More From Pope Paul VI

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

We define boredom as the pain a person feels when he's doing nothing or something irrelevant, instead of something he wants to do but won't, can't, or doesn't dare. boredom is acute when he knows the other thing and inhibits his action, e.g., out of politeness, embarrassment, fear of punishment or shame. boredom is chronic if he has repressed the thought of it and no longer is aware of it. a large part of stupidity is just the chronic boredom, for a person can't learn, or be intelligent about, what he's not interested in, when his repressed thoughts are elsewhere.

Patience and boredom are closely related. boredom, a certain kind of boredom, is really impatience. you don't like the way things are, they aren't interesting enough for you, so you deccide- and boredom is a decision-that you are bored.

A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

But some natives--most natives in the world--cannot go anywhere. they are too poor. they are too poor to go anywhere. they are too poor to escape the reality of their lives; and they are too poor to live properly in the place where they live, which is the very place you, the tourist, want to go--so when the natives see you, the tourist, they envy you, they envy your ability to leave your own banality and boredom, they enjoy your ability to turn their own banality and boredom into a source of pleasure for yourself.

Buddha was speaking about reality. reality may be one, in its deepest essence, but buddha also stated that all propositions about reality are only contingent. reality is devoid of any intrinsic identity that can be captured by any one single proposition - that is what buddha meant by "voidness." therefore, buddhism strongly discourages blind faith and fanaticism.

It is the same among the men and women, as among the silent trees; always a referred existence, an absence, never a presence and satisfaction. is it, that beauty can never be grasped? in persons and in landscape is equally inaccessible?
