Two graduate level courses, 40+ hours of work a week, 2 nights of climbing a week, Art Club every Sunday, Working on freelance projects on the side...and some light entertaining every once in a while. I am in my own hell!
In the Wheel of Life mandala - the realm of hell is a self created cycle of pain and abuse... and the resolution is the Buddha holding a mirror to the the person to illustrate the cause...
But what if I already know the cause? What if I am so bored with life that filling my days with countless obligations is the only way I see through it? Does the knowledge - "buddhi" truly is a way out of the realm of hell? Or is it only the perception of suffering that changes? What if it has no affect on the life at all? Am I still in hell if I do not suffer? My hell is boredom - so are series of busy rituals the path to salvation?
I wonder.
