Chapter Four
BUDDHISM and WHEELS
If focusing on something leads to pleasure, then we start wanting. And when we want something, we focus on it.
Focusing is the first step in the process which binds us to karma, and is essential to its continuation.
In Buddha's time the development of the spoked wooden cartwheel was causing a Cultural Revolution.
Buddha saw the connections: desire is self-perpetuating – once the wheels of desire start turning, then they turn with their own karmic momentum.
Panoramic sensing neutralises desire. We can't think or want when we are panoramically aware.
Panoramic sensing is a way of using the senses, without any sensory indulgence or sensory withdrawal. It is a practical expression of the Middle Way.
