I went to this school with love for nature, but after its completion all the respect and charm was gone. Every tree, every plant and flower or animal has a nonsense name assigned by someone and forced it to others. And we had to learn it as a truth. And yet, did anyone think if a tree, flower, or animal is interested in human naming? So I have deliberately forgotten and purified my feelings and my mind, and the perception of natural magic is back.There is only the pure existence of trees, plants and flowers, as it always has been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503343403447126648.post-81291061900541714632018-10-26T06:20:49.362+01:002018-10-26T06:20:49.362+01:00I just tried this.

And feeling awkward little without writing "me" or "my" in front of face, body. This is clear notification of "I" thingy habit.GoodMorningSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905740016038435724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503343403447126648.post-225578307531050042015-07-14T08:45:48.947+01:002015-07-14T08:45:48.947+01:00Wonderful enlightening, merci Wonderful enlightening, merci Bertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366403544288220313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503343403447126648.post-42516542871581944912015-02-13T18:35:39.458+00:002015-02-13T18:35:39.458+00:00I love this.

Why mus...Appearances are determined into existence. Why must we determine them? Because they don't intrinsically exist. For example, suppose somebody wanted to make a marker. He would take a piece of wood or a rock and place it on the ground, and then call it a marker. Actually it's not a marker. There isn't any marker, that's why you must determine it into existence. In the same way we ''determine'' cities, people, cattle - everything! Why must we determine these things? Because originally they do not exist. <br /><br />Concepts such as ''monk'' and ''layperson'' are also ''determinations.'' We determine these things into existence because intrinsically they aren't here. It's like having an empty dish - you can put anything you like into it because it's empty. This is the nature of determined reality. Men and women are simply determined concepts, as are all the things around us.<br /><br />If we know the truth of determinations clearly, we will know that there are no beings, because ''beings'' are determined things. Understanding that these things are simply determinations, you can be at peace. But if you believe that the person, being, the ''mine,'' the ''theirs,'' and so on are intrinsic qualities, then you must laugh and cry over them. These are the proliferation of conditioning factors. If we take such things to be ours there will always be suffering. This is micchāditthi, wrong view. Names are not intrinsic realities, they are provisional truths. Only after we are born do we obtain names, isn't that so? Or did you have your name already when you were born? The name comes afterwards, right? Why must we determine these names? Because intrinsically they aren't there.<br /><br />Ajahn ChahJBShooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06510776537831345326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503343403447126648.post-32312205750891469682012-09-26T13:42:16.676+01:002012-09-26T13:42:16.676+01:00well correction to the above!

Just wanted to tell an experience I had today: I was looking inside for an "I", "me" "self"....and could not locate one.....Then I noticed I was projecting my mind outward...and had the sense of an "I". I have not done any One-on-One yet...just reading the threads and applying what I read. Just asking...am I on the right track, or duping myself...which I am very good at by the way.<br /><br />LonilMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503343403447126648.post-89952838180189794222012-05-16T07:44:15.391+01:002012-05-16T07:44:15.391+01:00Ilona,
