a passage

i want to share this passage from e. pagel's 'beyond belief: the secret gospel of thomas':

"thus, in the Round Dance of the Cross, Jesus says that he suffers in order to reveal the nature of human suffering, and to teach the paradox that the Buddha also taught: that those who become aware of suffering simultaneously find release from it.
...
yet, he also tells them to join in the cosmic dance: 'whoever dances belongs to the whole. whoever does not dance does not know what happens."

so keep on dancing...
