For as long as I can remember whenever I try and study Buddhism, I come upon some walls which hold me back from really learning about it.
I think I may get very defensive.
Blocks go up in my head.
But I think that the definition of words might just be different.... God I don't know.. so I'm going to force myself to research it paying special attention to my feelings.
For instance.. I couldn't even get through the first page of the introduction to this book without getting pissed. It's about compassion. It talks about how passion is lust and compassion is love. Passion makes you a slave.
So if you read my last post you know how important I think it is to have passion in your life. It is your FLAVOR. It is your own Excitement. So this downing passion really gets to me. Perhaps I don't understand the point.. I feel like I'm not getting it.
