I admit I have no idea what my man Brad is talking about here, but then, even he has some problems grasping the concept. It´s either the grandmama of all koans, or some kind of deep Mahayana philosophy. Or maybe both, LOL.
The idea seems to be that when the Buddha (or anyone else) becomes enlightened, everything else in the entire universe (including the planet Earth itself) will become enlightened as well, instantly and simultaneously.
And yet, here we are. Unenlightened, as it were. So wazza up with the buddhahood? Brad tries to enlighten (sic) us about this by reading from some Zen commentary. It´s interesting after a fashion, but ultimately he can only say that it´s a mystery...and introduce us to his little pet dog!?
