TOPIC: CONTEMPLATING DEATH |
|
|
|
Posted on Jan.20.2013 @ 09:58PM EDT by QuantumZen
I find myself thinking of death once in a while. This is an ultimate test of zen-mind for me and as for now, I always fail. I don't fear death, but imagining losing someone is unbearable.

Well the only thing you can do is stop imagining. Don't punish yourself for what is not happening. You will not even be sure it will happen. |

In Zen, we try to live in the here and now.
When hungry, eat
When sleepy, sleep
When walking, walk
Mindfulness in all things
Contemplating death ... especially of loved ones is not Zen.
I know that clinging to loved ones will cause much pain and suffering
But, I don't stop clinging to love ... so, I believe that ...
When feeling pain, I hurt ... When I am very sad, I cry
That is life. That is truth.
I don't run away and hide from life.
And, I am grateful for the time I have ... hahaha

Once the ego dies then everything else comes in alive. So that, every sound connects with life, every vibration stems to another into the most minor field of perception, but only the ego would measure size and assign value of one above another. All is within, sound. |

Why do some believe that to stop thinking will bring enlightenment
Or why do some believe that the death of the ego will bring enlightenment
The truth is stranger than fiction .... hahahaha

Contemplating impermanence is not only a "Zen thing" it is a "Buddhist Thing".
There are many misguided, yet honest people here.
If you are serious about Zen, go directly to a Zen Center or Temple.
While I have found the online forums useful, they are filled with people who do not practice. They come up with all sorts of logical rules and ideas. It is necessary to be in the presence of a practicing Sangha and teacher, and to have your own practice, in order to truly learn about Zen.
I do like to come to the forums, I do like to listen in. I see a lot of the things I used to do and believe. I have not seen anyone here who would maliciously mislead, yet, they are misleading.
I have found that Zen in conjunction with another Buddhist path have stabalised my practice.
At my local Zen Center I have taken the History of Zen, a class on Shambhala, A class on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, a class on the Basics of Zen Meditation. I attend the Zen Center at least once a week for sitting and I attend the local Shambhala class for sitting and Dharma.
All of these together have put me in contact with very useful information. The Lotus Sutra, the Avantmansak Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Sutra, and much, much more.
Before I studied these things, I thought I had a handle on Zen but it was only an intellectual understanding. Zen is much more delicate like poetry.
There is a lot to learn and unlearn is what I am saying and being in here without proper teachers to clarify, can disrupt your true practice. |

Contemplating impermanence is a Buddhist thing
But, contemplating the death of loved ones is not
Be careful of your choice of words ... they lead to different ends.
While this is not the place to be debating whether one needs a teacher to have a Zen practice,
I would say that it is better to have a teacher rather than not.
However, if you keep your beginners mind and practice Zazen with right effort
And, right thinking and right living and right .... etc ... hahaha
Everyone here seems to have an idea of what is correct practice
And they post what they believe to be true
It is up to you to look inside yourself and see what it is that is real and true.
Practice helps to do this.

Try figuring out whether you are contemplating death and impermanence or you are contemplating death of loved ones.
Being like a Buddhist or not is your state of mind .... hahaha
This image you present is a sad commentary on the way people are so easily led to their demise.
May you not be so easily fooled.

AFTER-DEATH EXISTENCE & BELIEF TO THE BUDDHA
A wandering monk called Vaccha asked the Buddha if the Buddha would still exsist after death. The Buddha replied:
"Vaccha, the idea that I would exist or not exist after death - such
ideas lead to dense jungles and arid deserts, to entanglements as though
caught by thorns. They bring about anger, delusion, and argument and
they do not bring about peace, knowledge, or wisdom leading to
enlightenment. I do not take up any of these ideas."

Yeah, I agree with you principally, if one care, one do not allow someone to harbour ill will towards you. Since it is not good for anyone, especially the one who got to carry the ill will around.

