How would you say "I am one with everything" in Pali?

[KASHI]

Dear Friends,

I would really like to know how you would say "I am one with everything" in Pali.
Please help and thank you in advance.

Greetings,

I'd recommend "sabbe dhamma anatta"...

sabbe = all
dhamma = (experienced) phenomena
anatta = not-self, not-I

Ha! Playful and correct!

Thank you Friends,
as much as I like "sabbe dhamma anatta", and I plan on using that as a mantra, I would still very much like to know Pali for
"I am one with everything"

if anybody knows please tell me.

Thank you very much

Dear Kashi,

"I am one with everything" isn't really a Theravada Buddhist concept, so will be a little difficult to render it into meaningful Pali.

[KASHI]

Yes I can see and understand how it would be difficult as the phrase is not really something the Buddha taught, I guess I was just looking at it from my own perspective as to say "everything" also meaning "nothing". The bigger picture of "everything" if that makes any sense lol...
thought it would sound cool in the pali language. I hope someone might know.

is actually one of the wrong views mentioned in one of the suttas but can not remember which one!
find the sutta you have your passage.

Thank you Cittasanto,
I do recall this as being wrong view and I am trying to remember what the sutta was as I know I read it not long ago...
Perhaps I should stick to "sabbe dhamma anatta"...
(I like having my own little mantras that are not the "norm")

Take care my friend.

I don't recall it being phrased exactly like that, but there is this from MN 1, Ven Nanamoli trans:

23. “He perceives unity as unity. Having perceived unity as unity, he conceives [himself as] unity, he conceives [himself] in unity, he conceives [himself apart] from unity, he conceives unity to be ‘mine,’ he delights in unity. Why is that? Because he has not fully understood it, I say.
...
25. “He perceives all as all. Having perceived all as all, he conceives [himself as] all, [4] he conceives [himself] in all, he conceives [himself apart] from all, he conceives all to be ‘mine,’ he delights in all. Why is that? Because he has not fully understood it, I say.

Is that what you were thinking of?

I think that is it.

Greetings Kashi,

Well, if that's the one you were thinking of, maybe you might like to pause and think again... since if you read the sutta end-to-end, you'll see it's actually speaking out against such perceptions. Compare what the worldling does, what the trainee should do, and what the arahant does.

Metta,
Retro.
