[Buddha-l] Non-Arising

[JKirkpatrick]

Not to be too crude about such a vital point, but "yep." Seems to
me one way of looking at the entire history of Buddhism--and I
mean right back to the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta--is as a
history of fighting back against the transcendent. It's like the
return of the repressed, but in this case the return of the
fantasized eternal.

Yours in the struggle, comrades!

(who knows that sutta was unlikely to actually have been taught
first and as we read it now; it's a metonymy, okay?)
