Simons 1st Law of Internet Interactions states that:
"Any discussions on Buddhist Forums that go beyond four pages are themselves examples of Samsara in action and are characterised by endless repetition, grasping at identity, aversion/attraction, and negative rumination"

I this like an offshoot of "Simon says"?

That's a different Simon, Greg.
'The Wire' is yet another Simon. And 'Mrs Robinson' yet another.

Pt. 2, I assume, adds that their connection to the stated topic becomes ever more tenuous?Simon E. wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2018 11:52 am Simons 1st Law of Internet Interactions states that:

Any discussion where one speaks of oneself in the third person is assuredly an example of Samsara in action.
How does Simon view Longchenpa's "The Basic Treasure of Space" (for one) in terms of this "Simon's Law"?
Re: Simons Law. Pt1.
Simon doesn't.
And talking of oneself in the first, second, OR third person only occurs in Samsara.

No thanks. I'll just wait for Simon's "mansplaining" of everything Dharma related and see what ensues.

I am a work in progress.
