Haha Dirk, you should get a laugh out of this photo (not mine, I found it on a Lolcats site). My 1st picture really was taken by me though, outside the Chinese temple right before my 7pm meditation class.
I've only just finished chapter 11 on emptiness, thus it's way too early to say anything of value. Of course a compilation of talks always lacks a bit of the flow and consistency you'd expect from a textbook.
I became interested in the topic of time lately as I seemed to get a firmer grip on shunyata, realizing that painful judgments and desires not only depend on ideas of good vs. bad, self vs. rest of world but particularly on time: present vs. past and future. Time is the stage for our drama of hopes and regrets, of perceived age, decay and death. Without ideas of time everything is just brand new – always.
And so on, blah... nothing new. Really, I think Katagiri's book is very helpful to me. But I haven't touched the part on Karma yet
