Velcro Conclusions - 9-4-2019 - By Sokuzan - Sokukoji.org

Conclusions are ok, were doing it all the time, it’s the nature of thinking. But all the various levels of discontent, warfare and greed recondition us to grasp at something, lock down on something. What we’re talking about on the twelve links on the chain of dependent origination is the ninth link, upadana (grasping and fixation) and this leads to the tenth, bhava (becoming) and then birth. Please don’t come to conclusions. If you judge anything or anybody, I don’t care if it’s correct or incorrect, but if you go there, you’re creating a further duality called “me” and “them guys”.
