There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

Re: Upcoming TV Show with Buddhist Main Character
Has that been an issue in shows/movies? I can see that being annoying and disruptive to the viewing experience. Almost as bad as a terrible actor destroying any chance of suspending disbelief. ie. Keanu Reeves in Dangerous Liaisons and Sophia Coppola in Godfather III.Malcolm wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:52 pmAll I can say is that they better get the damn robes right.Queequeg wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:30 pm Daniel Dae Kim to play a former monk turned LA police detective.

Re: Upcoming TV Show with Buddhist Main Character
The show's concept reminded me of a series of detective novels I enjoyed years ago. A bit of digging found them for me. (I 
love the internet!)

love the internet!)Visit http://www.trussel.com/hf/masuto.htm for links to his Zen book as well as the detective stories.Howard Fast wrote mysteries as E.V. Cunningham, including this series of seven starring Masao Masuto, a nisei detective with the Beverly Hills, California, Police Department... devotee of rose cultivation and Zen meditation.
Fast lived six years in California, practiced Zen meditation, and wrote a small book about it, The Art of Zen Meditation, published in 1977, the same year as The Case of the One-Penny Orange, below.

I really hope it's better than the "Buddhist" main character from Ironfist. That show gave me an aneurysm.

Keanu Reeves is a *unique* actor in that he is generally terrible except when he gets to play Ted or a surfing FBI agent.
Little Buddha was perfect for him because he didn't have many lines and could just be his pretty self while he mimed his way through the Buddha's night of enlightenment.
IRL, he seems like a genuinely decent dude.
