Although +they exist as conceptual imputations, you cling to them as existing from their +own side. Feelings do not exist by their own intrinsic nature; rather, they +are identified on the basis of contributing circumstances. + Therefore, this analysis is cultivated as an antidote for that [false +conception of intrinsic existence]. The meditative absorption that arises +from the field of discriminative investigation is the food of the +contemplative.—Shantideva + Feelings do not truly exist; they are not found when sought through +analysis; they do not exist independently, but exist by the power of +convention. Thus, the means for overcoming the misconception of the true +existence of feelings is meditation on their lack of such existence. This +entails analyzing the mode of existence of feelings. + Such investigation is an aid to meditative absorption and leads to the +integration of meditative quiescence and insight. That increases the physical +vitality of the contemplative and enhances the power of his [or her] spiritual +practice. Thus it is called the nourishment of the contemplative. + -- H.H. the Dalai Lama, "Transcendent Wisdom". +~ +It is not enough merely to look into the space of happiness or sadness; it is +important to have pure presence constant in that flow. If the power of +meditation is not constant, it is impossible to remain long in the place of +nondual perception. Thoughts that arise intermittently will break the +continuity, and radiating out from this, like ripples on a pond, the poisonous +taste of emotion will arise to obstruct the meditation. As gross thoughts +increase, ripples become rough waves that intensify the emotion. Until subtle +emotions are left behind, we cannot eradicate suffering, so it is crucially +important to sustain the state of meditation. When we gain strong familiarity +by staying in that space for a long time, then no matter what thoughts arise, +whether gross or subtle, they will not be able to dislodge us: upon +recognizing the first thought, whatever thought it may be, in that very +moment, we realize it to be the play of the spontaneous creativity of +dharmakaya. Like a wave falling back into the ocean, the thought vanishes +into the dharmakaya. In that space of naked empty pure presence that is the +view, always cherishing thoughts of the five poisonous emotions and all the +movements of body, speech, and mind, and the acts of eating, sleeping, moving, +and sitting, we are known as the yogins and yoginis who stand guard over the +shifting dharmakaya display. This is the supreme method of sustaining the +essence of meditation. According to Dzogchen teaching, this is unadulterated +by any kind of focus; it is called “the great meditation that is +nonmeditation.” + --Tulku Pema Rigtsal, "The Great Secret of Mind: Special Instructions on the + Nonduality of Dzogchen", translated by Keith Dowman. diff --git a/scripts/core/variables.sh b/scripts/core/variables.sh index de83d76d..c6242158 100644 --- a/scripts/core/variables.sh +++ b/scripts/core/variables.sh @@ -175,11 +175,9 @@ if [ -z "$NECHUNG" ]; then ############## - # set the path for locating applications. this is done after any + # add to the PATH variables used for locating applications. this step is taken after any # potential overrides from the user. - #export PATH="$(dos_to_unix_path $BINDIR):$(dos_to_unix_path $FEISTY_MEOW_GENERATED):$PATH:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/games:/usr/bin:." - export PATH="$FEISTY_MEOW_GENERATED:$PATH:/sbin:." -###noise! :/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/games:/usr/bin:. + export PATH="$FEISTY_MEOW_GENERATED:$PATH:/sbin:$(ls -d /usr/local/games/*):." ############## -- 2.34.1
