Without finding cause and effect for something and always guessing is like the blind feeling an elephant, and will not solve the problem. The Buddha once told the story of the blind men and the elephant. When you don’t know past trends, predicting the future is a wide-open game. The study of Buddhism over the past century or so has resembled the encounter of the blind men and the elephant in many ways. Because we all are a little part of the whole construction, the work we each person does sometimes like taking a part for the whole as well. Perhaps we only can say part of feelings. We are still, to a large extent, flying blind in conceptual terms. It's like examining, a lot of blind people looking at an elephant. When conducting investigation, to only investigate one aspect is like the blind feeling an elephant; one will never be able to grasp the whole picture. |
