Here, after having found the Path of Life beyond all lives and all deaths, Gautama—the Buddha—decided to set the Wheel of the Doctrine in motion and to give Man the teaching of the Noble Truths, which embodies the true vision of What IS. And also to teach about the Path that leads from Darkness to Light from Illusion to Truth from Death to Eternity.

Mendel6eff worked diligently at his studies and graduated at the head of his class. Never very robust during these early years, his health gradually weakened, and the news of his mother s death completely unnerved him. He had come to her as she lay on her death bed. She spoke to him of his future Refrain from illusions, insist on work and not on words. Patiently search divine and scientific truth. Mendel eff never forgot those words. Even as he dreamed, he always felt the solid earth beneath his feet. 

Random and structured packings are susceptible to surface fouling due to process conditions and/or the presence of oxygen as may be related to bacterial growth. Some systems will precipitate solids or crystals from solution usually due to the temperature and concentration effects. Bravo [135] discusses air-water stripping and illus-... 

Affective (mood) disorders are characterized by changes in mood. The most common manifestation is depression, arranging from mild to severe forms. Psychotic depression is accompanied by hallucinations and illusions. Mania is less common than depression. In bipolar affective disorder, depression alternates with mania. 

Environmental Cracking The problem of environmental cracking of metals and their alloys is very important. Of all the failure mechanism tests, the test for stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the most illusive. Stress corrosion is the acceleration of the rate of corrosion damage by static stress. SCC, the limiting case, is the spontaneous cracking that may result from combined effects of stress and corrosion. It is important to differentiate clearly between stress corrosion cracking and stress accelerated corrosion. Stress corro-... 

An alternative to many minds is to consider time as an illusion. The parameter that serves to describe change is just that, and has no independent meaning of its own. This assertion still begs the question of what creates the universal illusion called time. There is no escape from the conclusion that something out there is responsible for the perception that time flows and no... 

There is no evidence that Minkowski space is flat on the large scale. The assumption of euclidean Minkowski space could therefore be, and probably is an illusion, like the flat earth. In fact, there is compelling evidence from observed spectroscopic red shifts that space is curved over galactic distances. These red shifts are proportional to distances from the source, precisely as required by a curved space-time[52j. An alternative explanation, in terms of an expanding-universe model that ascribes the red shifts to a Doppler... 

One could go on with examples such as the use of a shirt rather than sand reduce the silt content of drinking water or the use of a net to separate fish from their native waters. Rather than that perhaps we should rely on the definition of a chemical equilibrium and its presence or absence. Chemical equilibria are dynamic with only the illusion of static state. Acetic acid dissociates in water to acetate-ion and hydrated hydrogen ion. At any instant, however, there is an acid molecule formed by recombination of acid anion and a proton cation while another acid molecule dissociates. The equilibrium constant is based on a dynamic process. Ordinary filtration is not an equilibrium process nor is it the case of crystals plucked from under a microscope into a waiting vial.
