A comparison between natural & modern medicine.
You say, “Pain is the first teacher we deny.”
" There are different classes of pain. First, there is simple pain.
Then there is the fear of pain. And finally there is what the Buddhists
address, the pain of transitoriness. Even when things are good,
there is always the pain of knowing that they won’t last. For simple
pain, the recourse is the anodyne. For the fear of pain, the medicine,
or poison, is avoidance. For the pain of transitoriness, the reaction
is grasping. The grasping part is that you create a world to hide in.
That’s why it’s so primary. The angels create the universe. It’s the
bad angel Lucifer who, when cornered, turns. And it is that turning
that creates the universe."
