Publisher's Synopsis
You there! Muck worm! Wake up!According to Buddha, the problem of life is suffering, the cause of suffering is ignorance, the solution is waking up, and the path is the Middle Way, and all of this takes place in the subjective theater of the wild mind. Things, phenomena, do not exist the way they appear to exist. Even other people, even we ourselves, do not exist the way we appear to exist. Everything that exists, exists like a dream.Wha?"To one who is awakened," the Tathagata said, "to the one who knows the nature of reality, everything is possible. But for the unawakened, only bits and pieces of the possible exist. For the unawakened, very little is possible." Here are eight potently philosophical stories that will play with your wild mind and its phantasms, and maybe disturb your sleep: Milking the ATM, Goat Face, Cold Hell, To Watch a Buddha Die, Anne, The Death of Darlene, Bodhicitta, and May the Sacred Heart of Jesus Feed Your Head.May all beings be happy!
