TOPIC: THE DIAMOND THAT CUTS THROUGH ILLUSION |

Posted on Dec.21.2012 @ 02:50PM EDT by sit_teh
The Diamond
The body is not the Self.
The mind, intellect, memory and ego are not the Self, either.
In essence, there is nothing called the Self.
That is why it is the Self.
That Cuts Though
All composed things are like a dream,
a phantom, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
That is how to meditate on them,
that is how to observe them.
Illusion
It cannot be said to be real or unreal it is what it is because it isn’t.

ok, unless you can understand french and english spoken at the same time, then connect earphones and put one part to your ear, and leave the other part to rest on your head. |

The Song of Seven
... where boundaries dissolve
the web of words
cutting all it touches ...
one verse ending
the air continueth

Say one has achieved the Diamond Body. Then what could be said the relation between the Diamond Body and this statement; "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies?" Since all composed things are like a dream etc. has the Diamond Body 'cut through' this kind of love? |

Maybe that's how two whole people love each other disinterestedly.

Well you can always experiment this and find out by yourself if it is true or not. You just have to stop thinking and your illusions will not arise.
But stop thinking is so hard to do. Even a diamond would brake and will not be of any use. If it is not hard many people must have done it in thousands of years. But it is a fact that so few have been able to stop thinking since the time of Buddha.
