TOPIC: FIRE SERMON?? |
|
|
 |
Posted on Sep.19.2012 @ 01:34PM EDT by Avisitor
My friend Tangawizi posted this (hope you like it):
In the Fire Sermon, the Buddha basically taught that we’re on fire. We
may not know it but we’re on fire, and we have to put that fire out.
We’re burning with desire. We’re burning with craving. Everything about
us is out of control.
The Buddha goes on to make the same statement about each of the sense
bases (ear, nose, tongue, body, intellect/mind) are on fire. He goes
deeper to explain how the fires kindle themselves at a much more basic
level than our thoughts and emotions. As soon as our senses engage with
their objects, Buddha says, infatuation, aversion and confusion are
already present. In this analysis, the fuel of the Fire is our fundamental perception of the world.
In terms of meditation and enlightenment, the flame is blown out: the
fires of greed, hatred, and delusion are cooled. The term
Nirvana/Nibbana means blowing out, extinguish. One leaves the fuel of
craving behind, and thus extinguishes suffering for good. Do u remember
I once gave you a metaphor of nirvana by Thai meditation teacher Phra
Ajaan Fuang Jotiko—to the effect that the mind released is like fire
that has gone out: The fire is not annihilated, he said, but is still
there, diffused in the air; it simply no longer latches on to any fuel.
Likewise, in the context of mindfulness, burning up defilement really strikes a chord with me for this same reason.
You have the Zen Dogen way of saying we let these mental defilement go.
This is just a surface description of the Fire metaphor used by the
Buddha. In the Fire Sermon, he is calling on us to be able to recognize
and let go of a grasp that is pre-conscious, that happens before we’re
normally even aware of it.
“Bhikkhus, without directly knowing and fully understanding the all,
without developing dispassion toward it and abandoning it, one is
incapable of destroying suffering. And what, bhikkhus, is the all? The
eye and forms and things to be recognized by eye-consciousness, etc.”

------------------------------------------------
With awakening, ones fundamental perception of the world is irrevocably blown away.
It could be said that ones worldly view is replaced by a universal view.
Then one can say, *I am in this world, but I am not of this world.* Which I believe is something that Jesus said.
The time and space of this life are no longer boundaries, just parameters.

" ......... A couple of times, while I was asleep, I could feel my body shaking. Afraid of what it might mean, I forced myself awake only to find my blanket had come off me and I was shuddering from the cold. My fundamental perception of the world is that it is a very cold place. Aversion. I searched quickly for my blanket. Greed. And, I went back to sleep. Delusion. Good night yall.

One can say a lot of things. Or one can just shut up and drink the tea. Time for me to move my stuff into my new place. "Now I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains. Where the spirits go." |

A non-invasive sonic stimulation: A killer melody - liar, liar, brain's on fire.
Burning heart - a living fire for all creation, blazing constantly, yet not consumed. Burning and extinguished by the same breath.
What a scorcher. What a preacher. May you receive the resurrection while you live. |

Sorry, I don't preach. I don't care about anyone else .. so, I don't preach. I had hoped to share but after I posted, I realized that it wasn't going to help anyone here. And for my efforts, I get ridicule. Fine. Last time I try anything like this again.

Just say what you have to say.
It doesnt matter what anyone else thinks about it,
although what they have to say may be interesting too.
Your ability to let ridicule roll off your back like water off a duck,
may be a good measure of where you are on your path. |

Sometimes I can see how the force of habit keeps me continuing to do what I have always done. Ridicule doesn't bother me as much as it did before. Still, I react the same way when I encounter it. I can see the choices .. I just haven't chosen to make a different choice yet.
What I have to say is stuff that I think would be of interest to those who want to learn more about what we are doing here. But, guessing it isn't necessary.

Your ego tells you to come here and write and be recognised :) but it can not be (because it is not telling you the truth) so you can only suffer. And then suffering your ego tries to go fishing for some validation (which can only lead to more of the same).
Count breaths drink tea.

We are all on different paths, even if we are going in the same direction, or not. Maybe like being in different lanes on the highway.
Its an illusion, or worse yet a delusion, that one can help another along their path. We can wave at each other, or even moon each other, but we really cant help each other.
We all have to walk our own path. |

Rid i ... Cool.
You wanta soundbite'S'your bread & bitter Zen and Love and Guacamole - from whipping-boy to scapegoat all in 3 easy courses - but only as tasty as the Buddha you counterfeit. [Subliminal messages have been inserted into all the subliminal dishes on TeeHee and fires will be kindled to testify that 2 + 2 = 4]. May you die while alive and bear much fruit.

You're just fine, Justin. Like any human interaction, we just come here and interact, and what happens happens. If someone doesn't need to come back, they don't come back. If they do, they do. So here we are, doing what we do. Learn what you need to learn, unlearn what you need to unlearn, digest what you need to digest, do what you need to do.
I come here because I need to and am needed to, like anyone else. It has nothing to do with ego. It's just people being people. And this "person" that is Derek loves you guys, so here I am.

