Inflib:
This is THE question. I have been pondering it for decades.
And …’ Is there still a mind in the mind plane, but without boundaries?’
Is what anyone is just part of universal mind?’
And if without boundaries, and if all are within universal mind, are all notions of individuality and distinction no longer there? This is the ground why some say it amounts to annihilation. No school of the Mahāyāna has come up with a clear and definite answer. I have asked the question here before myself and got no answers.
Would it be one of those questions that even the Buddha would not answer (even today) as it does not help towards Release?
