Nothing is special.
We can hold no values.
There can be no polarity, not good nor bad, correct or incorrect, proper or improper. When we see something as special or sacred, it means we see other things as lesser and we become entrenched in attachment and repulsion.
There can no peace, if we are constantly trying to determine what is right and wrong.
If we believe something deserves respect more than another then we separate ourselves from total and unconditional love.
Equal acceptance of all forms, pays homage to the common bond that is the basic life force that makes up this entire universe.
Is a holy statue to be revered? Tibetan Buddhism may say yes at one level,that great merit will be bestowed opon one who prostrates to a picture of a deity. Yet Christianity would have you damned for idolatry, Islam forbids even the portrail of the face of God or holy beings.
Which is correct?
The deeper message of the Buddhist is to use a symbol to represent certain qualities of mind, that if cultivated will aid seeing beyond form into the realm of infinitely expanding consciousness.
Form, forever in flux cannot be governedd by rules. Ideas born in the mind cannot relate to reality, which is never constant yet always perfect.
Judge not, but honor all with out differentiation and eternal joy will be yours.
No thing IS special, nothing is special, all is special!
Joy to all!
Let go of all teachings and let the day have divine you!
