Joseph Goldstein on "Non-Self" -- from Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, Vol. VI, #3

The Buddha described what we call "self" as a collection of aggregates - elements of mind and body - that function interdependently, creating the appearance of a woman or a man. We then identify with that image or appearance, taking it to be "I" or "mine," imagining it to have some inherent self-existence. For example we get up in the morning, look in the mirror, recognize the reflection, and think, "Yes, that's me again." We then add all kinds of concepts to this sense of self: I'm a woman or a man, I'm a certain age, I'm a happy or unhappy person -- the list goes on and on.

When we examine our experience, though, we see that there is not some core being to whom experience refers; rather it is simply "empty phenomena rolling on." It is "empty" in the sense that there is no one behind the arising and changing phenomena to whom they happen. A rainbow is a good example of this. We go out after a rainstorm and feel that moment of delight if a rainbow appears in the sky. Mostly, we simply enjoy the sight without investigating the real nature of what is happening. But when we look more deeply, it becomes clear that there is no "thing" called "rainbow" apart from the particular conditions of air and moisture and light. Each one of us is like that rainbow - an appearance, a magical display, arising out of our various elements of mind and body.

Harley-Davidson recalls 82,100 motorcycles for tire-pressure related crash risk​



Harley-Davidson is recalling over 82,100 Softail motorcycles due to a faulty part that could damage its rear tire and make it suddenly lose pressure.


The company said in a report filed earlier this month with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the recalled 2018-2019 FLDE, 2018-2021 FLHC, 2018-2024 FLHCS, 2018 and 2023 FLHCS ANV, 2020-2024 FXLRS, 2022-2024 FXLRST and 2022 FXRST Softail motorcycles may have a certain type of rear shock adjuster mounting tab installed that could potentially fracture.



Hmmm, seems mine didn't make the list.


Sorry, libturds, y'all will have to wish-n-hope for Something Else to take out Wat.




BTW: this is bait, so . . . .

I’ve never liked the way Softails ride, plus it’s cosmetic fakery, which is antithetical to the Brand, imo.

Give me an FLT shovel anytime, arguably their last real motorcycle, just as 911’s ceased being real in 1998.
