“How Buddhism Entered the World Like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow,
a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
This is how to contemplate all phenomena. – The Buddha, Diamond Sutra It’s hard to project ourselves back two and a half thousand years into another time, another age, another continent, another country, another economy, another political structure, another social system, and a whole other worldview, and try to intuit the innermost thoughts of a spiritual innovator like the Buddha. However, if we can understand a little better what he experienced and how his contemporaries understood his instructions, we can better know how his teachings relate to us. So before we get to some of the insights, let me share with you some of his story.”
