[quote user="Datafever"]Thank you, Mr. Sol.  That was quite enlightening. [/quote] Enlightenment -- "Ignorance means the absence of enlightenment, that is delusion.  ...[W]e speak of fifty-two stages, of which one [the first] is a stage where the mind attaches itself to any object it encounters. "When I look at a tree, I perceive one of the leaves is red, and my mind 'stops' with this leaf.   When this happens, I see just one leaf and fail to take cognizance of the innumerable other leaves of the tree.  If instead of this I look at the tree without any preconceived ideas, I shall see all the leaves.  One leaf effectively 'stops' my mind from seeing all the rest.  But when the mind moves on without 'stopping,' it takes up hundreds of thousands of leaves without fail."[Suzuki, Daisetz T., Zen and Japanese Culture, 1959, pp. 95-96] It was a good thread.
