"Gospel" by Buddha

Post by Viachh »

"Gospel" by Buddha (the Awakened One): we all are sleeping and seeing dreams according to the accumulated karma and there is a way to wake up.

Interesting.
Is this something you have read in the suttas, or something you have thought up from your own brain?

Putting aside that there is no "you" since the special configuration of materiality of the brain is producing illusory thoughts autonomously there is no difference. Every illusory thought depends on preceding conditioning that is nothing but a change of material structures in the brain.
Cleared. αδόξαστος.

Irrelevant to the question being asked.

Irrelevant to the Dhamma. The realisation of "no you" results in the pacification of producing illusory thoughts autonomously. The above is merely conceptual intellectualism reminiscent of Nagarjuna.
There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.
