  1. I am the way, the truth, and the life.

    When you "believe", you've removed Doubt, no one, not even yourself can remove "Belief", since you proved it to yourself, by finding the Truth through Wisdom, since Wisdom cut's through the ignorance of Doubt.
  2. I am the way, the truth, and the life.

    You have to think why don't Christians believe in Rebirth, yet Jesus Christ died and they say he's coming back but they also say that Jesus is the "Son" of "God". One would say "Don't destroy the three jewels" or you may become Christians.
  3. The origin of mankind

    If you wish to find the answer to "The origin of mankind" or better yet Humankind, it is within The Path of Enlightenment (series of suttas), When "the first and the last merge" what is lacking show's The origin of Humankind. Yes this is a riddle, but if you are "spoon feed" the answers, are you learning? are you seeking the truth? "One must understand what One is looking for (Destination), before seeking (Path), otherwise how does One know (Wisdom)' Om Munshuri Bodisatva Bodi Channa Sowaka
  4. This: all in this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream. Is Buddha's Dharma, maybe you are like the Enkyoji Nichiren Buddhist Temple, that say you can " slander " Buddha's Dharma.
  5. The essence of Buddhism

    Those that keep The Sacred Lotus Flower Sutta within their Hearts, "the Mantra is the Mind" and "the Body is within the Fleeting World". Therefore in Emptiness there are no instructive meanings, is there in this: The Great Cart thumps in agitation. The mantra (Namu Myoho Renge Kyo) is the mind (of Buddha) the Body (ultimate reality as it is, 'Jisso', now) is within the fleeting world. The great cart thumps in agitation like the ferry thumps impatiently at its mooring before the journey. So, one must enter the room, dawn on the robe, have Buddha Compassion, sit on the Throne and be Without Self, sense ultimate reality as it is, all in this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream. or So, one must enter the room, dawn on the robe, have Compassion without Choice, sit on the Throne and be Selfless, sense ultimate reality as it is, all in this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream. Ignorance - Fear- Hate - Suffering When people are born, they are born without Choice. When they grow up and learn their Name, they remember they were born with no Name, born without Choice. You learn that if you do not Choose, others will choose for you and that choice maynot be the choice you would choose. β€œ The cause of all sorrow lies at the very beginning; it is hidden in the ignorance from which life grows. Remove ignorance and you will destroy the wrong desires that rise from ignorance; destroy these desires and you will wipe out the wrong perception that rises from them. Destroy wrong perception and there is an end of errors in individualized beings. Destroy the errors in individualized beings and the illusions of the six fields will disappear. Destroy illusions and the contact with things will cease to beget misconception. Destroy misconception and you do away with thirst. Destroy thirst and you will be free of all morbid cleaving. Remove the cleaving and you destroy the selfishness of selfhood. If the selfishness of selfhood is destroyed you will be above birth, old age, disease, and death, and you will escape all suffering.” "Through many births I sought in vain The Builder of this House of Pain. Now, Builder, You are plain to see, and from this House at last I'm free; I burst the rafters, roof and wall, and dwell in the Peace beyond them all." Is this the essence of Buddhism?
  6. Story of a wanderer

    At age 24, 25 days before his 25th birthday he died, some say he brought something back with him. He is a Rooster (Phenix) and a Dog. When he was 45, on December 6th, a Roshi sitting before a statue of The Buddha within a Zendo caused Suffering to a student not once but twice in front of others and he sensed it. When he was face to face, heart to heart and soul to soul with that Roshi, the Roshi saw the mark on his left hand and moved away from him. Some Zen Buddhist have changed their websites to the "Old" colors after an encounter with him. Even the Taoist that benefit on the suffering of others have removed websites after a single email. When he gets pissed, all becomes quiet, becomes still, his voice deepens and you feel it at the very core of your existence. Some say it's prophecy, others say it's Manjushri in Buddha form, containing the wisdom of 1000's of Buddhas. But all you have to do is look around, look at the world, What outweighs what, Compassion or Suffering?

