Holy Truth, Icon, Obstacle


The Buddha's "holy truths" of understanding anguish, letting go of craving, realizing cessation and cultivating a path are not things in which to believe so much as injunctions on which to act. As soon as they as elevated to the status of icons, they can be as much an obstacle as anything else.
