LeeNutter.com: The one who is not born and does not die

The one who is not born and does not die

Currently one hears a lot of nonsense about nonattachment to things. We should be free of the need for particular forms and experiences, some people say. However, the human being is a sentient being. It is through the senses that we reach no seeing, no hearing, no feeling, and so on. Moreover, the sense experience that is repeated from ancient days as ritual can evoke the one who is not born and does not die.

About This Site

My name is Lee Nutter, and you've stumbled across my blog. These days my updates are usually Zen related. More often than not they are quotes from respected teachers, but sometimes I'll write about my understanding of a topic. It's important to note that I am not a teacher and my understanding is at best imprecise and incomplete, but is more than likely confused and misconceived. Take it with a grain of salt.

If you want to know what else I'm up to you might want to follow me on twitter or check out my flickr photos. If you find this site interesting, please subscribe to the RSS Feed.
