After Prince Siddharta ( Buddha) died over 2500 years ago , his words is taught by millions of people calling themselves as ‘ Buddhist Teacher”. These people mostly monks are learning Buddha’s words from various sources , from so many kind of practices / meditation , scriptures or by lineage . And they are using what they had learned , their skills and their experiences to teach people to know , to understand and to experience Buddha’s words . Their followers will then created a form of “ referrals” in mind and this referral later turned into a form of beliefs or faith . Their followers using what they have learned or experienced and strive to be the one they think they should be. So in short , Buddhist Teacher are using Buddha’s words to shape people into “ SOMEONE” …leading people to ‘ A GOAL “……. To me , this might be the greatest misleading of mankind . I have 2 points to highlight to all Buddhist Teacher . No 1 : BUDDHIST TEACHER ARE GUIDING PEOPLE INTO BECOMING SOMEONE WHAT IF THE WORDS OF BUDDHA LEADING PEOPLE INTO “ NO ONE” ? Dear Buddhist Teacher , In human culture , human are keeping and holding on knowledge / skills / experience / memories in mind and the mind is like a house full of rubbish and the owner of the house is constantly suffer , struggling to get out from the house but due to his nature , he is constantly collecting and keeping more and more rubbish into the house …….he continue to suffer of his own nature. Let me ask you a simple question :- What is left in mind if you take out all that you learned , all your knowledge , all your skills , all your experience , all your faith / beliefs , all your memories from your mind? The of the left in mind is YOU ……..so what are you ??? PERHAPS ,YOU are EMOTION , you are desire , you are love , you are anger , you are hate , you are greed , you are will , you are fear , you are ego …. and the words of Buddha is simply like an arrow pointing at YOU not a guide of who you should be. You are always HERE and you should be at peace of what you are …..is you that suffer struggling to be there , to be someone . Awaken to own nature , one no longer holds on to anything in mind . The mind will be at ease and this will allow realization to occur . Realization will contract the mind and reduce the growth of emotion . Wisdom is the ability to forget all including own nature . But , all Buddhist Teacher are teaching people to gain more knowledge , more skills , more faith and this is like collecting more rubbish into mind … The mind will expand and like an expanded balloon , pressure inside the balloon will increase and pressure resembles suffering ….. So Buddhist Teacher is leading people into a path of greater suffering in the name of Buddhism . No ( 2 ) WHAT IF THE WORDS OF BUDDHA IS NEVER ABOUT KNOWING OR UNDERSTANDING OR EXPERIENCING ? Dear Buddhist Teacher , Like all living , emotion have a natural nature to grow and emotion is feeding on “ referral” to grow and travelling in life . Referrals is a form of knowledge / skills / experience / memories / faith etc . Emotion using the physical body as a tool to sense and by a process of thinking to generate referral . Thinking is emotion in action . We thinking on learning to know , knowing to understand and understand to create referrals . So in another words , human think , human know and human understand to create referral that they will use it to grow more emotion and to live . Emotion will constantly hold on to all these referrals in mind but !!! each moment all nature is naturally changing …so holding anything in mind is like trying to block river water from naturally flowing into sea …that is suffering . Buddhist Teacher are causing people to creates and holding on referral in mind and that is the basis of human suffering . What if the words of Buddha is never about knowing or understanding or experiencing ? What if the words of Buddha is about REALIZATION and realization is of opposite nature of knowing / understanding ??? So the more you know , the more you understand , the further you will travel away from realization . So in short , Buddhist Teaching is teaching people to understand and to hold on Buddha’s words but Buddha’s words is about realization and realization is of opposite nature of knowing or understanding . Realization does not hold anything . So , there is possibility that Buddhist Teacher are like someone giving you muddy water to wash your clothing and let you expect it to be cleaned ……you will suffer of your own nature . My name is Ee Chuan Seng from Malaysia . I am currently at a mind that claim there is possibility that all Buddhist Teacher regardless their background or nature of teaching , as long as they teach , they are misleading Buddha’s words . I am here with my real name and a face on my profile . I will be responsible with all my claim .I cordially invites all Buddhist Teacher to debate with me on their reason and nature of teaching Buddhism as to challenge this current mind of me.
