"The way of the bodhisattva"

"The way of the bodhisattva" is an Indian Text Composed 12 centuries ago. It's a Text on the usual Buddhist Theme... The Alleviation of Suffering.

According to my readings to write a commentary on it, you either need and advanced spiritual realization or be directed in a dream. I have no idea what an advanced Spiritual Realization is. But It did occur to me in bed to Blog this baby out, as a better way to my understanding of it.....
But, maybe I just read the preceding and then made the rest up in my mind......

Let me just diverge here, I'm a huge fan of science, and I believe that the scientific method is the Single greatest Accomplishment of mankind. So, as I get into this spiritual stuff, and even when the Buddhists talk about Faith.... I don't buy it. I don't believe in Faith... I currently believe that Faith is a Dream like state of delusion, and that in my opinion to be "Awake" is to not suffer the Delusion of "Faith". Either something Is, or it Isn't.... Or we don't know...... we don't have "faith".

The single greatest thing about buddhism that I respect, is that one of the cannons is that you can't profit from it. My sense is that profiting from buddhism, creates a "Clouded intent", and then invalidates the teachings. It's also one of the reasons, you don't find many people "pushing" it.

Another interesting thought I always have is that.... To be honest, it's easy to be a monk in a monastery.... It's out in the World that it gets sticky....

It looks like besides this I don't have time to actually get into the readings.....

We will see what tomorrow holds...
