Now this drop of water comes in contact with red color. Its name will change to red drop of water. All...

You can easily get all the answers and experience by following these instructions. 1. Join any vipassana centre either in India or any where in the world.

"we" "our" "bodies" have no reality. Every second they are changing. Their ultimate destination is Lotus sutra . Lotus sutra acts out as a juicer. It takes out the juice named "WISDOM", when the body is ripe and ready. This WISDOM is always reshaping the CREAT...

I meet many westerners who believe they are God or something similar. Especially you can find them online. Sadly there is nothing to it. It's just a quite common psychic disorder.

What difference could it be in between voice hearers and Buddhas if both end their journey in Nirvan (tranquil extinction)? Is it that the voice hearer is so deeply connected with Buddha that he can not go separate at any stage. The voice hearer's and Buddha both have to wait for each other to go to...

There are a certain words in English translation of Lotus sutra by Burton Watson. Discussion on them will help me a lot. 1. Tranquil extinction. 2. Voice hearers and Buddhas both end their journey at Nirvan. 3 One vehicle , not two nor three. There is a long list . The above three will do for now.
