Results oriented natural state awareness

Recommended Posts

The function of a 'religion' is to re-link or re-bind oneself to the natural state. 

 

Nothing that can be written, read, heard, chanted, realized, or comprehended contains more than human constructed fantasy choice to replace appreciation of the natural state with fleeting confusion. 

 

Buddhist temples in the US contain suffering beings, including a master pointlessly suffering the suffering students. 

Buddhist temples in China and Japan contain suffering beings, including a master pointlessly suffering the suffering students. 

Zen temples in the US contain suffering beings, including a master pointlessly suffering the suffering students. 

Zen temples in China and Japan contain suffering beings, including a master pointlessly suffering the suffering students. 

 

The teachers and students at each share and exchange various levels and styles of pointless suffering to hone the practice.  The more expensive/elite the facility or retreat, the more creatively the participants have to work to maintain ways to replace the natural state with pointlessly suffering experiencing being in the company of their own mind.  Discourse is centered around exchanging delusions, and a variety of non-committal ritual gestures, often including sitting.

 

The summation of all religious texts, from Sumerian to Vedic, to Zen, to Buddhist poetry that may leave ones face streaked with tears of joy, is not more than some patterns of ink droplets or pixels, and does not contain the real or aspects of the natural state. 

 

A religion that you spend an hour a week on at a church or temple, or 20hrs a day on will offer no more than a body that's older and closer to death afterwards if it's done as some type of 'practice' or 'exercise' as opposed to a mindful lifestyle. 

 

All expressible thoughts are fleeting delusions that mercifully arise and persist and conclude, having never contained more than human sensory phenomena artifact induced confusion of what may be. 

 

The natural state has never for an instant been out of reach of any being, an experientially programmed and self-sustaining dependently arising illusion of thoughts are grasped at like vapors while the natural state remains. 

 

Waiting to appreciate Now tomorrow is death while the gift of the bodies function is still active.  

 

The universe shared an incredible gift of another spinal injury that included exactly the right number of weeks of laying immobile in an ocean of exactly the right amount of pain sensations delivered with every breath to befriend pain and all sensation with equanimity and sincere gratitude.  

 

Seeking 'Buddhism', or any religious dogma or ritual or doctrine adds another set of constructs separating awareness of the natural state. 

 

While this loan of energy in body-shape remains animate and responsive to the will of your consciousness, seek experience and embrace it.

 

Unlimited Love,

In compassion for life, and respect for Buddhist practicality in over clarity:

 

Following the path of another being will be a sincere role-playing effort at its most genuine. 

 

This one moment is a choose-ones-own-adventure novel limited only by one's mindful choice and creativity in appreciation of this movement composing the whole of the real. 

 

Embrace gratitude with every breath drinking in the shared hemoglobin and chlorophyll linked shared flowing juice of the earth. Embrace with gratitude every swallow of food or drink with awareness it contains all the parts needed to heal. The body makes a type of cells capable of replacing all types of its cells. Scars grow back thousands of times because the body chooses to maintain that structure, but it's not an alteration to the DNA it retains blueprints for cells to grow themselves to the original design specifications. Be grateful for sensation rich healing with every breath being an exchange of energy equally capable of delivering energy to cancers or repairing and restoring itself. 

 

Choose ones own ethics in real time this moment and live them dynamically in an evolution with unbounded creativity and vision. 

 

In efforts of Buddhist practically:

 

Living in recognition of one's expressable mind being a fleeting aspect of a whole as an unbounded continously evolving active process. To which dogma or ritual does a Buddha attach, and what is attached beyond delusions of atoms pondering atoms in the yet-to-dust state. Rest in the grateful support under your feet in the beautiful assembly of earth orbiting a speck of energy in a vast scene of beauty in balance of what some unnecessarily label "destruction"  and "creation".

 

Routine functions as a socially acceptable route into a coffin, yet remains optional. 

 

Unlimited Love, 

-Bud

Quote Ted from above by Bud Jetson:

 

"A religion that you spend an hour a week on at a church or temple, or 20hrs a day on will offer no more than a body that's older and closer to death afterwards if it's done as some type of 'practice' or 'exercise' as opposed to a mindful lifestyle."

 

This is so true and hard to hear.

 

Regular practice - however - done within the intent of a mindful lifestyle - and done at a regular time (a routine) - the whole universe will shift to your awareness in advance of that time. Your day will change prior to it - your body will anticipate the forces of flow that you enjoin with in simple being. Trumpets do sound and mandalas spin in the ebb and flow of regular practice - and unceasing practice - even when at ones lowest points of abandonment and desolation peace is met in the stillness of obliteration.

An effectual teacher is priceless. 

 

The work you've shared here is an aspect of the grace in this one moment. What an honor and privilege to experience your company soon friend. 

 

Thank you universe for all the enriching content so many folks have kindly contributed, fellow taobums and all Buddhas with or without Buddha-mind awareness. 

 

The universe offers lessons in each big ocean wave and icy slope and body crumpling asphalt/dirt/tree/fist impact.  Rising from prone to standing position includes intense sensory phonemona  ritual featuring mindful commitment. 

 

Folks who live in a van with their motorcycle in the parking lot of a motocross track for a decade, living on PBJ sandwiches and handling their own trauma injury care may not recognize the word 'Zen', or even know how to read or write as the universe blasts them on their way.  

 

Relentlessly suck the wisdom from this one moment in genuine appreciation of the universe as a ritual separated by conception and death.  

 

In respect for the immensity of my self-ignorance, anything including a ritual which is always optionally presenting an opportunity for boundless discovery and appreciation from start to finish. 

 

Manifestion is powered by oxygen/CO2 gas exchange altering the energy states of the food in your guts and the choices to guide that energy.  Where ones attention goes so does that energy transfered from food and the atmosphere into creating the fleeting experience in dependant arising of Self and whatever fantasys self wishes to persist in now to the limits of its creativity. 

 

Unlimited appreciation offers a trap one may optionally accept as comfortable persistence, while Awareness remains burning brilliantly with timeless indifference.

 

Unlimited gratitude for yourself and all teachers and taobums and fellow shipmates in this beautiful unfolding of a moment a breath at a time. 

 

Unlimited Love, 

-Bud

The natural state.

Suppose there are no answers

But what was the question?

If there is no confusion, what could satori/enlightenment do for you?

Buddha=awareness

Dharma=truth

Sangha=purity

(Hui Neng, Platform sutra)
