Well dear FHB's (Fellow Human Beings), here we have the Clutch to our
inner Be-Ness.
I was observing what the Buddha must have reflected, when he was
contemplating on His Own seperateness; seperation being the worst sin
of all.
To think you are by yourself
To think the other is to blame
To think you exsist and the other is maya (solepsism)
To think the others exsist and you yourself are maya ( this is a very
difficult one )
To think maya and karma are one and the same thing
Then....
To understand maya is the mercifull way of Nature to soften karma:
straight Truth kills in most cases and Nature doesn't do the eye for an
eye trick, she always finds a way of giving teaching AND punishment
To understand karma works both ways: from the future into the past and
from the past into the future...I told you this is a difficult one,
however just look at this:
The Buddha came from the 6th round, this is a stage in the developement
of the Earth which is not manifested you may think. Well let me help
you out here: All is manifested however humanity plays in different
loka's (grades)at the same time, but it still the same school we are
all in called the minor school of Being ( microcosmos ).
Then...
Solepsism is true when everything is not manifest, however the observer
doesn't exsist either then
Then...
The other is to blame only when he didn't care enough about you however
at the same time you were to blame also for you didn't pay attention to
the inner teacher. This is the way I always love to learn, its called
harmony by conflict.
Then...
I was once, when I was 7 years old sent away from home, because I had
played with a razorblade and slightly injured my 3 year younger brother.
My parents ( real dugpa's at the time ) sent me away never to return
home, they litterally said: we are not your parents.
I was not shocked and simply said : ok, I am gonna sit their in that
railway tunnel and will just return real home.
A couple of hours later, I was half freezing to death, it was mid
winter, I saw the door closed inside. At the same time I was found by 2
people and they took me to their home. They gave me a hot cup of tea
and called the police to have me returned to my parents.
I simply think now that showed me a lot of answers to a lot of
questions...when you try to follow the Boddhisatva way, how can you
ever want to go HOME, when others are still in the dark? I made my
pledge before I was born and said, when I go downthere in that world I
will find the guys, who went home AND LEFT US BEHIND!!!!