That Guyana thing is very sad indeed. That is a good example of helping others without being able to help yourself. So the result is tragedy. |

One can not control how others feel about you.
Whether you harbor any ill will or not is your concern
I just do my best to be pleasant and helpful
It is up to you to choose whether to take any of the suggestions made or discard them.
I guess mocking me like boymonk does ... must be like the best compliment
Deep inside, you know my words ring true ... your ego just doesn't like it .... hahahaha

Ok, anyway, if you suspect others representations of your past posting is somewhat not 100% correct , then I gotta share my encounter with TechCrunch website yesterday. (Thou I probable woulda posted this story one way or another:))
Just happened to experience real history fraud like ripped from 1984!:)
Found this TechCrunch article claiming with certainty of having the first photos of the rumoured Galaxy note 8.0 in use.
There was two pictures there, and after some study I concluded that these where more probable than not an excellent done Photoshop fraud.
So I posted some comments with detailed explanations of where to look for tell tale sign in both pictures together with my suspicion of how it was made.
Also threw in a few links to two other articles from TechCrunch relating similar stories with different (more suspect) pictures that obviously the writer somehow forgot to mention before finishing off with a picture link to what I suspect is the real deal complete with specs and everything. (Looking similar except for having the standard Samsung only one physical button layout, thou, how it looks has looks has been detailed long ago by whistleblowers according to the rumour mill.))
Anyway, went smugly to the same article today and it was totally changed!:)
The flash banner that suspiciously bordered exactly through one of the detailed faults was removed, scale changed and a third picture had been added looking very flawless. And the text was moderated, even mentioning the exsistence of the"realdeal picture" I posted (calling it the crappy brochure pix) with even the headline going from "100% certainty something" to "Reportedly Caught On Camera".
Oh, and off-course- all my comments with my excellent Photoshop lecture was totally deleted from this Orwellian website. I Was not even 100% sure I was right in my blatant claims yesterday, but I take this modification as a indication of how thrust worthy this site is:)

..was just a story about comments to some TechCrunch article, not about you really.
If you want me to give you the focus and come up with some advice or suggestion I would go for doubt, based on nothing really, just feel like saying it. I once read this zendude say like be friend with doubt, it opens for new ways of thinking.
If you live in a dark world thrusting no-one, believing everybody are ...... (fill in your favourite negative human trait or species of reptilian shapeshifters)
Then don't forget to especially not thrust yourself even more than if you live in a white world thrusting everybody, believing everybody are ...... (fill in your favourite positive human trait or species of benevolent reptilian shapeshifters)
Yeah, so I guess my point is thrust no-one, especially yourself, then u oughta be safe or something:)
Appendix
Really have little clue to what I am talking about often, U know that??:) Just spew out some words, sometimes to be helpful, other times funny or just because I am bored (like now! thnx!:)
I try to steer away from elaborating on stuff I really cannot claim to have any grasp on and not point others to stuff or knowledge I do not possess or understand giving impression otherwise (thou sheering someone up is a most efficient antidote for depression in oneself), you agree to my view?
Once actually sat down intent to write a book on total-happines/enlightmentsomething, kinda stopped when I realised me myself was totally miserable.. Who knows, mighta written it and "seen the light" reading my own advices.
But would probable been worse than whenthat morbid fat Dr. Phil shamelessly advertised his new "lose weight quick and easy" book on Ophra. And if success I probable had ended up going the Hubbard-style, probable dying ridiculously rich but bitter, alone and paranoid (or together with the cult if the toady bastrds irritates me enough) But I never wrote that book so sadly we will never know:/

I am not here trying to win a popularity contest. The truth can be uncomfortable. There are people here who are misleading others, and themselves. I am not judging them. There are times, when I do this myself, and even masters have entered delusion. The Buddha himself made decisions which were coloured by a frame of reference, and when he was challenged on it, he sat in the non-discriminatory state that is before the conceptual mind, and determined his, mistake.
If you stand on any absolute you are subject to this problem.
It has been for many long centuries a practice of Buddhism to contemplate death and impermanence. There are many examples of this. Buddhism is not an escapist fantasy of pleasantries. Neither is it stark, pessimistic and dark. It simply does not turn away from looking at any subject that may arise, and simultaneously, it does not hold on to it.

Yes, I understand that people in Buddhism are questioning death.
But, the example is about Buddha's wisdom.
Why do you discard the wisdom in favor of being right??

