That’s awesome – I’ll see you all there.
I have made some exciting discoveries in the Buddhist “Nakayas” (Nachash/serpent in Genesis)
Buddha:
II.1.14: Characteristic of Wisdom {Miln 39}
The king asked: “Venerable Nagasena, what is the distinguishing characteristic of wisdom?”
“…. illuminating is the distinguishing characteristic of wisdom.”
“How, venerable sir, is illuminating the distinguishing characteristic of wisdom?”
“Wisdom arising, your majesty, dispels the darkness of ignorance, produces the illumination of insight, brings forth the light of knowledge, and makes manifest the noble truths; and further, the spiritual practitioner sees with complete understanding impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and corelessness.”
“Give me an analogy.”
“Just as, your majesty, a person might bring a lamp into a dark house, and with the lamp lit dispel the darkness, produce illumination, show the light, and make manifest forms, so too, your majesty, wisdom arising dispels the darkness of ignorance, produces the illumination of insight, brings forth the light of knowledge, and makes manifest the noble truths; and further, the spiritual practitioner sees with complete understanding impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and corelessness.”
“You are clever, venerable Nagasena.”
