Taraka timiram dipo
Maya-avasyaya budbudam
Supinam vidyud abhram ca
Evam drastavyam samskrtam.
As stars, a fault of vision, as a lamp,
A mock show, dew drops, or a bubble,
A dream, a lightning flash, or cloud,
So should one view what is conditioned.
(from The Diamond Sutra)
. . .which reminds me of one of my most favorite, top ten, movies, Werner Herzog’s The White Diamond. “The White Diamond tells the life English engineer Graham Dorrington, who built a small helium powered zeppelin to fly over the jungle of British Guyana and fulfill his desire to soar through the air.”
It’s about the “situations humans get themselves into.”
