The Buddha

This reading was also interesting because its thoughts appeared to be proper. What I found to be incredibly insightful was the last thought because of how it explains that believing in oneself is very important and I agree since it is essential to be your own person in life. Another thought out this reading that was intriguing was the third thought about the unborn, uncreated, and unconditioned. If you are capable of seeing those things you are liberated from the born, created, and conditioned. This implies that a person would have to be a rather grandeur spiritual being to see them so I think this teaching is trying to express the absurdness of claiming to be able to. The other passage that I liked was the one where a man built a boat, used it properly, and then used it improperly. To me this teaching shows how to become understanding of certain situations and apply the proper tool. I agree with this view on reality because if anyone applies the appropriate tool to a situation whether it may be a hammer, scale, or therapy there should be a successful outcome.
