Treatise on Wisdom - 8
The great premium that comes with practice is Wisdom. Thanks to her, things are seen from the right point of view. And most of the time, seeing things from the right place is enough for everything to make sense. And everything makes sense when the conditions for which it has come to be seen are seen. Like when the conjurer is seen in full swing, but from behind. The tricks appear obvious and even crude as you watch people marvel at the function. And you don't know if it's really worth explaining anything to them, because from where they are they can't see it. If they're comfortable watching the show, nothing will stir them up. Therefore, my preference for those who do not like the seat in which life has put them to contemplate the function.
Obstacles to Stillness
In the fourth century, the Christian monk Evagrius of Pontus identified a group of "obstructive thoughts" that hindered individuals from stilling their minds in communion with God. Ranging from sadness and anger to gluttony and lust, Evagrius' list would later form the basis for the Church's "seven deadly sins." Notably, early Buddhist scriptures described a similar set of mental "hindrances" to liberating insight, which included problems such as sloth and sensory desire. Christian and Buddhist traditions thus pinpointed similar obstacles for the practitioner who is pursuing contemplative practice. In Obstacles to Stillness, Shodhin Geiman provides a comparison of these Christian and Buddhist approaches to identifying, and overcoming, hindrances to religious contemplation. Offering a fresh approach to Buddhist-Christian dialogue, this book allows readers to find common ground by pointing to the shared difficulties they face on their respective spiritual paths.
