Summary: Today's FBA Dharmabyte, "Cutting the Rope," is an excerpt from the talk "Touching the Void" by Jnanavaca. Here he talks about the analogy of 'cutting the rope' and taking responsibility. In the full talk Jnanavaca relates events in Joe Simpson's popular mountaineering book 'Touching the Void' to aspects of Buddhist practice. Look out for some wonderful quotes - from T.E. Lawrence to Einstein. Inspiring stuff all round... Talk given at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, 2004
