B. Alan Wallace Quotes

When You Are Asked, "What Am I Holding In My Hand?" And Answer, "a Cup," You Have Just Grasped On To "cup-ness." You Have Identified An Object Within The Context Of A Conceptual Framework - A Word, A Sign. So The Mind That Latches On To A Sign - Here An Image Commonly Designated As A "cup" - Does So Through Grasping. Although You Are Merely Identifying "That's A Cup," This Is Also A Form Of Grasping. It May Not Be The Kind Of Grasping That Will Lead To Endless Misery, But It Is A Subtle Form Of Grasping.
