a piece of truth, O Evil One?" his attendant asked. "No," Mara replied. "Right after this, they usually make a belief out of it."

p99shooter Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 One of the great parts of the film Dogma ... Rufus: . . ."Mankind got it all wrong by takin' a good idea and building a belief structure out of it." Bethany: So you're saying that having beliefs is a bad thing? Rufus: I just think it's better to have an idea. You can change an idea; changing a belief is trickier. People die for it, people kill for it.

Harry Potter Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Everyone of us on the own way of "shooter", but seldom we are thinking what do we want to achieve indeed by walking this way? And that's what sometimes preserving us from the real achievements. Only goal setting can keep us moving on and protect of getting to much involved into the Zen site of the game. That's what I believe in according to my own experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
