Book Excerpt: What makes you not a Buddhist by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse

article image placeholderUploaded by @tamannasharma
The people of the world will continue to be caught up in compounding and fabricating reality with hopes of achieving longlasting happiness. Fabricating concepts such as eternal love, everlasting happiness and Salvation generates more evidence of impermanence. Our intention and results are at odds. We intend to establish ourselves and our world, but we forget that the corrosion begins as soon as creation begins. What we aim for is not decay, but what we do leads directly to decay

When Denial and Blind Faith hold the same truth.

Page 61 when presented with the concept of a man fitting inside of a yacht's Horn without change in size, we have a few choices. We can be rational and refute the story by saying that it is simply not possible. Or we can apply some kind of mystic belief in sorcery or blind devotion and say, oh, yes, Millerappa was such a great yoke. Of course he could do this and even more
