Indeed. I see it in all systems/religions. And my.DDJ ch. 1, warns about precisely this. Great post Mark, thanks.

The Chinese Origins of the Heart Sutra? Scholars now question that The Chinese Heart Sutra was all a translation of an Indian Sanskrit text. https://www.academia.edu/69865489/Preliminary_Notes_on_the_Extended_Heart_Sutra_in_Chinese . One examination of the ‘core section’, concluded it was composed in Chinese and ‘back-translated’ into Sanskrit. https://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?id=3290289&url=article#:~:text=Jan Nattier examined about half,method to the Heart Sutra. .

Reminds me of DDJ ch. 12.

Nice one, yes, "cacodemon" κακός (evil) + δαίμων (demon)

Deep respect to you for volunteering. However this can be very heavy. If it gets too much, do allow yourself to stop.

I never click on solitary links.

It’s not you, I am having the same problem.

Hi jeffrey. Welcome to the forum. No worries, nothing can obstruct the Dao. Keep on practicing, and once you are one with the Dao the answers will appear.

What a wonderful post. Yes. Me too.

In my PPD, in each thread, above the first post it says ‘Moderation Actions’. When I click on that, one of the options is ‘lock’. That closes the thread for replies by other people. (And then’ Moderation Actions’ has the ‘unlock’ option.) Unfortunately, in my PPD, I cannot hide/remove individual posts. I can only ‘hide’ the whole thread. Then start a new thread. I sometimes copy the posts I want to keep to a new thread and abandon the old thread.

@BigSkyDiamond On reflection, I should have qualified my answers. Always better to write ‘imo’ than ‘no, that’s wrong’. My apologies.