  8. The origin of mankind

    Why would you want to know the origin of Humankind? Why would you want to know the Purpose? Since the origin and the purpose are one in the same. Would you really want to know if you are fulfilling the Purpose, cause if you were not, What do you think that would hold for you?
  9. Story of a wanderer

    I neither eat nor touch people. For some reason some Buddhists like to shake hands, until they see the "mark" on my left hand, with the tassel on my handmade mala and slowly back away.
  10. Story of a wanderer

    I'd be careful what animals you eat, unless you are a cannibal.
  11. Story of a wanderer

    Bliss: It's Happiness evolves to a hyper-happy then Bliss, In Bliss some feel if they are "floating" and can have an Out of Body experience, they have felt hitting the ceiling, jerk and be back to hyper-happy or Happiness evolves to a hyper-happy then Bliss and you can not feel your body, if holding anything, they either drop it with no reaction or catch themselves from dropping it, pulling them out of Bliss to hyper-happy. Only certain people have possessed that state when they are to my right.
  12. Within realization you find Truth, within Truth you find Peace, Within Peace you find Harmony

    Are we not all both teachers and students? we even have teachers and students within us.
  14. Story of a wanderer

    When you are Born, you are Born without Choice, Born without a Name. At that very moment you learn the Name that was Chosen for you, you remember, You were Born without Choice, Born without a Name. You learn that if you do not make Choices, others will Choose for you and what they Choose may not be the Choice you would Choose. Some say that is the very moment when Duality is born. Would you like to Know how to find ALL the reincarnations forms? Know the very place where if your Soul did exist within you, the name of it? The very thing that removes Blind faith.
  15. A message

    I hear there is one that wanders among you, one that is teaching H.H. the Dalai Lama and the future one. I hear it defined the very place where a soul/spirit is, where all forms of reincarnation can be found and science can prove it. I hear it wrote two books, within one has "trees" that deal with everyone that was, is and will be for all of time. I hear that the Books take about an hour to read, simplicity at its finest, the Thing that cuts through Illusions. One should seek the Truth. Are we not all just something, you just don't know or realize what that something is. First you need to know what you are looking for before you seek it, otherwise HOW will YOU know if you have found it. If you make NO Judgment, you are saying: Neither Believe nor not Believe, it's as if NOTHING was said/done.
  16. A message

    Compassion It's not about Belief It's about Realization. "I'm not here to prove anything to anyone, because I know others and even themselves will remove it as they have done before, but I know if they prove it to themselves, others and not even themselves will ever remove it." When they prove it to themselves, they are seeking the truth, within the truth there is Peace, who would ever need to remove Peace?
  17. Story of a wanderer

    If you don't what that question is asking you are not living in reality. Just living, living in the construct of your "mind".
  18. Story of a wanderer

    Is extinction worth agreeing with it, is your Compassion worth existence.
  19. Story of a wanderer

    The above was sent to H.H. the Dalai Lama.
  20. Story of a wanderer

    Here's Pure Reality, you may have to read it, multiple times to understand it. If people were blind, there would be no Appearance. If people were deaf, there would be no Suffering. If people were mute, there would be no Hate. If people were all three, there would be, The Peace of Happiness The Silence of Bliss Since people see, there is Appearance. Since people hear, there is Suffering. Since people speak, there is Hate. Since people have all three, there is The Silence of Happiness The Silence of Bliss If people could not Feel, there will be Nothing. If people have no Compassion, there will be Nothing. The Silence of Happiness The Silence of Bliss
  21. Story of a wanderer

    Yes and that is what my Book does, when you are either awake or sleeping does not matter. .
  22. Fake enlightened teachers

    I like to say: You should not pretend to be something that you are NOT, you never know when you will be Face to Face, Heart to Heart and Soul to Soul with something that knows that you are not that. I know that I don’t know Everything because If I knew Everything, the form that I exist in now in life I would not be able to, but the form I existed in death I did but since I’m alive I know I do not know Everything.
  23. To begin my journey

    You first have to know what you are looking for, before you seek it, otherwise how will you know when you have found it?
  24. Should find the book titled: Patients has keen Insight, written by Everyone. It's not the destination, it's the journey. This book is very special for many reasons. It takes a single choice to read it, from that choice you are set on a path. This path is automatic, in time people have/will experience a state. They go to bed, when they wake, they are not thinking about what they did before and what they have to do that day, they feel peaceful, they feel the silence, they are in the moment. Then things through the day seem if they are falling into place, in today's society it is difficult to maintain this "falling into place", but it's not needed. After that they will become hypersensitive to life around them and people become transparent. They find that inner peace and inner happiness from a single choice. The book is written so that interpretation is not needed and it will be true till the end of time. And only takes about 45mins to read. When the mule goes blind, keep loading the cart.
  25. A message

    What H.H. the Dalai Lama talks about is in the second book written, has no title, but still written by Everyone. I bear a handmade Mala on my left wrist, made of beads from the Bodhi tree, The tassel is white and black representing the Balance, the tassel is bound in red, red for Compassion. The lesson I always carry with me, When there is no longer enough Compassion (red), the Balance will no longer be there and all in the world will become extinct.
