Magic is kind of a sarcastic way to name things that shouldn't be happening. For example reincarnation, telepathy etc. What does Zen master would do? Would he inverse the flow of the waterfall? :) I guess not... He'd just point out to one. Isn't reincarnation the best example of attachment to ego? Isn't all parapsychology and paranormal things based on ego-ism?

I understand that ;) I understand that there is no beginning and no end. And when I die, other is born... I am other, I and other are completely unrelated and different, hence other isn't me. As in the first place there is no me or other. But why would the person I call "me" want its memories to continue? What's so special about "me"? If I die, I am all. If I live all is me. |

What is it that goes from one body to the next??
Who are you??
Your mind and body are made from aggregates
And so they do not truly exist ... they do not migrate from one to the next.
Only your true Buddha nature .. moves on .. it starts a new aggregate
Finding you true nature, allows you to be who you truly are ...
The greater your enlightenment then the greater your choice to not be reincarnated
I just read what I wrote .. I sound like the village idiot ... haha

Can you enumerate the aggregates of your mind, the aggregates of your body?

All these questions, your mind is never satisfied ...
You will never find the truth of your Buddha nature by asking me questions ... haha
Better to start asking yourself questions ... look inside of you and not outside

And I heard some strange talk too - three straights had scored a huge animal fat and sugar payday and they were really enjoying the damage. I couldn't understand a word they were drooling about but it sounded like A Requiem For The American Dream.
