Non-existence is without impact. On the other hand, it may be Nirvana.

I believe the song stated "almost heaven."  I don't think there was any mention of Nirvana.

Maybe Nirvana covered that godawful song, though?

John Denver, on the other hand, was not without impact.

This statement saddened me, as it did in 1997.

This statement is so beautiful that I am now in favor of Nirvana being renamed "Ziryaba" (oh yeah, and I liked the "impact" joke too). Smile

Most Westerners have no idea what Nirvana is, since their minds are so used to putting everything into categories. The fact that our culture is so self-centered is also of no help. Buddhism's focus is on experience, and not so much on esoteric knowledge.

Did they solve chess?

Your analysis of Master's games, maybe?

AlCzervik

Only if you're going to solve it.

chess will never be solved until we discover what the problem is.

That is certainly a beautiful point, beautifully stated.
