The above is not really Buddhism. The Buddha emphasised craving rather than "concepts".

Wanna know how pure a buddha's body is? Anything they eat comes back to "life" after it passes through their body.

. If there are no underlying tendencies to cling to pleasant feelings, or to be averse to unpleasant feelings or to ignore neutral feelings then there is no craving. An Arhat has, through ardent practice, abandoned these tendencies and therefore no further craving, or ignorance, arise. It is at the...

That line that arahants do not have control over feelings is false. An Arahant when he uses the six senses does not place his attention on the subha (beauty) element, therefore craving cannot arise. Earth, wind, fire, water. Thinking that beauty is an element and not an individual concept? Is Delus...

Mindfulness originally; Was all about the breath and it's duration. However in truth; it is a yoke. Yoke is a direct translation of the word: Yoga. You don't want to really yoke anything at work other than doing your job as it is contractually descried. If one yokes the mind to breath... one should ...

If asked (one of the many names living beings have given/called me) by what cause did you arrive and find foremost as a teacher? It would be impermanence. The two of: Not self and suffering, don't need those impermanence finished me off long before those two. If one were to think of "mind" beyond co...

Interconnected is suggesting that everyone has the same dependence whether or not the origin is the same... One should actually take such a phrase as an excuse to practice; as untraining the mind to free it from bondage... language is a great focus point to meditate on. Back in early zen hearing a t...

The quote is a rationalisation of: Emptiness is form and form is none other than emptiness... however it reeks of I have a banana and I know how it tastes and you can have none of my banana experience. It is also the same thing as no one can enlighten another; that they have to put in the individual...

Very inspiring and show that dhutanga is possible is West ! :anjali: But... It seems like Ven. Pamutto is now a lay person... It's what I heard about him. :thinking: I can't believe he disrobed. :computerproblem: He seemed so confident... There's a huge pull for Theravadins to go over to Maha as a ...

Best to read the entire pratimoksha every season change instead of just once a year... one will find oneself at much less fault. The strange thing is in reading them only keeping the basic eight to ten they've rarely broken any of the other two-hundred plus. Why read the 227 monks rules four times ...

A discourse is talking, discussing so of course when applied to thinking? In the context given it means discourse or discussing with oneself... In simpler terms; discursive thinking is simply talking to oneself. There is internalised and externalized discursive thought... or simply out loud like ech...

Best thought of as the bardo of becoming as beings arise and pass come and go; and yet there is no longer any becoming as "thus gone". Suchness is best seen as the state of other beings coming and going clinging to perception and apperception and a host of other dualities... just like in meditation ...

It's another leap off of the ten thousand foot pole... Since you're delving into the VM; the most important thing to know? No god no Brahmin can be said to be the maker of all of this. All I can say is good luck as nothing in it is the eightfold path; but all if it is the four noble truths... in my ...

In translations to "english" The pranayama speaking of ascending and descending winds as in knowing short breath long breath until all kinds of breath are known as a complete and exhausted vehicle of study where one knows with wisdom all types of breath and wind.
