the meaning of immortality, page-62

very bold exhortation of unsubstantiated superstitious there, Chrysalis

I remember when you claimed to be the same as Buddha

Buddha taught there is no driver of the car (chariot), let alone a chariot

the "car" is simply a gestalt perception of many parts

how many parts must fall off until the perception of "car" ceases to be?



Then the bhikkhuni Vajira, having understood, "This is Mara the Evil One," replied to him in verses:

Why now do you assume 'a being' ['driver']?
Mara [Satan], have you grasped a view?
This is a heap of sheer constructions:
Here no being ['driver'] is found.

Just as, with an assemblage of parts,
The word 'chariot' is used,
So, when the aggregates are present,
There's the convention 'a being' ['driver'].

It's only suffering [fearful possessive grasping] that comes to be,
Suffering that stands and falls away.
Nothing but suffering comes to be,
Nothing but suffering [fearful possessive grasping] ceases.


Then Mara the Evil One, realizing, "The bhikkhuni Vajira knows me," sad and disappointed, disappeared right there.



the above demonstrates clearly the difference between the timeless Buddha & fleeing HC share investor Chrysalis
