Merle,
Just speaking of what I know best, in the moment.
Not trying to second-guess what may interest you.
I can talk about the heart, too, in the right context. ;-)
BTW, the jewel-like or pearl-like relics of the cremated saints are called
"Sarira", a word from the Sanskrit (Tibetans have a different word).
Not feeling too serious, here; just choosing bits of the whole and appreciating
them. Not analyzing: maybe casting a view over the whole, a bit at a time,
sometimes. It's hard to speak at length about Emptiness, although it's worth a
try, provided one knows what one is talking about.
Oops ...too serious, again? ;-)
You thought I was just a pretty face with no head on my shoulders?, and no
ability to wander in the weeds and bring out treasure? Shame!
--Joe
PS And, really, let's let Iain tell us which diamond he has in mind ...or,
wherever it is. ;->
PPS Tell me now, honestly, that you knew why diamonds are called "Ice", and
the reason for it, and that you don't appreciate now knowing. Go ahead, tell
me.
