You are worshiping satan himself. Have fun joining him in the pit for eternity.

[@cresenciohernandez8310]

Truly an enigma to know that emptiness is truth in manifesto. To awake to that and see yourself is Truth. Peace is still the body awaits to be awake in that state and can only in wakefulness be happy.

I did discover contemplation and reflection beyond meditating. I am very much encouraged by His Holiness' lecture - more study and meditation to become a better bodhisattva.

[@stevemcnabb2071]

When I became a student of Buddhism seeking enlightenment and first heard of the "four noble truths" , I , like others , as I have heard, were seeking primarily because of "suffering" in our lives. At first thought one might say that everyone suffers for one's personal reasons; that each suffers in their own way and that may be true. But going deeper into what the root cause of everyone's suffering you find it is the fear of lack. To find your way to live without the fear of lack one must learn that that fear of lack is totally baseless. Does that fear never come back into your life? Yes, on occasion and for different reasons. But we have our minds and we have the ability to see the root cause of it and so, we can see it's true 'value'. Because we have the freedom to choose, fear and therefore suffering has no value and no power to keep you enslaved. Becoming "enlightened" doesn't mean you are not in this world, it means just the opposite but you are not ruled by the pressures and influence of the fear of lack for anything. Certainly then life becomes full of joy, even blissful!

[@carlmalone9694]

"Ignoring" senses is very astonishing sentence as it means that we use the same mind which is controlling to control THAT mind. In my minuscule one year of practice of "trying" to meditate..I have experienced that meditation is a friend if you BRING ALONG your senses with you bring your family on a holiday rather than going alone and leave them behind ..only to think about them over n over again. Hypothetical example: "When tasting my first cup of coffee n tea using the sense of taste n smell allows me to appreciate the fact that I can drink this coffee..look out from my window to anything outside.." rather than having a negation fear orientation "...coffee creates this or that in my mind..and then I will be this or that in the day or what will happen to my meditation practice if I did this..." this is path of agitated mind...and in my experience so far..it's not bringing me closer to me...but allowing the "sense dependence" even more. I met an old man in Thailand who said : having no sex doesn't mean you're celibate; making love with complete awareness is what makes you a celibate. We pay too much importance to physical celibacy whereas it's home is in our minds. Needs that are natural to us and which brings joy to all beings WILL always have certain sense relations. So, its better to make all of them as friends and allow your journey to be a joyous one... "...you don't fight the waves when in sea ..you float with them to reach your destination by opening the sail.."

Equanimity is a type of compassion. Question objectivity of the eye of atma identifying the object is it not all in the minds eye? Or an aggregate of the whole ? Therefore is it recognized cognition of of Buddhahood?

[@2omskwithlove]

"all afflicitive emotions comes from grasping at true existinance" 31.50, agreed, but what about the grasping at consciousness, at tibet, at the earth, at USA or Russia... ..all these things are compounded, arise, and will go away in terms of the illusion of their individual static identity, yes? So what is the "subtlelest level of mind"? What is its nature? It is emptinesss, which is characterised by the lack of identifying characterics, only interdependence and composite nature, and a rocks nature is the same yes? So.... one beautiful point there, everything is alive... and bacteria evolve from rocks ))) of this i am certain....

[@dadphotos7052]

Can Meditation help our minds to investigate the smallest discrepancies in our own sufferings (possibility through both subsets of physical and spiritual relationships)? Can our minds get to the state of emptiness, where suffering doesn’t exist?

[@DrOtto-sx7cp]

yes

[@dadphotos7052]

Dr. Otto How? Can you please explain?

[@Zayras7]

Dad Photos big questions are not easily answered. Taking the Buddhist point of view, suffering arises from attachment (or its inverse), the root of which is ignorance. Ignorance in Buddhist philosophy is simply not understanding the way in which things exist. It is not a character flaw, but the state in which we find ourselves stuck.

[@Zayras7]

Our perceptions define how we view ourselves and the world. We act according to those perceptions. The Buddhist path is to view those perceptions as perceptions, so that we may see more clearly things are they are; ourselves as we are; others as they are. The more we see ourselves and ask ourselves what we are, the more we realize we are not one thing. We are not awful, we are not depression, we are not anxiety, we are not the greatest thing in the world nor the worst thing in the world. We are not an illness. We are not a combination of those things. Those things, as all things do, come and go. We do experience them, but because they change, because we change, because all things change, we can change how we relate to them. It's all about perception. We can change how we see them, how we respond or react to them. The more we see the ways in which we relate to the universe (both internal and external -- inseparable, really) the more we see how connected we all are. Not just to other people or beings, but to things, nature and/or the universe itself. In order to see that, we must be willing to see our perceptions, understand our emotions, remember that they arise due to a variety of causes and conditions and such being the case, they are impermanent, they are not as concrete as we believe them to be. We have the incredible potential to see clearly.

[@frederickforczyk6033]

Tantric belief is it duality the reason I'm asking is one wheel a single objective? And two wheels dualism. Because there is no reinvention of the wheel?

[@richgarcia9254]

Does practicing forgiveness mean accepting wrong doing? Isn't this the whole point?

[@thomasschwarz1973]

Question... if the nature of our mind is emptiness, which is the nature of all things, which is the truth of dependent origination, and the truth of the composite nature of all things.... ...and if all life evolves without beginning, from rocks and minerals created in star explosions, then... the fundamental nature of my mind, and the fundamental nature of all things, is the same as the fundamental nature of a rock: emptiness. i think it is true, no? "life" is poorly defined, all things are "empty" and all things are "alive" arising and subsiding, replicating, evolving. yes?

[@Zayras7]

If I am understanding you correctly, in a way, yes. The identification between self and other (including other things) is merely a perception. As is the perception that life exists in a certain way or from a certain viewpoint; it is merely a perception, no matter how high or subtle. Life is, so be. Being, act. Acting, forget. Nothing is gained. Nothing is achieved. Simultaneously, from the viewpoint you pointed out and without contradiction, there is no separation of self and other, all is interconnected, relatable. Life is, so be.
