Namo Buddhaya
Dear brother Waisaka in the precious Dhamma.
Much gratitude for your wonderful attempts to help another understand what is what. Also I would just like to share that your English is much better than most other second language speakers. 😊
I only recently became a follower of Buddhism. My understanding is limited. But I will of course share the little that I have to share.
If it perhaps has relevance, I started to follow the Dhamma after reading ‘Handbook for Mankind’ by Buddhadasa from Thailand which affected me greatly.
Quote, ”see the world in themselves.” I know nothing of this.
Quote, ”Where is the suffering and non-self in this water?” According to my limited understanding, if I am reborn as a puddle of water, I will identify with the puddle (anatta) because it gives me pleasure when someone steps in me (an example of feeling) and therefore due to evaporation (anicca), I will experience suffering (dukkha) because my death is close.
Quote, ”if we do not see them in internal form.” But is seeing an internal form not just grasping? Internal, external, tall, short, fat, thin… These are concepts based on desire which lead to suffering. If there is a real internal form, it must be permanent, satisfying and a self-identity.
These humble replies are mostly just repeating what I read in Handbook for Mankind.
Thank you for your time and love.
