#mastodharma If I wanted to illustrate chapter 16 (duration of the tathagata’s life) with a meme image, it would be two astronauts looking at the earth. The first would ask “enlightenment transcends time as we understand it?”
The second would be holding a symbol instead of a gun. The Dragon King’s daughter dancing in/on that glove feels right to me. “Always has been.”

The other big takeaway for me is the teaching that spiritual maturity follows the same principles as physical and social growth. To ride a bicycle, you must ride a bicycle on your own. To heal a wound fully, the bandage must come off when protection from infection is no longer needed. Do the work of changing who you are or you will never become.
