what I say and do from now on because … … ‘ouch’,
and take a little care over I am hit by a stick –
I shall wise up I shall be angry with the stick,
‘damn my stupidity’, ‘damn stick’ …;
with cause and conditionality, but the stick by itself
my blind messing cannot hurt me,
I shall become angry at it is the wielder of the stick
now, for it to be enacted – that made it happen –
and it was conditioned by the right circumstances, I shall be angry with the wielder,
to say or do so, ‘damn wielder’ …;
it was caused by my tendency but, beforehand,
wasn’t just spontaneous, the wielder of the stick was
but what I said or did not my attacker,
‘damn what I said or did’ …; he was prompted by his anger,
I shall be angry at what I said or did, the anger made him wield the stick –
I said or did – I shall be angry at the anger,
it was prompted by something ‘damn his anger’ …;
erupt from nowhere, but his anger didn’t
from Bodhisattvacharyavatara Chapter VI – verse 41: Although the immediate cause of the blows and injury I receive is delivered by the stick yet I do not take this into account but, rather, become angry at the wielder of the stick, my aggressor, my attacker. But then, as the attacker, likewise, is wielded under the influence of anger, if I really must get angry, it would be more fitting for me to rise and become angry at the anger instead.

doing & speech wormhole: the reach turned to love
thinking wormhole: ‘there, …’
