Basic Concepts - practical thinking

Post by master of puppets »

EMPTINESS

There is

Void
Existence
Emptiness
and
Peace

are the basic concepts in the world

Here peace gets mobility

To understand emptiness we should think with in two dimension
Emptiness is there where the void and existence meet

Some 15 years ago a friend at another forum has asked me: "If the reflection of the moon is real or unreal?"
That was the question l began(study) buddhism by.

Since than l'm still thinking.

More than 15 years.

First we should understand Emptiness.

Teaching is emptiness.
ALL IS SAME EMPTINESS.
There is nothing to think in emptiness.
Since all is same emptiness; /so emptiness in mind\

Emptiness is spirituality.

A famous concept from Lotus sutra....
All Buddhas past , present and future abide in EMPTINESS and follow the path of Lotus sutra.

Abiding in EMPTINESS is moving towards Oneness.
Abiding in EMPTINESS can move the whole universe/ creation into void.
Absolute abideness is total destruction/ mahaparlay.

So absolute abideness can not exist. Before this Buddhas and Lotus sutra fills it in and they hold the flag of creation preventing the onset of mahaparlay.

Did the prevention of mahaparlay by Buddhas had a purpose?
Obviously they had a purpose.
What purpose?
As per Buddhas sermons to expand this creation to 32 planes.


There are hundreds of basic question? One can go on and on.
But who is interested?

grasping the letter of the text and ignoring its intention!
