Delusional Thinking

Posted on June 25, 2014 by Tashi Nyima

ippen2Samsara is delusional thinking.

Delusory attachments and blind passions have no reality.

To seek, in spite of this, to free yourself from birth-and-death

through discriminative reflections on good and evil,

taking this mind of delusory attachments and invertedness as your basis,

is utterly absurd. It is thinking that obstructs emancipation.

—Ippen Shonin