You gave reference to the Buddha teaching about the subject many thousands of yeas ago. Sustaning my only assertion, which was that death an impermanace have been contemplated for this long.

All this is way too serious

Well examine it carefully. What are thoughts? Thoughts are nothing but memories of the past or imagination of the future. In Zen the past is gone so it has no reality and the future will never come. Zen practice is in the Now which is the only reality. The moment you think of the Now it is gone. The moment you are not thinking the Now is all there is. It is so easy yet obviously it is too difficult to most people.

You are wonderful at playing with words.
Now, show me stop thinking and find its root.
Saying Zen is this or that .... it is not Zen.
Past, present, future .... wherever you wish to be ... that is not Zen.
It is only your thinking mind.
Thoughts aren't your imaginations or memories or desires
They are formed at the root of your existence
And only when you have quieted your thinking mind can you observe it ... reflect it .... meld with it .... hahahaha
Stop trying to be right ... stop thinking .... eat your watermelon .... hahahaha

My day was filled with a battle with sense and senses
In simple words ... I had a headache all day long
Must have been the coffee .... hahaha
Funny thing about neti pots
If you don't keep it clean then you just might get a sinus infection
The very thing you wish to prevent ... you could end up giving yourself ... hahaha

Or rather, YOU had quite a point, and he pointed that out.
Often, our own wisdom sneaks up on us when we're not looking. When we're thinking about other things, for instance.

Fear of death , fear of death on love one is mutual. Buddhism to me is a PROCESS to discover that there is NOTHING belong to me NOT EVEN "my body" , "my love one".....all being is of SAME and EQUAL therefore I same and equal with the dirt under your shoes , my daughter is never belong to me and she is of same and equal with the leaf outside my house . Buddhism is a PROCESS of all living or non-living releasing its polluted energy back into emptiness ...........
I am " emptiness" the Buddha and "myself" that consisted of all my desire , emotions is actually pollutants that causes my existence / my suffering and I will continue to exist as long as I still have the will , the desire to exist .
Buddhism is a PROCESS that I learn to free me from myself ....end of my existence . so Buddhism is a PROCESS back into emptiness and death / birth . survival is just a tiny part in this process .

No , if I do perhaps I will have stop breathing long ago . Buddhism to me is realization on breathing leading to freedom of breathing ...........so I do not " pay attention" just to "find out" but rather learning from it , experiencing from it and perhaps will free of it .....thats Buddhism .
In my current understanding ALL path is Buddhism , all being whether living or non-living regardless their action / background is part of Buddhism ,,,so meditation , chantting etc is same as any action by any being in any condition ...is just part of the process known to me as Buddhism.

I am " emptiness" the Buddha and "myself" that consisted of all my desire , emotions is actually pollutants that causes my existence / my suffering and I will continue to exist as long as I still have the will , the desire to exist .
Buddhism is a PROCESS that I learn to free me from myself ....end of my existence . so Buddhism is a PROCESS back into emptiness and death / birth . survival is just a tiny part in this process .

What is the sound of one hand clapping? One hand, not two. one.
If you were to free yourself from some-thing where would you be?
Would you know any-thing then?
What might know? What might be known?
What?
That one hand seems to clasp, not just clap! |

Do you pay attention to your breathing?

No , if I do perhaps I will have stop breathing long ago . Buddhism to me is realization on breathing leading to freedom of breathing ...........so I do not " pay attention" just to "find out" but rather learning from it , experiencing from it and perhaps will free of it .....thats Buddhism .
In my current understanding ALL path is Buddhism , all being whether living or non-living regardless their action / background is part of Buddhism ,,,so meditation , chantting etc is same as any action by any being in any condition ...is just part of the process known to me as Buddhism.
Osama same as Dalai Lama same as Hilter same as Siddharta are all being in their own process releasing own polluted energy towards emptiness .

As human , we attached to the beliefs on distinction on the right verses the wrong , the true verses the false , the good verses the bad ...........we had created " special emotion " towards anything or everything .....perhaps thats is the cause of all our suffering and the cause of our existence . Buddhism is a PROCESS that will end our existence back into the original condition before polluted .
Thats my current view , I hope you could debate with me for my learning process.

