Ron guided our reflections this Sunday, drawing on a talk by Andrew Olendski, who begins his talk with this question:
During the time of Buddha there were many experiencing enlightenment. Why not in our contemporary world? There are many, many dedicated practitioners and scholars yet we can point to no one that has reached nirvana.
The answer may be found in his definition that “What we take to be the world is a virtual construction of the human mind and body woven together of consciousness arising and falling away in an ongoing stream.”
A link to the talk is forthcoming.
