Words Are Just Words

learning languages is good to realize that words are just words

for instance, the word God is loaded with opposing meanings depending the user or non user, but is just 3 letters w/ no intrinsic meaning

if you are Buddhist you may be fond of the word bodhicitta, or the word Dharmakaya, which are just strange sounds to a Christian

is your mind Buddhist? is your mind Christian, or Jew, or Hindu, or Muslim? what is a mind? what is yours? what is you?

Christian and Buddhist minds do not fit with each other, but minds like space are infinitely welcoming and understanding with each other

all minds are like space, all minds are the one mind, regardless what it appears within and about them or what they believe of themselves

Christian, Buddhist, Muslim and so on are words that deal with more words

"I never taught and never actually came"

  – the Buddha, in the Do-de Kalpa Zangpo
