The news reported on investigation into whether she was  mentally ill or not. But of course she was ill! Even if she was proven not ill in  the conventional medical sense, she was ill in the spiritual sense. If  she is believed to be not unsound in any way, isn&#8217;t it more disturbing?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">As long as we have and let latent greed and hatred manifest from  delusions unchecked by ourselves by mindfulness, we are already unsound to that extent. <\/span>It is scary how a moment of unmindful rage can spin out of control, leading from one  regretful &#8216;crazy&#8217; act to another&#8230; which is why it is important to tune to our  Buddha-nature by mindfulness of Buddha as much as we can!