Perhaps "polluted versus 'original condition before polluted'" is your belief of distinction that has created special emotion to cause all your suffering.
Maybe if you stop belief in that, and just look and listen, Buddhism can teach you that you are already fine just as you are, and world is fine just as it is, because there is no "polluted versus pure". That is just your belief. "Polluted" is not who and what you are.

Perhaps "polluted versus 'original condition before polluted'" is your belief of distinction that has created special emotion to cause all your suffering.
Maybe if you stop belief in that, and just look and listen, Buddhism can teach you that you are already fine just as you are, and world is fine just as it is, because there is no "polluted versus pure". That is just your belief. "Polluted" is not who and what you are.

......... Dear friend , polluted is NOT comparison to purity ..........polluted is just like a dust on your shirt .....is not there before but is there NOW . The acceptance of the polluted will DECREASE the " self" and wilth ' less self" I will be in an emotion of "less burden" and this emotion is perhaps can be imagined as "happy or compassion or love".......

Dear friend , Buddhism is a PROCESS decreasing the " self" NOT further increase it . "myself" is causes of my existence and all my joy and suffering so with a decrease " self" how can I be more suffering?
Beliave in ownself , have faith is creating MORE SELF , more desire , more emotion and with that more self ...more suffering . Buddhism is a PROCESS knowing , exploring , discovering " this self" , accept " This self" and eventually NATURALLY will be FREE of it ...towards emptiness .
Sir just imagine , if you travel and along the way , you collected things and carry it with you , the more you travel the more you suffer , burden of the weight ......that is in Buddhism creating more self , creating emotions , more desire .......but if you travel relizing that you does not need all the thing and put it down ...so the more you put down the thing , as you trvel you will feel less burden , you will be more " happy" due to the less burden..........thats Buddhism to me my friend is to decrease the emotions , all emotions including love or compassion as all emotions is SAME and EQUAL.
Accepting " ownself" ............and the more one accept himself , NATURAL:LY he will free of the self ...leading to emptinss ....

Yes in my current understanding of Buddhism , nothing is owned by me NOR my family even my body .............and all being is NEVER related but in own purification process ....
so in Buddhism "my" daughter is same and equal as the dirt under my shoe.......so "putting it down" as you decriped is to accept this ........and sorry my friend is NOT that easy ..................
I will undergo a PROCESS to accept this and this PROCESS is Buddhism.

Correct me if I mis-understand you okey , perhaps you mean that my views will "mis-lead" or "influence" my daughter into " wrong path".......
Well IF that is what you mean , I think I am aware of that years before she was born . In Buddhism she is NEVER related to me ( Is seems impossible for me to accept this currently ) and she is just a being in her own purification process SAME as any beings ...so she is a teacher to me .....each day we talked about death , about Buddhism and I am sharing awareness with her and I NEVER had any intention to teach her or influence her ................so she is FREE .

Dear Avisitor , sorry for late reply , I just notice it .
In my current understanding , Buddhism is a PROCESS that we learned from our experiences , our observation on any action / re-action leading to our realization .........and is BEYOND all known knowledge , all culture or lifelihood .
So is never limited to what we known or what we search to know ...is something we will all know , understand and accepted in our own learning process .....................
So dear Avisitor , in knowledge , in human culture that 13 years old girl is 'my daughter'.........because in human culture , we created " RELATIONSHIP' , " OWNERSHIP" and we live in by our knowledge .....base on our knowledge as the basis of our life ......................YES , in my knowledge ,in my current EMOTION / DESIRE/ EGO/LOVE/PRIDE that formed as " myself"...she is MY DAUGHTER and I am her father ..........................
In my current UNDERSTANDING , not yet acceptance .........of Buddhism , nothing is belong to me even " my body" is never owned by me , she is always a being same as any human , any animal , any plant , any non-living in her own process freedom from herself NEVER connected / related to me.....thats my understanding of Buddhism but still my freind I am currently still full of pollutants .........I am learning and I will accept it NATURALLY in a process known to me as Buddhism.
