Overcoming delusional belief systems
« on: April 12, 2013, 07:02:09 PM »
Most contemplative traditions have a concept of overcoming delusional belief systems.  Perhaps we can spend some time exposing the delusional belief systems that we have discovered and overcome.

One of the delusional belief systems to overcome is a belief that meditation is just taking a nap once or twice a day.  Can we believe that just taking a nap once or twice a day leads to liberation and enlightenment?

Can we see the Western Buddha being represented as a slob in a lazy boy?
