Buddha's Dilemma

Buddha's Dilemma.

That life is worth living is the most necessary of assumptions and, were it not assumed, the most impossible of conclusions.
~~George Santayana.

Sounds nice. I surely don't have the courage/knowledge to disagree but at the same time do not have the mind to agree.

thank u , yes it indeed is a predicament!

Sudarshan,
nopes not a paradox,the most powerful dilemma buddha faced after immediately becoming buddha was to place his faith on an assumption or not, which i found in santayana's words.
may be assumption is the mother of all screw ups but it is an indispensible opium.

Very well done on paint indeed! Both this and the earlier one.

sudharshan...
we seem to have a stste here for disagreement...:))
buddha was teh first to face that dilemma of to preach or not....? the conversations with mara(the buddhist satan)is a proof , which in fact resulted in several sub types of buddhist practices.

Thanks!
