Thus the Buddhadidn’t trouble the monks with the technical details of the existence of tree spirits.Instead he went directly to the root of the problem.When we do harm to others, we become attached to consequences of our action.When we rationally determine that we have escaped the consequences, our deeper minds, often correctly, come to believe that justice, lies hidden somewhere in the world around us.Since the internal monologue has dismissed our cautions and proceeds headlong into self centered action, the mind simply communicates beyond words and as artists have done to avoid despotic censorship since the beginning of time, simply weaves the truth into the fabric of an acceptable story. If our actions are harmful, a feeling of nemesis begins to take form.
