Blasphemy for Beginners
lobster
Crusty Veteran
Freedom from our tendencies, indoctrination and deep set knots is ongoing.
The idea of 'already perfect', dzogchen and Mahamudra type Taoism is no excuse for us beginners.
Blasphemy against our deeply held sensibilities can be painful, like a gnostic becoming an atheist or an atheist finding Jesus.
For Buddhists too there is a deepening or wide ending of what is sacred (that should be 'widening' but sometimes the auto correction provides insight).
What are your sacred cows, your beef, your crippling obstacle?
Mine without a doubt is the the belief that sometimes blasphemy is a good and neccessary thing.
So many things to cling to and let go of.
