Tangled Up In Blue


http://knittinandkittens.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/tangled-skein.jpg"This Dependent Origination is profound", quotes Sayadaw from the Bhvacakra Sutra, and 'this generation...' through NOT understanding, and NOT penetrating, has become a tangled skein.

Also, he discusses purification by overcoming doubt, which (from the Visuddhimagga) is seeing mentality/materiality as being due to conditions in past, present and future, and then you can overcome doubt about the three dimensions of time.   I love that part, the notion that we have built up a very complex delusion about these dimensions, and not,

I suppose that there simply are 'no' dimensions or one dimension, just that we have our perspectives tightly held, tangled there.
