[Buddha-l] Buddhas Meditation

[Dan Lusthaus]

Since zoning laws in Boston forbid me from keeping herds of goats at home, 
let's disperse some quickly:

I paraphrased Timothy thus:

>> Timothy said: Do with the redwoods as you please, just keep a 
>> non-attached
>> attitude while doing it.

The original quote, which I had reproduced several times in previous 
messages, so that everyone would have been familiar with it, read thus:

>>>>> Rather, it seemed clear enough to me that he was admonishing the
>>>>> assembly
>>>>> to act as they saw fit
>>>>> concerning the redwoods, but to act with non-attachment, thus
>>>>> lessening
>>>>> their suffering ...

Timothy's disavowed goat then hollered:

> You're completely full of it, Dan.  I said no such thing, nor did I imply 
> it.

I'll let others decide for themselves if the paraphrase was fair or not. I 
contend it is. I recommend Timothy listen to himself once in awhile before 
shouting at others about non-attachment.
