"For
those of us involved in practice while we are living in
the world of words, it is very important to have a clear
insight into that world that is prior to words. But people who remain fixated in the world of words, believing the world of words is basically the only world, typically are those who have great fears relative to death. We commonly find many people who are fixated in the world of words, believing that the world of words and all that is associated with it is the only world. On that basis they want to achieve the most luxurious and comfortable lifestyle and are not concerned very much with other people. Such people inevitably are doomed to suffer. If we take the trouble to become sensitive to our situation, we come to see that although the world of words appears fairly substantial, it is actually a very conditional world subject to dissolution at any time. When we clarify the whole matter of dissolution and what is prior to the world of words, we can live here in tranquility." |
