And I thought, this is so beautiful.

It's not like you...

other people you're so wrong and i hate you and you're you know it's like i there's vision there's beauty in this i don't know if you somebody would make the difference between the two i do to me like i i i want to to go about things like this with vision with clarity with love with uh creativity i want to you know i don't want to be eaten up inside by something i i want to yeah i

And so I think that not clinging to a view doesn't mean that we're not going to engage a lot of energy into something that we care about.

But it's a different way to go about it.

And again, the Buddha taught for 45 years.

It's not like he said, oh, I'm not going to cling to anything and just stay under a tree.

He engaged in conversation with people who didn't agree with him.

But he seemed to be saying all the time, I will never quarrel.

I will never hate somebody.

I will never cling to a view.

I will have exchanges.

I will spend a lot of time explaining my views.

So it's for everyone to see what's possible here.

Yeah, at the time of the Buddha, I wasn't there.

So as I heard or understand, or it's been described to me, is that people would have

rituals that they would perform thinking that the ritual themselves would liberate them so standing on one leg and never putting the second leg on the floor you know would be a good practice to liberate the mind you know or that you know it could be all kinds of things but really about uh

Ways to do things and not questioning what's happening in the mind, not questioning nature of reality, for example, but just behaving in a certain way.

Yeah, so this is where it seems to start from.

And then it goes even further.
