This video has so many layers! You know, when I was on my early studies I struggled a lot with this coded language that Buddha used for teaching . I was like “just give the answer already, man!” 😂 But as life progressed and I gathered more experience I began to understand. These topics, despite being absolutely simple, are extremely hard to understand without an active and vigorous will to learn. Simple answers would lead only to shallow debates. So yeah… do we exist? Empty is form and form is empty. About the interdependent arising, I feel it’s also Samsara itself. This net of matter, solar systems, of needs, of constant hunger, seeking and feeding, raw necessities, birth-reproduction-death, trades, transformation, karma… being born into existence is to spin the wheel of Samsara. And then you start to see that suffering is imbedded into existence to the core. And the more we realize that, the more suffering loses friction with our minds… we can still feel it, but it doesn’t hurt as much anymore. We begin to see that every single one of us is swimming as hard as one can to survive existence. Just a bubbly foam of life, drifting upon an infinite soup of matter.

I realised recently, when I remember places I have been in the past and think about visiting them again, if I returned to that same location the place would not be the same place. What you have in your memory is absolutely unique, a one-off occurance never to be repeated. You had the experience of being in that place at that time, at that time of day, in that season. You will never have that identical feeling again. The now is really all there is, and memories of past nows

[@MoisesD-qk8go]

You’ve never been in one place or the other. If anythng a place appeared to be in “you” , and a”I” appeared to be in it. It’s appearing now. But there’s no really an “I” and no “place’, language and a cognitive mapping makes them appear so. There’s only always empty here

[@Jimmie666]

One of my favorite stories is that of the Bhudda's final test. After he reached enlightenment, the demoness Mara approached him and told him "No one will understand you Bhudda". Bhudda thought for a minute and said distinctly "Some will understand." With this insight and assertion Bhudda had just passed his final test. I am not Bhudda but I have faced a similar dynamic in my Path. I may have a glimpse here and there without my figurative headset. I don't expect everyone to understand as this is a prescription for failure (see quote by Bill Cosby). But some will understand. I paradoxically as a student on the Path wish to understand those who I might not understand if I'm not careful and open-minded. When I learn then I must have the will to share this with others who may not in turn understand me. Peace. 😎

Im a schizophrenic. I do doordash for extra money. One order at night, i arrived and walked to the door, placed his food down and took a picture. I got in my car and drove away. 30 minutes later he called and asked where his food was, i totally remember taking the picture at his doorstep. So he took it up with Doordash. An order later, i opened my back door and.. saw his order. I was so confused why it was there. I remembered everything about going there and taking the picture. He said I was never on his cameras.. Appearantly i hallucinated the whole delivery. I was there, but must of never left the car or even drove up.. What was i doing then?? Staring blankly at the windshield? With glazed over eyes?? I called him and apologized but he already got his refund. I felt so terrible. Im on medication and nothing works. It just goes to show how easily some misfirings in the brain can completely alter your sense of reality.

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to an NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

Another great video. Thank you! 🙏 It brings me back to the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra and the teachings within the sutra on sense perception, interdependent origination, and sunyata (“emptiness” or “voidness”). I like to remind myself that “Form is Void, and the Void is the Form.” Form (the physical and mental phenomena we perceive) is empty of inherent existence (void), and this emptiness (void) is not separate from the phenomena (form). All phenomena are devoid of intrinsic nature. I find myself going back to the Heart Sutra whenever I experience a strong feel or attachment to the perception of the experience. The moment of reflection and the letting go of that strong feel or attachment is like crossing to the other shore on the raft and letting the raft go upon reaching the other shore.

You wrap up neatly and succinctly ideas I have struggled to communicate. Due to linguistic shortcomings. Mostly on the part of those I was trying to illuminate. And, my inability to speak in the common vernacular.

Thank you, indeed all is empty, but empty is all. This content is incredible, it's poetic, a beautiful discription, it is food for thought. But emptiness is to be experienced, it is our true nature, the only true way of living. Even with incredible poets like you to describe those concepts, still we need to sit, to experience and express to understand. Thank you

Gratitide is the right attitude. So much of what you said aligns with experiences with Dhiravamsa 3 month Vipassana retreat where one day for a blissful minutes(I think Therefore I am totally didn't matter to my wholenesswithout any drugs, I meaning my dual nature disappeared and suddenly every move in the grass, ripple in the sky had dissolved me.

The Universe is comprised of wavelengths. Light, sound, electronic frequencies, water, air, radiation, and even emotional waves. Must give us pause. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge; hope's strength, resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (series)
