Pourquoi est-il si important de distinguer la vérité relative et la vérité absolue? Tant que subsiste une confusion entre le mode ultime et le mode apparent des phénomènes, tant que nous croyons que les phénomènes ont une existence en soi, notre esprit est envahi par un nombre incalculable de pensées, d'émotions positives ou négatives. On peut bien sûr tenter d'appliquer à chacune de ses émotions un antidote particulier, la sympathie pour contrecarrer la jalousie, par exemple. Mais aucun de ces antidotes n'est capable à lui seul de couper la racine de l'ignorance, notre attachement à la réalité des phénomènes. Pour trancher cet attachement, il est nécessaire de reconnaître la nature ultime des phénomènes que l'on appelle vacuité. Pour celui ou celle qui a atteint l'omniscience de l'état de Bouddha, il n'y a plus de dualité entre le mode apparent et le mode ultime des choses.La perception des phénomènes apparents subsiste, mais cette perception n'est plus fausséee par l'ignorance qui consiste à prendre ces phénomènes pour des entités intrinsèquement existantes. Leur mode ultime, la vacuité, est perçu simultanément.

Why not make a story more interesting?
I was in a low today, I switched on the tv and started watching this biopic about the extravagant Diana Vreeland, the iconic columnist for Harper's Bazaar and chief editor of Vogue magazine. I had never heard about her before and 90 minutes was all it took for me to be in total awe. Those happy few who have an extraordinary capacity of mixing and matching all the colors in their palette are simply irresistible. Mrs.Vreeland flew over the decades with poise, elegance, a flawless sense of taste, vigorous energy and enough intrepidity to set new trails in fashion. She would dare go where no one had ever set foot before. That also, without ever worrying about what people would say. She said that there is nothing more important in life than style, mainly the one you carry in your attitude.Obviously I spent the whole afternoon reading about my new found friend and delighted on those exquisite quotes of hers:
“A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste—it’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I’m against.”
“I think when you’re young you should be a lot with yourself and your sufferings. Then one day you get out where the sun shines and the rain rains and the snow snows and it all comes together.”