We're always helping each other, Don. "Different paths" is what is known in Zen as 'small "I" mind'. "One Way" is known as 'big "I" mind'. It's the Tao, the Buddha, God, whatever, the view that there is no separateness, just one big thing.
Everyone still has to make their own bed. But we're all keeping each other company in the hotel, which makes it easier to keep making it, and makes it so we can sleep on it. Until we move on and don't have the bed or the hotel any more.

I know a chestnut;
Once all the scientists at the wold come together and look for the answer of "Whom the world will",
they make a computer and load all the informations about all countries.
then they ask the question to the computer.and press enter.
it says; Turks will be.
they surprise and ask Why?
Computer says all nations will go space and the world will be Turk's.

No it is not what I think. It is what is .... hahaha

This is fishing, this is ego wanting 'not ridicule' and when it is ridiculed (perceived ridicule that is my point) it throws the bottle out of the cot, in a tantrum. (fine, last time I try ......) (basically the same as right I'm taking my ball and going home) I try to explain the reasons for your upset lies with u perception of u. It can be nothing but ego, because the self which is not self suffers no ridicule or upset. |

Teachers do help, so I stand corrected. They help because you believe they help.
Did you know that no one has ever hypnotised anyone? All hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
The only thing a hypnotist does is *coach* the subjects along while they hypnotise themselves.
If and when you get to the top of the mountain, there wont be anyone there but you,
so then after that you can tell me who helped you. |

I am a puppet in a puppet show,
the only difference is that I know it,
so I can enjoy the show more, or not.....
There is no one to care about for me
except the Spirit, whom I love more than anything,
and she is everything to me. On the other hand,
I am nothing. |

This is fishing, this is ego wanting 'not ridicule' and when it is ridiculed (perceived ridicule that is my point) it throws the bottle out of the cot, in a tantrum. (fine, last time I try ......) (basically the same as right I'm taking my ball and going home) I try to explain the reasons for your upset lies with u perception of u. It can be nothing but ego, because the self which is not self suffers no ridicule or upset. " ......... Yes, I know it is ego. And, I know I have a choice of what to do about it. So,I choose to carry on the same as usual. I don't care about ridicule or what anyone thinks. It is all just stuff or a role to play. But, I thank you for your trying to help me. I am an ego in progress ... haha

Quote: Teachers do help, so I stand corrected. They help because you believe they help.
Did you know that no one has ever hypnotised anyone? All hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
The only thing a hypnotist does is *coach* the subjects along while they hypnotise themselves.
If and when you get to the top of the mountain, there wont be anyone there but you,
so then after that you can tell me who helped you. " ......... I'm sorry. That wasn't my point at all. I'm not here to correct anyone. I'm here to learn and share what little I know. Of course, it is more learning by butting heads ... hahaha
When I reach this metaphor of a mountain, Everyone who has been there .. will be there and no one will be there. Before that, I can tell you that each and everyone has found a way to help me. Just depends if I was ready to learn ... hahaha
Thanks for the encouragement. I think this is what I needed most.

Comprehension teachers may sometimes need help with spelling, grammar, syntax ... you name it, they may need it. And when last I had a look around in the teacher's ignore list, I saw his EGO skulking and crouching there, pretending to be the invisible man. |

Id suggest trying to avoid peconceived notions of what to expect.
I dont know what you can expect, something tailored just for you,
but it will blow you away.
I thought it was the experience of a lifetime, but Ive been back to the Void repeatedly,
enough to think of It as home, and It still blows me away.
Like a hopeless addict.... |

Quote: "A study in Greatness. Just a judgement-free observation." .........
That it!! That is the thing ... there is no such thing as Judgment Free observation. Everything in our preconditioned minds is set with judgement. Greed (clinging), hatred (aversion) and ignorance (delusion) are all preconditioned. Practice frees us of our preconditions.
So, you can't make a judgement free observation. Not with this mind.

Hello cryptic freddy. Here you are.
A smidgeon of delayed gratification there for ya, following your teachings on the hypocrisy of EGO and your ignore list recommendations.
You see arguments. I see that you ignore yourself through the other, when you could be loving through otherness. |

some try to help, and then some prefer didactics, I got a couple of football clubs down the road and they teach stuff too.
but it aint swimming.
People can tell if the comunication is honest or another ego thing.
some people have black clouds following them, the sunlight is restricted
from their sight. Some people think nonsense and antagonism is a
correct teaching method, and that ok for them. So people learn from
running some swimming why run when u are a swimmer?
The swimmer does not dislike the running, just learns better from
swimming. And the swimmer does not come out of the water just so as to
stand infront of the runner and attempt to prevent his running (he
rather be swimming) . No!!! let the runner run, and swimmer swim.
and some hide behind statements or ignore recomendations and try to pretend it isnt personal (everything that happens to a person for arguements sake is personal), it is meant as personal but not allways recieved this way. hahaha and some people havent realised that instead of being uposet about ignore buttons just behave cooperatively (especialy in a cooperative situation i think makes normal sense??)
but swimmer do not allways comunicate well with runners.

Oh the irony, the irony, my kingdom for the irony.
You're confusing judgement with discernment. Decalcify your pineal gland, cleanse your doors, and everything will appear as it is, infinite.
But, hey, so long and thanks for all the Ish.
